Is it normal that i've never had a girlfriend before?

Throughout my entire life I have been a loner. This isn't because I want to be, it really depresses me to be honest. People just aren't intersted in me, even as mutual friends, yet alone being in a relationship. Through school and the rest of my life - alone. =( is it normal to have been this lonely through my life?

    That's really shitty. Maybe you should join a group thingy from Craigslist, so you do activities with people and you'll meet people no matter what. You'll be able to observe people and learn how to communicate better.

    I think its better to be alone, nobody hurts you that way. But, if it bothers you , just go out or join a club and make new friends. Don't rush it though it'll come when its time for it to happen.

    Dude, I hope you could snap out of it. Get in shape and build confidence in yourself. Get a degree and a good job and then you will attract some women.
    I wish there was a website for people to meet that are typically loners, quiet, insecure and nice.

    A sad post, but ask yourself this: how interested are you in other people? When talking to them, are you really listening, or are you so wrapped up in yourself that you only think about what you're going to say? Being a good listener will make you fun to be with.

    Hey man, you are amongst millions, let me tell you my story so you understand. I started really getting interested in girls when I was around 13 when my best friend Mason had this girlfriend, I thought I needed one too, I have always been insecure about myself (still am), never good talking to girls (would get nervous, say stupid things), and throughout my high school years I was always hanging out with guys better looking than me. I didn't have my first girlfriend until I was 17, I am now 18 and have had 4 since. All you have to do is be comfortable with yourself, the main problem I had was insecurity and high standards. Be sweet, but not overly sweet or you will scare her off, once you have a good friendship going, you can start throwing subtle hints (i.e. "Goodnight gorgeous", "You looked really cute today :)" etc). Also one thing that turns off women is telling them you love them early on, I've made that mistake many a time, you shoot yourself in the foot every time, I like to wait for her to be the first to say those three words to be on the safe side. Here is how I start talking to girls, I go on my FB into messaging, any girls online I don't talk to, I'll shoot them a message saying, "I noticed we've been friends on FB for a while but have never really talked. What's up :)?". Go on from there, if they honestly sound uninterested, give them their space and move on. Also about the standards thing, trying to get a girl out of your league is like trying to strikeout a professional batter, it's possible, but chances are it won't happen. Good luck man and keep your head up!

        At that age, you shouldn't really be worrying about stuff like this.
        You still have many years ahead of you to meet someone special and make great friends.

          I'm 19 and I'm in the same position as the OP and I really don't mind. Good things come to those who wait.

    Not too sure about Craigslist. One should be careful meeting strangers. We all crave new cock and pussy, just be careful.
