Relationship envy

First get a job dude. What girl would be with an unemployed guy

Wow! Your story sounds almost exactly like mine. I'm a 23 year old guy and I've never had a girlfriend, kissed anyone or been on a date. I too find myself envious of other couples. I feel alone, and like I'll never find someone. It's good to know that there are other people out there like me :)

Depression can be a symptom of anxiety, i myself have anxiety. Have you tried any form of medication to help with the symptoms?
Maybe you should look elsewhere for girls... If it makes you feel any better I really do understand how you feel, I am 20 and have never had a boyfriend, but for more complex reasons.
I can see how you are afraid of becoming bitter, but only you can decide whether you will react that way. I think you need to try a different approach since whatever you have been doing isn't working for you.

You need to be happy being single before you can be happy in a relationship.

You're still young. I wouldn't worry about trying to find someone. You usually get what you want when you're not looking for it. Believe me I know. Don't settle, but give girls a chance.

You should work on getting your life together before you get in a relationship. No one can love you if you don't love yourself. Keep your head up!!!

its that or be gay. don't be so picky

Hello there,

Your problem is a far more fundamental one: lack of self-confidence. This may have resulted from multipe rejections. This may also be the reason why you have difficulty finding a job.

So this lack of confidence is the very first thing which I recommend you tackle immediately. To be frank with you, I envy others with relationships occasionally, but let's be frank here; it's fantastic to be in a loving relationship, but it's hardly life's ultimate objective. The ultimate objective is to enjoy life to the utmost and do what you want to do.

I agree with what others have said here. You need to engage in activities that will boost your confidence significantly, whether it be joining clubs and playing sports or whatever. Go do a bit of travelling or whatever it is that you enjoy doing. When the self-confidence returns, everything else will come into place. I really hope this helps by the way, but you are not alone, there are others out there and you know we are here to listen.

You sound like a good guy to me, and you're wasting yourself not living YOUR life that YOU want.
It's totally normal to feel like crap after someone has rejected you - it happens to the best of us :( but that's life. Look forward, not at what has happened.
As you have a negative opinion on your day-to-day life, introduce changes into your life, and your love-life will follow that change. Apply for a job, join a club which interests you... the worst thing you can do is give up - trust me it'll be a lot worse for you if you sit on the couch feeling like poo.
Perhaps you can go to confidence boosting classes? lol if i make any negative comment about having no confidence i'd be a hipocrite, but being at a younger age hopefully means that i can develop my confidence... - that is exactly what you need to do, take small steps to gradually rebuild your confidence.
You only have one life - go make the most of it! Go out with your friends, have a laugh. There is more to life than love - although love is important, you need to develop yourself before you concentrate on that aspect and finds someone who loves you in return - and you will, I promise.
Take care x

What do your friends say when you tell them about how you feel?

you are just 23, i really dont see what's the big deal about relationships. your time is precious when you really should be thinking about the future and your goals. if relationship has to happen it will don't worry. and as always grass is greener on the other side, don't say later no-one said relationships r too hyped. enjoy your time being single, because i am in a relationship and i really miss the other side of the grass.
