Just fed up. Feel like every time I meet someone new that I like I get rejected. I'm sick of relatives asking if I've met "anyone yet?"

Yet... like I'm not fulfilling a milestone that I am meant to reach.

Nope, no one likes me back yet... no one ever will...

I somewhat share your experience:

I only fell in love with 3 women, one at a time.

The first 2 rejected me on the spot, but the 3rd one has been playing hot and cold with me for a while.

Now, it seems that she does NOT want me at all either, and she is NOT going me any physical affection anymore!! !

I WANT A GIRLFRIEND SO f*****g BAD!! !! !!

Hopefully you can keep meeting people and eventually find someone as different as you are who you can mutually connect with.

I get what you're saying. I'm that guy in class whom girls laugh at when he's speaking. The one everyone tries tricking into saying "funny" things. I just can't say anything to be took seriously.

There's your problem. Women pick up on the neediness and are repulsed/scared.

Stop wanting/needing them and they'll come. It doesn't make sense at all, I know, but that's how it is.

With all due respect I'm twice your age and a bit. It's not at all the same thing. I feel like the older I get the more difficult it is, I'm just getting older and less attractive. Men my age don't want me, they want someone younger, prettier and more bubbly.

Although I do offer you a virtual hug. Being a teenager sucks.

Tell the rellies to stop asking and change the subject if they persist. Like, "you'll be among the first to know if I meet someone, so how about those Cubs?". Keep changing subject, over and over.

If you haven't already done so, you could ask the inquiring rellies to set you up with cute single girls -- surely some have a single young colleague, classmate or stepgrandaughter's friend. Plus keep doing the usual meeting people stuff -- take up an activity you enjoy that'll have girls who share your interests, online dating, get friends to introduce you, etc.

Bonne chance?

I'm like you. I'm incredibly lonely and it looks like I'm going to stay that way.

I always think I'm showing interest in a girl when it turns out they find me "odd", "nerdy" or the latest one being "too open" and I don't realize I'm conveying that. I have the problem of sharing too much about myself because I can't understand the "logic" of "normal" people being that it's preferable to hide or not disclose things about yourself to potential mates.

I also assume women just aren't interested in me and sometimes another guy will later tell me that a particular girl was showing obvious signs and flirting but I didn't pick up on it. Even then I sometimes assume the guy telling me this is picking on me or just messing with me somehow.

I get it completely and being lonely really sucks.

Finding somebody is only half the problem, keeping hold of them can be just as stressful. I'm not so sure it's worth it.

I agree. The struggle to keep a relationship going is tiring and takes focus away from hobbies and interests anyway.

I'm in that boat. I am hoping that I can stop caring, but I haven't yet.

Katy, don't you think hurtloam is being a needy guy? Can't you sense something is leading to "entitlement" in his post?

"Too open" is usually telling intensely personal details to a person you don't know very well. So uncomfy.

Odd and nerdy, you may as well embrace. I'm odd, the BF is odd, most of my friends are odd. My interests are somewhat odd. Non-odd friends would not enjoy steampunk, the occasional comic convention and hiking trips in Bhutan.
