All the popular kids at my school had girl friends/boy friends at 13 or 14. Majority of kids had been in a relationship by 16. Reaching the age of 16 and never had a girl friend I knew it was all over for me and I accepted my fate of being forever alone. Unattractive, introverted guys with a lack of social skills are not wanted.


Most of the people I know these days didn't really start properly dating until their late teens to early 20's, although during school I did know plenty of on and off again relationships (they never really lasted, and some were downright abusive), coupled with the occasional teen pregnancy. Then again, I am part of a rather nerdy social group...I know a few people that are in their 20's and haven't had a relationship (including close friends of mine of varying orientations, primarily straight but some aren't).

My sister didn't start dating until her 20's, but she's had relationships.

Maybe your friend thinks you’re ugly.

I wouldn't worry too much. I've gone out with some pretty odd people so it's not like it's a big deal that you have some odd things about you. You don't need to get physical with someone when you've started dating, could be i've gone out with many quite careful men or they have acted on the vibe i've sent out but i've gone on many dates without even recieveing a hug at the end of it but after 1 or 2 dates more they usually carefully ask if a hug is fine lol. I'm not a fan of physical contact either and I think that's obvious to the people I meet but for me I enjoy physical contact with someone I have romantic feelings and attraction towards but that is far from everyone i've gone on dates with. I'm picky, lol.
As for the chewing bit you don't have to go eating, I hate eating on first or even second dates because i'm too nervous to eat, there are plenty other things you can do such as just having coffee/tea/hot chocolate, going for a walk or some other activity. When you get to know each other better and want to keep seeing each other you can tell your date about the things you find difficult, hopefully if they're a decent person they'll understand.
Dating doesn't have to be hard just find the best way for you to be comfortable on the date!

You are fortunate in the fact that you are a female which means that you are not necessarily expected to make the first approach or even to initiate any of the first moves after that. I don't mean this to tell you that you don't have to do anything, only to say that you don't necessarily have to feel like there is a great deal of pressure on you to perform or have all your conversation lines and logistics on point. If you take care of your health and physical appearance, practice good hygiene, stay polite and kindhearted, and don't be a complete shut-in so that interested guys can actually see you and know that you exist, there is a good chance that you will be approached by an interested guy and all you really have to do then (assuming you are interested) is go along for the ride and not be too relentless with the sh*t tests (I did not want to write a curse word but this is the most common term used to express this concept) so as not to drive away any potential suitor.


I'm gay.



Didn't know that. In that case, I don't know. I've never had any experience with gay relationships. Best to ask another gay woman who has managed the kind of dating/romantic life that you want to have because she clearly has some idea of how to do it.

Of course you will; everybody has a hard time learning to date.
Just learn to be the kind of open, honest, compassionate, and loving person you would be interested in dating, and you might find that the rest of it takes care of itself.

Don't worry; you'll be fine.

I know that this is an old thread, and it may seem like I'm spamming because I'm only replying to this now but...sometimes I think about this thread randomly and I feel like I should probably clarify something. When I was on about aspiring to be like this, I wasn't on about being like the vampire...what I meant was that I want to be that good at animation someday. :lol:
