I think sharing my experience of what happened will help me out here.

I was in my dorm room with my roommate, who was hanging out with a good-looking woman. I guess after sitting for a while I started to feel very uncomfortable, sitting in front of this computer with the soft talking between the two in the background. I ended up walking outside for a while and got some fresh air. For the first time in a long time, I sat down on a curb and I started to cry.

That's not good. This whole time I've been just waiting it out and letting this whole relationship thing come naturally to me, but it seems hard to do when it's one of those things that makes you go a little bit insane (for example, when i see a couple kiss or i see a couple holding hands in public, something happens where i clench my right fist a little bit).

I am focused on college as my priority, which is good. I shouldn't feel like there is emptiness.

I don't want to feel like I'm the odd man out in a group, just because I don't chase or talk to a lot of women.

I don't know why I reacted the way I did in this situation.

OMG, I totally reacted the same way when I saw my roommate who brought this guy in the room that she was flirting with. It made me feel very uncomfortable and it was in the middle of finals. Course the difference was she was cheating on her bf so wasn't the most ideal..........

I am not telling you to not focus on your studies.

But keep in mind that College is the best place and phase to meet girls. Later, especially if you're not social, it's gonna be way harder, and the emptiness would haunt you.

i know how you are feeling OP, i get the same feelings every now and again, especially when housemates and friends of mine get a new relationship within weeks of ending the last one, or hook up with a girl i kinda liked, yet knew was taken.

however, i do also agree with boo, college is the time to at least get get some experience in the dating scene, something i feel sad about as well, as my time in college is nearing its end, and my experience counter still stands firmly at zero...
