Still single

@Markness

I'm not saying you do nothing. You have your music interest for example.
But I only remember one occasion when you seemed to be doing something practical (someone you met at a concert, perhaps last year?).

Think about how the "grocery store goth" scenario you described sounded to us.

By this I don't mean it was an error not to make contact the first time.
But if I remember correctly you just let it go.

You could at least have gone back, but prepared this time, with the goal of a perhaps being recognized as a fellow goth next time (so a second and third visit would be needed).

At worst you'd get some practice in, so it's a small plus relative to doing nothing :)
I did go again a week ago and made an effort to engage with her.
 
I never meet any who never dated. I seem to be alone to that even to other single guys. I just noticed more single women. Not many, but more.
My brother has never had a girlfriend since high school (and that was very short-lived). He's 38 now.

a friend of mine whom i have known since middle school, he barely got his first ever girlfriend last year at either 34 or 35, he wasn't a virgin though, he told me his first time ever having sex was with a woman he paid, a stripper, well paying for sex is often considered the worlds oldest profession. I have mixed emotions on him not getting his first girlfriend until late in life. From what i said on another post.
 
I'm so desperate I say screw my believes I am one day thinking the same thing or an escort, but I am deathly afraid of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
i have no regrets, since unfortuneately i got involved with an asexual woman, stayed with her too long, was hoping she would eventually change but sadly didn't
 
Sorry but just like @Markness I just went through a similar experience with a girl. Okay maybe not as extreme as Mark. She still lives here. I still message her, but she wants to only be acquaintances because of my autism, not even friends and for the million time I was not looking for anything romantic. But it is still hurtful.
I am sorry that happened to you, but again, telling others to be miserable is not great advice. Continuously stewing in the same problem does not solve anything. Best thing to do is just to continue trying, even if it does seem like a fool's errand.
 
I always seem to attract men. Even romantically which I find annoying because I am so straight and for women. So I did feel uncomfortable around men hanging around them. But now I feel fine hanging out with them from church.
 
yup, i sometimes get angry and full of rage that i was born male, born a man, because i know i'm not the only gender that feels that men were dealt the short end of the stick in human mating.
 
I am so wrong. I talked to my female friend. What a big misunderstanding. She really cares for me greatly. I feel so sorry saying bad things about her.
