A woman hasn't been romantically interested in me for a very long time. And very few in my life ever have been.
I wouldn't say I'm completely unattractive. Just really shy and introverted. My heart has, at times, ached for female companionship. But realistically, my life is too chaotic to support any kind of relationship. I think, maybe, they sense this. The feeling can be very intense and painful. I find that it usually passes if I can find some way to cope with it until it does.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that someone out here can relate. I feel the same feelings of awkwardness. When ever I've ever thought about approaching a woman, I felt like it was something I wasn't supposed to do. I felt sure she'd think I was a dweeb or a creep or something. I don't know. I was sure, I'd be rejected and that would just kill my self esteem even more.
And of course, everyone who knows me knows that I'm the guy who's never really had a GF. Somehow, that makes me less desirable because they wonder what's wrong with me that I can't accomplish this simple feat that most people accomplish in their teen years. I guess I do seem a bit weird outwardly. Not many people are happy alone. I actually kind of am. Like I said, there are times when I want a woman in my life more than anything. Other times, I couldn't care less.
Thing to remember. It may seem like it but you're not alone. We're kind of loosely scattered but there are a lot of us awkward loners out here. I don't know if that gives you any comfort or not but that was my intent
