The "Forever Alone" Thread

<p>Post here if you are a lonely loser that has never dated in high school! Then we can commiserate together! I'll even boost yourself esteem: I have never been on a single date in my life! I haven't even gone to a dance with someone. It's not that I'm ugly; I'm 100 pounds and I've been ogled by a bunch of creeps, but no one has ever asked me to a dance/on a date, and I'm too much of a wimp to ask someone! Anyone else in the same situation?</p>

<p>You’re not alone, though I have different stories to tell. lol.</p>

<p>I haven’t really. Mostly because my parents are pretty strict on that kind of thing and used to not allow me to date. Can’t wait till college!</p>

<p>sophmore in college. I got ya’ll beat… in a bad way.</p>

<p>Senior in high school. I have a social disorder though, which is my excuse.</p>

<p>Maybe you could just get off 4chan.</p>

<p>Well, I’ve teachnically never dated, but I’ve had a…thing…with a couple of guys. I think I just discourage relationships somehow.</p>

<p>Signing for the forever alone army here. A meme I saw:</p>

<p>“Why not take all the forever alone boys, and make them meet all the forever alone girls?”</p>

<p>Problem Solved.</p>

<p>Dates are very fun. If you feel too stressed to ask anyone, try to think of dates differently. They aren’t that serious-- they’re just an excuse to have some fun with someone you like. If they say no, if it doesn’t work out… who cares? You aren’t going to marry your first date.</p>

<p>And you don’t have to call them dates. If you like someone, just ask if they want to go to some cool concert, or a movie you know they’ve been looking forward to, etc. etc. If you guys enjoy it, ask him/her to go to something else another time, and eventually a relationship will start… or you’ll just have a cool new friend. And going places with a larger group works wonderfully if you want it to be less “awkward.” Either way, you’ll eventually work up the courage to be more assertive. Practice makes perfect.</p>

<p>@Tizil7, I agree, perfect solution. But how do you suppose we go about doing that?</p>

<p>A prominent reason why there are so many single guys is because they have impossibly high standards and a similar reason for girls is that they fall under the standards of most guys. There are other reasons, like social anxiety and environmental factors, but mostly “forever alone” guys think they can do better than “forever alone” girls.</p>

<p>I’m a Junior, and I don’t have female friends, let alone a girlfriend, does that make you feel better?</p>

<p>Are you fat and nerdy? :smiley: I’m sorry, don’t mean to be rude or anything, just have to ask.</p>

<p>I’m on the same boat too. All the creepy guys i dont like have a thing for me while the guys I like are not interested in me or maybe they were and i was into someone else at the time so now they are over me.
But I dont really worry about it anymore since I realized that most of guys I liked were ******bags anyways so why date someone when you know that the relationship is doomed from the start?
I’m better off just waiting for someone who is actually worth my time =)</p>

<p>^Sounds like an excuse to me. You’ll never find someone “worth your time” if you nitpick everyone who likes you down to a nub.</p>

<p>^No point in settling if it makes you unhappy, either.</p>

<p>But it isn’t like a marriage. You can go on a date with someone, and then say, “Let’s stay friends,” and decline the second date. If it makes you that unhappy to go out to dinner with someone, perhaps you should choose a better venue.</p>

<p>I just want to be asked out by a decent looking, nice guy. All the guys that have asked me out are the socially awkward guys that I’m nice to at school. I think part of it is that guys are intimidated by me… or so I’ve been told. I’m strong willed, intelligent, and “I am woman, hear me roar”… do guys really not like that?</p>

<p>I’m a girl, stuck in the “friend zone”
Up until now I hardly thought that possible.</p>
