Dating : 17 m struggle with dating
I am a 17 year old guy who has never been in a relationship or even kissed a girl and tbh I am not exactly sure why. I don’t actively avoid talking to girls but also don’t actively do so. I am 100% not socially awkward and flourish in normal social aspects but seem to struggle with getting that next step. I also believe it is not because I am not attractive enough as generally I would say I am average looking around a 6-7 out of 10 and have some good features going for me such as I am quite tall at 6 foot 6. However, I believe that I do have some downsides such as I usually don’t dress to impress and actually believe my height at my age could be seen as off putting to some people.
Don’t be put off by anything I never kissed a girl till I was 17 either and it will happen eventually try not to force it because if you do then usually it dosent work out but don’t put yourself down
What is it exactly that you do that’s “the next step”? Are you constantly asking girls out on dates and get rejected or are you or even trying at all? Don’t expect girls to be knocking on your door, that hardly happens.
sound similar to me, I didn’t kiss a girl until 18 or 19 on NYE…
Usually the people who struggle the most in something or “lack” the most are the ones who gain the highest level of success. You’re young, if you think other guys your age are getting with plenty of girls. Believe me they’re struggling just as much as you are. If you want to improve with women. Remember to treat them as a person. Kindness, intelligence, and confidence are honest signals of attraction and of being a good person in general. Rejection is normal along the way. If some girl rejects you that doesn’t mean n=1. Rejection is simply people rejecting the situation they are in. Think about it… for someone to truly rejection you as a person they have to know EVERYTHING about YOU and then they will have the power to say: “I reject you as a person.” Pretty ridiculous, huh? If you want to have a better dating life become friends with guys who are more experienced than you. We as humans learn through osmosis. Also put yourself out there and when you see a attractive girl while in school or grocery store or wherever go up to her and talk to her, see where it goes. Worst thing that can happen is she rejects you.
