Is there any hope for hopeless romantic guys, or are we just well, hopeless?

I keep having hope that because I am such a great guy with a lot to offer, that wants to love women the right way, that things will turn out alright. I have never dated a girl ever, so that means no kissing and especially no sex because I have always wanted to wait for the right time.

But the times are so different now. All of the people that want casual sex are always out, they have a ton of friends, both male and female. I have no female friends.

Only unattractive and weird girls ever want to talk to me, and when I try talking to good looking girls, it's never really turned out all that great. They just end up thinking that I like them, which is false most of the time, and then a friendship doesn't form. I'm completely hopeless in this regard.

I also have very few male friends. This isn't how life should be for a guy that's approaching his mid 20's!

One thing too, it seems like people just look my direction and think, "oh that guy seems to be doing alright, has friends, etc," but in reality, deep inside, I feel awful. I feel alone every single day, low levels of motivation, just all around depressed. When I am around people, I do my best to put on a happy, pleasant face, and laugh and joke with people, but I really don't feel that way inside after all is said and done.

I don't know if I should have hope that things will get better or not, I would think things could only go up from here, but I don't know. People just have never bothered with me, and I'm anything but a bother. Heck, I'd be your best friend!

Why does being a good person and an individual have so many social drawbacks? It's like nobody even cares.
