How can I tell if women were not meant for me in life?

[LonelyTimes]

I am 27, turning 28 in a matter of months, and I never had a real girlfriend. Meanwhile, I am watching all my peers and even couples younger than me get married, have kids, or both. One of my former friends has 2 kids!

I have had mostly rejections and no good success with women. I don't really have a good means of meeting women right now, as my social network is very limited. I am not a pick up artist by any means, and I am shy and have limited conversation skills.

At what point (or what signs) would I come to the conclusion women were not meant to happen for me in my life's path?

You have to realize I am pushing my 30s and never had a real relationship before.

I sincerely think we and a lot of other men are in the same boat. I find a lot myself in your description and I gave up some time ago on women. I sincerely feel a lot discouraged, maybe I’m not suited to find a woman that appreciates me for something else than friendship.
But don’t worry, life is also beautiful and full of things to do with friends or alone!

Don't worry, you're not the only one. I'm 31, and I'm pretty sure I'll beat Steve Carell.

Yeah, it has been a never-ending challenge that blows my mind.
