22 year old feeling empty with no girlfriend?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently a 22 year old uni student and lately I've been feeling pretty empty with the lack of a girlfriend. I've spend the past two years in uni and not found one single person I might be interested in. I keep thinking that ill never find someone and I feel like I don't not understanding the "whole dating without expecting anything". To be honest I've never been in a REAL relationship (a few flings in high school and that's it) and uni has been more about working my ass off all night instead of hanging around with friends.

I don't think I'm a horrible looking guy...in fact I get a lot of compliments from close high school friends, and if I were to describe myself, it would prob be that I'm 'nice'. The one everyone knows as being nice and right (although I do vent my anger once in a while)

It feels like everyone else has things going for them and I'm still stuck in my usual routine. I feel like I don't go out much, and if I do, its with a small group of uni or high school friends, with the occasional 21st here and there.

So I guess the bottom line question is:

Should I just go about being myself because everyone tells me I'm a nice confident guy? (guys have told me if they were a woman they would date me)

This makes me wonder whether there's something about me that makes women categorize me straight into the 'friends' box when they meet me.

I think for the most part, you need to be yourself. I feel like I have a lot in common with you, I'm nice, confident, caring, sensitive, and also a virgin. I'm 19 and have had my share of girlfriends and hook ups and all that, just not sex. But I feel like you need to act yourself with maybe the exception of trying to be more flirty. If you always get put straight into the friends category, maybe girls you meet don't realize you're interested/looking. I'm guessing if you just work on letting them know from the beginning that you are looking to meet a girl to have something with, you will have a better start. Worst case, you let her know and she doesn't feel the same and you can still be friends after that. But just trying being more open and flirty and see how that works out for you.

Thanks alot. How do you let them know from the beginning that your interested in them? And what sort of things can be considered flirty when getting to know a girl?

after you start talking to someone just tell them things like how you think they're attractive, or that they looked nice today and stuff. usually a girl will pick up on little hints like that. As far as being flirty, just tease them and joke around I don't know how to explain it. Make them laugh that's my general approach

Chin up, buddy. Be yourself. I'm a 22-year-old college student who loves nice guys, but I've never been in a relationship either. I'll bet there are girls pining after you that you don't even realize, because I've totally been that girl. You're wonderful, and there's no doubt in my mind that you're going to meet that girl whose heart melts for you. Keep an eye out for her. :)

Its always nice to hear advice from another human being and not some internet web page about how to meet people.
