Search Results: age is an issue

Growing up, I was a major outcast and suffered with a lot of severe mental health issues. I had interests that were obsessive and unusual, such as an interest in fire alarms, phone systems, and intercoms. I missed a lot of school due to mental health reasons that required hospitalization and residential treatment. I hardly fit in with anyone at school, and girls especially didn't pay any attention to me. I was also (and still am) short in height at 5'6". I missed a lot of developmental milestones that I reap today.

I was never athletic in school. I was not involved in sports really. I was, however, involved in boy scouts up to age 16 and transitioned into the fire explorer programs.

Socially, I have always struggled. I was hoping adulthood would be better, but it turned out to be worse and a nightmare.

I am 27, almost 28, and I never had a real girlfriend. My absolute biggest regret that kills me to this day is not experiencing young romance. I so wish I was able to form those memories with a girl when I was young who was around my age.

It wasn't until I was around 19 when I had my first kiss with this girl I found repulsive to me. I tried dating her, but it just didn't feel right. She just was not attractive to me.

Also, there was this girl named Izzy that was around 15 when I was 18. Although we cuddled and I kissed her, she became a transgender man and resents me. There is no going back there.

When I was 20, I lost my virginity to another 16 year old girl during a weekend fling. She did not want anything to do with me romantically after that. In fact, I was convicted of stalking because of her (long story).

After that, all I have had is online things with girls where they rejected me upon meeting me in person because I was unattractive to them.

I haven't touched a girl in 7 years. Meanwhile, all my peers and former friends I have known are married and have kids.

I want a woman without a romantic past where we can be each other's first loves.

Heterosexual Ladies of GAG: Here's a hypothetical man. I was told by one female user he'd be a good man. But is that true? If you were/are currently single... WOULD YOU DATE THIS GUY?

POSITIVE TRAITS:

- Very Respectful, to both you and everyone else. But will always treat you with respect.

- Has good Communication skills, both in public speaking and especially in communicating with you.

- Very Affectionate; romantic, very touchy, and compassionate towards you.

- Really Loyal; to both you and his friends and family. He's the most dependable, reliable guy around.

- Intelligent and highly resourceful. Can easily solve many life problems, as long as they're not social issues.

- Good Sense of Humor. Is witty to hysterical, depending on the time and situation.

- Ethical. An all-around 'good' person. Not a saint or angel, but does his best to be a decent human being.

NEGATIVE TRAITS:

- Short. Probably your height (5'8" or under) in shoes or shorter than you. Use your imagination.

- Average looking face. Probably a 4 or 5 in looks. Easily someone you would NOT find attractive or good looking at all!

- Broke. Only makes around $25,000 a year working full time. May or may not be in university.

- Out of shape. Use your imagination here, but I won't give specifics. Could have a Dad Bod (average-fat), could be stocky/chubby (overweight), or could be obese (290-360 pounds). Take a guess.

- Gamer. Enjoys video games. Plays games about 6 to 9 hours a week. For many, many women, a gamer is a dealbreaker.

- Lonely. Has been alone for a long time (life). Is the same age as you and born in the same year, but has never dated anyone and is currently a virgin.

- Small penis. Is less than 7 inches, but more than 3.9. Use your imagination for the maximum you'd consider "small."

SO, WOULD YOU DATE THIS MAN? (No, he's not me! Nice try.)

I’m almost 29 and have never had a girlfriend or dated. At this point, I just feel like its gonna be a repeating cycle of going on dates, only to get rejected once a girl finds out how inexperienced I am. So I was asking this because I was wondering if this has happened to any guys on here who are or were inexperienced at an older age, or if their inexperience gave them no issues with dating.
