Search Results: 100 reasons to love

I'm 29 years old. I'm currently unemployed- I founded my own company and ran it for five years, but it never became profitable, and I had to liquidate it. I don't have any friends any more- the few friendships I've ever managed to make over the course of my life never lasted, with each supposed 'friend' breaking off all contact with me without warning and for no apparent reason other than that they were bored with me. And I've never had a girlfriend; I've never had sex, never had sexual contact, never passionately kissed, and never gone on my first date.

That's largely thanks to the fact that I've been virgin-shamed since I was in my early teens, and it's only got worse and worse as I've got older. But it's also because, while I've always wanted a girlfriend, perhaps more than anything else in the world, I also always wanted to be able to support her, and to be able to take full responsibility for anything which might have resulted from a relationship. I wanted to build a career first, and be capable of supporting a family financially before I set about making one. I wanted to be worthy, aspiring to be that ideal, strong, responsible and successful husband for my ideal wife. But it's too late for that now- the business failed, so that ship has sailed.

I may still be a virgin, for non-religious reasons, and romanticise love and affection in a relationship, but I'm also a closet nymphomaniac. I've always had a libido that was off the charts, and while I've managed to hold myself back for all these years, I've become practically obsessed with sex. I really want to do it, and I know that I have everything that it takes to be great at it. I've been trying to get a girlfriend all this time, through online dating and at singles events, but no-one's ever really wanted to know me, and I've never been able to devote 100% of my time and effort to it. So, how would you rate my chances of getting a girlfriend? And how, if at all, could those chan

Two weeks ago, my girlfriend decided that itd be better if we were just friends. Her university course involves 6 months of work placement meaning that next year she'll be working from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. She said that the reason why she wants to split up is because she doesn't think she'll have time for a relationship. I reassured her that I dont mind if she doesn't have the time to see me every day and that if we were in a relationship, I'd support her and get her through the difficult days etc. She said that if she was in a relationship, she'd need to put time and commitment into it and with everything that she'll have going on in her life, she doesn't think she'd be able to put 100% into it. I said to her that I'm willing to wait however long it takes for her to have the time for a relationship but she said that she doesn't know when that'll be. She also said that when the time does come, that she'll have time a relationship again then she'd want that to be with me since she still loves me. So we agreed that when she's ready she'll talk to me about it and until then we'll carry on as "close friends". The thing is, over the last 2 weeks, we still spent at least 1-2 hours together (just me and her) which shows that she'd have the time. The other thing is that she came over to my flat several times to watch movies and every occasion, we lied on my bed, cuddled up while watching the movie. In the last week, she also slept at mine on 3 occasions where we slept, cuddled up, holding hands and spooning.
Our flats are next to each other and we have the same friends group and they were saying that we both still act like we're in a relationship together.
Im just not sure what to make of this. I dont think that "close friends" cuddle while watching a movie, or sleep together while doing all the things mentioned above. Im not sure if this is something I should talk to her about or just wait and let itself work out?
Thank you
