Search Results: romantic ideas

I am in my early twenties. Never been in a relationship. Have gone on "dates" through online. They either go no where or last pretty short term/fizzle out. I cannot trust people. I would love to be in a romantic relationship. I am told I'm a pretty girl by others. I'm kind of thick, lost over 60 lbs for the year and am still very insecure in my figure. I know you're supposed to love yourself before you love anyone else. But. I am so caught in my negative thought pattern due to my lack of romantic relationships. I don't go out often and pretty much have no friends. People tend to automatically assume I'm picky. In hs, guys didn't really give me the time of day. Was only asked out once or twice and I didn't like them that much/was scared to open up. I have terrible anxiety and have come to the conclusion that I'm going to end up alone.

My mother thinks I should continue online due to my introvertedness but I believe that is not the best idea. I feel most of the guys on there want casual sex. Anyway, I'm still a virgin too. And at 23, that's pretty sad. Only once in a while will a good looking guy check me out. And the guys that look at me, I have no interest in. It bugs me and I feel so down about this. I really must not be attractive :/. I would love to put myself out there and fall in love but I feel my chances are slowly diminishing. Oh, don't forget that everyone I know has been in a romantic relationship but me.
