I sincerely don't know why for sure. However, I think it just has something to do with the events I'm going to. The usual game cafe has these regular MTG and D&D events every week, which is basically my excuse for going. Not a lot of women show up to those events at all, and I honestly don't kno...

I guess the main drive was just finding a genuine romantic connection. I'm not really the kind of guy who is into casual or hookups, nor do I think I'd be good at it if I tried 😂 In terms of "getting needs met", no. I don't think there is any place that can help with that. The places I go ...

I honestly don't know. I don't know what it is I need. It just feels like I need to fight against every instinct that I have because nothing I do is ever "enough" to satisfy reality. It just feels like the only way to be even slightly happy is to keep going on the road I'm on and give up o...

I'm 23, have ADHD, still a virgin (though I've somewhat lost my ability to care) and for a long time, I've quit dating because I haven't been able to figure it out. I've always been a pretty active person but lately I haven't found any places to reliably meet women my age, let alone ones I'd want to...

I guess. You've said that we have to interact more, but I've been having so much trouble just finding people I might want to date. IRL or online, it's really just an empty void. I've been trying so hard to find ways to expand my opportunities, but they all resulted in the same thing happening over a...

So I'm doing everything right, and these are just the best I'm going to get. Great

I guess you can see why I'm not interested in girls anymore. Because I feel like they don't want me back, so what's the point?

"You've actually gone to the majority of places I'd suggest, and I encourage you to keep doing that" That doesn't make me feel all that better, to be honest. These places have not been a good place for meeting girls at all. I get that I need to be patient, but if it's taking me several yea...

I guess. I think so You said to engage them in things like flirtations and sexual/affectionate ways. I've been trying to find ways to practice flirting (sometimes I feel like I understand nothing about it. Or how normal compliments and teasing differs from flirty ones. A lot of the stuff I find onli...

I guess my phrasing of "not having a lot in the physical attraction department" was poorly worded. I was fully aware others would find that attractive, just not me specifically. The phrasing on that was poor and I apologize As for your question, I'm honestly not sure. I know I didn't reall...

Look, I don't know how the hell to explain this gently so I'm just going to put it all out there I've spent a long time trying to find someone that I was attracted to or find ways to locate someone that I would be attracted to. But I've been to several geek related events for games and anime, and th...

To be honest, my friends aren't really of much help. I'm still kind of working on making friends too. I have one friend I met freshman year but they live off campus now, and they say they haven't tried dating in a long time. My sophomore year was kind of taken from me due to Covid. I only have two &...

When I say it's whittled down my ability to feel affection, it's only in respect to romance and potential partners. I still enjoy the company of friends, family, and animals As for working on myself, I've been doing good so far on things like grades, though this isn't really a new thing for me (Well...

I'm a 22 year old male who never had any dating experience, and tried desperately to get that to change. For the past year, I was bitter about not being able to find any girls that I was really interested in despite being confirmed by others to have reasonable standards. I was frustrated by the fact...

"At least your friends have dating experience. At least, they feel like they have a chance. Me, I'm never given even ONE. I'm 21 approaching 22 yet I'm still a virgin, I've got no dating experience, no dating skills that I can acquire other than being my "shy, quirky and sweet" self, ...

I'm just done. I'm just going to accept it. I'll never find a girlfriend. I'll always be a virgin. I'll never know what it feels like to be loved I've been on dating sites, no one ever talks to me. I've tried in person, now that's impossible. All of this has caused me more strife and loneliness than...

I've rarely been getting on dating apps nowadays so I'm beginning to wonder if this is something I even want anymore. I rarely ever feel affection towards anyone. I can't even remember the last time I did. I feel like some part of me is telling me this is something I want but now I just don't know a...

I think I figured out why I want a girlfriend so bad. It's because I've never known what it feels like. To have someone flirt with me. To touched and cuddled. To have someone jump from behind and give me a huge hug. I just want to know what it feels like to be close to someone and to be loved. It fe...

I'm a shy, awkward guy with anxiety and autism. I have absolutely no idea how to flirt and only a vague idea of what he wants from a partner. If some girl flirted with me, I wouldn't know how to respond so I'd either bumble like an idiot or sit there silently. I know that most girls do not find that...

This quarantine really sucks, but at the same time, it's given me a long time to reflect. On what virginity is, what it means to lose it and what it even means to have sex in general. Like what's the point of it all and existential stuff like that, you know? I've been told plenty of times that the o...

I've been debating for a long time whether to lose my virginity to a stranger or just wait to give it to someone "special". There are a lot of complicated factors that are influencing my hesitation. On the one hand, apparently, virgin men are not attractive. I read online that girls tend t...

It's not that special. She just has tons experience dealing with autistic offspring. She knew that I just needed a little context

A few months ago, I posted a "topic" where I basically screamed into the void about my frustrations of never having a girlfriend and the struggle of finding one. I didn't mean anything by it and only did it as a way to release 3 years worth of pent up frustrations in a way that wouldn't ha...

Is there any way that I can meet these gamer girls in person? I feel like it would make things a hell of a lot easier

As someone on the spectrum, I have very limited interests. Those interests include video games, anime, and drawing stuff from both. That being said, I feel that I'll have a much easier time talking to girls who have those same interests. The problem is I know gamer girls take extra steps to make sur...

Well, no, of course not. Everyone has their own level of sexual boundaries, I understand that. Now that I think about it, I guess I'm probably not asking the right question here. I guess it's just that I often imagine myself getting and acting flustered in front of someone I like. I often hear that ...
