I'm also 31 and have never had a girlfriend. And yes, I feel sad sometimes, too.
But occasionally I realize that most women aren't interested in a sad and lonely guy, so I see what I can do to make myself more appealing. Then I try to follow through, and actually improve myself somehow. So the next time I'm interested in one I psyche myself up by thinking of my recent accomplishments, screw up my courage, and actually approach her. When she inevitably rejects me, I wonder why I even bother. And usually end up back at my first two sentences....
I know that it's demoralizing as hell when you've only known rejection (or worse, never taken the chance!), but letting yourself feel down about it doesn't help you out at all. And women
do pick up on it. So try not to blame yourself too much, try to enjoy the little things in life, and think instead that you haven't yet found a woman worthy of being your first girlfriend. Maybe it's not because you're hideously repulsive, but that you've yet to find someone who can handle just how awesome you truly are.
And yes, I still have hope. Despite losing my hair, hanging on to some extra weight, and still sharing a bedroom with my brother in my parents' house. I also have no car, no cell phone, and no job. Am I a fool for still believing that some day some woman will be glad to call me hers? Perhaps. But just let me have my fantasy for a few more hours at least....
And I apologize in advance if any of this seems a bit short or harsh. I've been up for 23 hours, and I'm a bit tired and cranky. Feel free to tell the ladies, though, if you think it might improve your chances.
