Hey, watch out, for this I only need just one "perfect" girl line of thinking. I have never had a girlfriend in my life b/c of undiagnosed/untreated Social Anxiety Disorder. I fell head over heels with a new friend of mine when she sat in my lap during a party. I wasnt to anxious around her because I considered her a friend and she had a boyfriend. But then she started to hit on me and saying that her BF was "more like a big brother", I managed to build up the courage (it took alot too) to ask her out, she stood me up but later acted like she didnt know. I fell for it, chatted with her online, helped her out, and even eventually took her out on a date. I look back now, and realize how much she abused my friendship and how ignorant I was of it b/c I thought she was "perfect" and the one I would marry. Turns out that she was alot, I say again ALOT more involved w/ her BF than she had stated. I was heart broken and became depressed. I eventually started to think that I would never be in love and became an alcoholic w/ suicidal thoughts. I didnt know what was wrong with me and thought I was the only one w/ my symptoms. But I found a test online, and discovered I had SAD and it opened my eyes. I could relate to most of the symptoms (aside from not being able to use public urinals) and have sought treatment.
I started taking Zoloft for depression but noticed I was far more talkative and less anxious. I am now talking to girls w/ little anxiety, and they talk and smile back. Its the first time in my life that I feel positive after talking to a female. Its only a matter of time before I start dating and get into relationship(s)- its pleural for a reason. Keep in mind that the odds of the "right" one will just fall in your lap is slim to none. Get treatment, sign up w/ personals, get involved in Coed clubs (especially Good Samaratan type clubs which has alot of HQ girls/guys ratio)
