Yeah, but when you've never stood on grass at all, its kinda hard to look at things that way.
I love it, I found this thread on a google search, then when I was wishing it was still valid, I went to the last page and it is!. It's been going since 2005!?. Anyway, I'm 31, and never had a girlfriend. I live at home still also. Reading through this thread has been like seeing my life written out before me. It's great to see I'm not the only ****ed-up loser, lol. It's not like I've never picked up a girl, or had one want to be with me, I just always seem to sabotage things on purpose, without really wanting to. Sub-consciously I obviously don't want one, but consciously I really do. It's just great to see I'm not alone
Exactly how I feel... It would be nice to be given the chance to experience having a girlfriend and all the romance that goes with it, so that I can have an honest opinion of my own... Funny how allot of the people say that being married and having a romantic relationship isn't all that it's cracked up to be.... But I still would like to be able to experience this for my self.
How one 'sabotages' the potential relationship?

Good question, I don't know exactly, I suppose I just find ways to not go any further with the girl. I tend to clam up and act weird, and not return calls or go out of my way to chase them etc, when I know I should at least try, then I just end up kicking myself and hating myself even more . That's me anyway, I'd be curious to hear other peoples opinions/experiences too
I think I look up excuses or things that I do not like about the women and then
obsess about that and think negatively, SA kicks in, anxiety kicks in and then
I cannot get out of that thinking pattern and that is what I am expecting which in the end just makes it all bad.
A girl I was crazy about a while back said I am too negative. I think back now and she was completely right. I guess I sabotaged my chances with her also
I am staring to think that I am a cowardly fool sometimes and SA is what I have
to thank for that!
yepp, story of my life. i was always told im negative, abrasive, hostile. i just wish i could get into your mind set of thinking negatively about the person to forget about them...cuz im usually the same, i think of all the cons about that person & try to not get too close, but then when he leaves me [& they always do, cuz of my fkn SA], i obsess over the guy... yet ik that its my own damn self-destruction that makes all my relationships go down the crapper
I've never had anything. I'm just very depressed today, and need to get this off my chest. I'm 27, still a virgin and it looks like I'm going to die that way. Single, lonely and terribly miserable.
Getting close to people has always been tough for me too - especially since I've been burned by people I supposedly thought I was close with and basically overlooked by everyone else. I really wonder what it is I'm missing that I can't seem to grasp.
Self-destructive is another word I have heard and it was in regards to me, related to that girl I mentioned.
I am going to sound like a kindergarten kid, at least you have had relationships.
I haven't had a single one.
Hey, I am really sorry to hear it. I am afraid of that actually. Given how I am withmy longest "relationship" was 2 months long. & it was controlling. & emotionally abusive. i stopped believing EVERYONE. & when i recently finally took a step into the normal world & against all my better judgement, decided to believe the guy, once again, i was controlled & emotionally abused. if you only knew how many times he told me that i'm not good enough, that i'm not normal, that i depress him & make him miserable, how he would be so much better off with someone else. i actually liked this a-hole. every single word was like a razor blade. i was miserable. its times like those that make me realize that even though at least i "had" it, it was worse than not having it. & it cant even be called a relationship when i simply cant handle intimacy of any kind, so people just leave. & that hurts a whole hell of a lot more than before i was alone. ::

Some of you others I know are in the same boat, however the difference seems to be that some of you, while never having been in a relationship, have at least had others show some sort of interest in you. I've not even had that.
I have tried everything to meet people. Internet, through friends, pubs/clubs, what more can I ****ing do?
I just can't wait for the day where I can die, and all this pain and suffering can just go away.
Another of my friends got engaged today. I was really excited for them, over the moon in fact. However, I felt bad at the same time. How I'm still single, and ALL my friends are either partnered or married/to be. Hell, some of them now even have kids. I mean, out of high school I am the ONLY person from 100 or so that were in my year, who's never been in a relationship. That speaks volumes about me, I feel. I seriously need to give up. So I will die alone, big deal.
****ing hell, I would seriously sell my soul just for one night - no.. even just for one hour - of what they have, and I don't mean sex. I just mean intimacy with another person, to have somebody to hold, to talk to, to watch them while they sleep.
**** this hurts too much.
