And I have never been on a date. I have never kissed or been with a girl. I feel like life is passing me by. I have my share of psychological problems (depression, lousy childhood, etc...) but I am starting to feel like it will never happen for me.

I have had female friends (even though I haven't spoken to them in a while) but it never became romantic. Sometimes I realize after the fact that it COULD have, but I never took the chance. Recently a girl I took a class with was into me to the point where she basically stalked me, but I just had no idea how to respond.

My biggest fear is being alone. I don't like the idea of being a 30 or 40 year old virgin. I'm not one of those people with strange sexual hang ups or who thinks sex is "dirty." So what is my problem? How can I change things? I'm naturally a little shy and I think I might have a bit of social anxiety. I am going to see a therapist soon, hopefully.

Any advice, from anyone, on any of the above?
