By weird, well not many people in real life know this, but then I am 34 and I've never dated before...

I think in a sense this may make me sound bad, but then the cause of MI is not that severe compared to others here and in the real world. I have a good home, job, food to eat, clothes to wear, parents who love me, goals, etc. but then I feel this anchors me down.

The thing is, it's confusing to me. A lot of women tell me that I am a nice guy, and am respectful, and I tend to get more female friends/acquaintances/casual friends than anything else. I think this is conscious on my part, because as a teen I didn't date and even now I tend to make friends purposefully with women to compensate for that.

But then I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or even right. I am a bit overweight, and this can be a bar, but then I feel a bit lost. I also find much dating advice is not in tune with my personality and environment, especially stuff on Youtube or the Web in general. I've been thinking of getting a life coach or therapist, but I saw one in this regard and they were a bit hostile and kind of confusing. I know being a bit overweight can be a bar, but then they said it always is, which is weird since many bigger people get dates.

I sometimes feel as if I could go back in time to when I was 16 and tell myself then what I know now.

This is a ramble, and may not make sense immediately, and perhaps is too tl;dr. However, to suffice, I feel lost since I don't really know how to get a woman and it confuses/irks me.
