Hey guys.

I've been having this problem my entire life. I can't seem to become more than just a friend with ANY girl I meet. After talking for like 5 minutes with her I can already tell that she only wants a friendship with me, because there is no romantic indication or any kind of flirtation (even as time goes on for months afterwards and we meet regularly). I go immediately into what is known as the "friend-zone", she doesn't even seem to think twice about it, it's just instantaneous.

I've tried asking out women that I don't really know, seeing as I am not friends with them yet, but I've just been rejected by every single one. I did online dating too, but guess what, those girls just want to chat too! And, then I've still got to buy them a subscription just so that they can email me back.

I don't understand what is wrong with me. Why do ALL girls I ever meet think I just want to be friends? I am a MAN after all, why would a MAN want to be just friends with all the WOMEN he meets? And, why, when I'm clearly on an online dating site to try and get a girlfriend, do they think all I want to do is chat? If I just want friends, I'll go down to the local pub and get hammered with the guys there. The reason I talk to new girls or do online dating is because I'm looking for a girlfriend. I've got female friends that I've known my whole life and they are like sisters to me. I don't need any more, I need a girlfriend/wife.

It got so bad, that at the age of 23, I couldn't take it anymore. I'd never been touched or flirted with by a girl EVER, so I called an escort and she took my virginity. I am now a sex-addict! I've been "clean" for a few weeks now, but I just can't, for the life of me, seem to get a girlfriend the normal way. The prostitutes seem to be the only women on this planet that realize I'm a MAN and I need a sexual partner that is a WOMAN, I need intimacy and to fulfil my sexual needs. Everyone tells me the whole time that I have attractive facial features and the prostitutes keep asking me if my wife is going to find out, because an attractive guy like me MUST be married, surely. They don't even want to believe me when I say I'm single, and have been single my whole life. They say I speak rubbish, that's impossible, that I am a very desirable guy. They also say I am a very calm and cool-headed guy and that is incredibly irresistible to a woman because I am a confident guy that can handle things and that makes women feel secure and safe, and that is very desirable. Then why have I never had a girlfriend?

Sorry for the lengthy, well, rant I guess. I'm just so confused, depressed and feel like I'm wasting my time hanging around on this earth.
