I hate to break it to you Shadix but I believe that people like us just aren't suited for the relationship thing. I know where you're coming from; I'm extremely socially awkward and a hopeless romantic to boot. The one thing I've wanted the most since I was a kid is a great relationship with just one girl, a best friend and a lover. Someone to share my whole life with. I've always been "in love with love."
But I'm 30 years old now and I've been struggling to accept that it just isn't going to happen. Maybe you do "deserve" to have a girlfriend -- but life is not "fair and even." Anyone who tells you that we're all created equal is frankly lying to you for your benefit. Some of us simply aren't capable of achieving what we want most. Is it sad? Yes. Is it unfair? Of course. But it's also a fact of life.
So I'd suggest moving on. Find a hobby that you can devote yourself to in place of that girlfriend. It's a long and lonely road to acceptance -- I know, I've been walking it for years. But I think it's better than becoming bitter and growing to resent all women because they're not interested in you, or even all couples because they have what you can't. Just... let it go.
