When I can not figure out friend's feelings, I easily miss a chance. I can get easily discouraged, I give up after a year or so, and keep our relationship as friends.

I know there's a notion that it's shameful or pathetic for a guy to have no experience, but I say ignore people who think that.

It was said once I get a little older, more women my age will be looking for (stable) relationship. I don't think I got more popular in the last years. I don't know if others' expectations get lower over time.
I still blush when I have to face a nice woman, or when others are telling me a dirty joke.

I was born like this, I physically can not be more masculine for reasons, I accepted that. I am simple minded, yet it doesn't mean I can not overcomplicate things.
I don't really get why a man should behave like a man, or a woman should behave like a woman. Girls, women kindness affected me throughout my life, I'm always thinking about them as a potential talking partner. Physical attraction goes only after months I get to know them.

I don't want to overthink this, because it hurts. It does bother me, because I'm still in that illusion, that in a relationship physical touch is a secondary thing.
I'm still in the middle of your story, haven't finished reading yet. Surprisingly there are a few similar things happened throughout our life up to a certain stage, it's not just about relationships. But I had to make every decision myself, that's why one of my friends become my friend, she were searching for someone to rely on. ( I don't have her anymore )
