Why does this have to be so hard? Do I not deserve somebody that I feel excited about meeting? Do I not deserve to be loved by someone that I love with equal intensity, and get butterflies in my stomach about?
Also, I know that appearances aren't everything, and there are many things I look for in a potential partner that matter more than looks, such as being a nice, moral person and having a common goal/vision in life. But looks still matter a lot. I'm done apologizing about it. I wish I could just have what others seem to have easily, who look like me and are my age.
I can never surmount this pattern of being interested in people who aren't interested in me, and vice versa. I've never even been in a relationship yet because of this. I've never been kissed or had sex even, and I'm 27 years old. I wish I knew what young teenage love would have been like, had there been a boy I liked who liked me back. All I've ever had is unrequited celebrity crushes instead. I feel more and more alone and weird compared to everybody else.

One thing I can say about this is that while you do deserve to be with someone you're attracted to, don't make the mistake of being too picky. Don't constantly compare every person who comes along to some idea of what they should be like or you will keep seeing flaws in those people that probably are really not even there to begin with. Give people a chance. Don't rush into things but, don't beat around the bush or drag your feet either. A wise musician once said "Loneliness is such a drag." Don't become so picky that you end up never having known anyone that you'd like to know. Instead of looking for flaws, look for good things in people. Look for the things that really matter.
