You aren't neither dating nor asking them out nor even talking to them so you can't possibly know if they are ruling you out.

Your only road blocks are your distorted perception of reality and your inability to form connections with people. That could only improve with professional help. Posting same excuses on and on will not help you at all.

That road block is in your head. You're putting your thoughts into someone else's mind. You can't know that without asking someone out. Even then, if they turn you down they're unlikely to say why, so you would be assuming it's age when perhaps it isn't. You have no way to know.

OK I'll bite. Let's say that you did ask out a couple of girls and you were rejected for your lack of dating experience. Just because one person or two rejected you does not mean that they are representative of ALL women. It's likely that you haven't met the right person.

My point is that you don't know for a fact that every girl you are interested in will not date you due to this perceived road block.

The truth is when you ask someone out you run the risk of rejection. Don't assume that you know what every girl will say, because you will be setting yourself up for failure.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
