Hi, I am 20 years old and I have never had a guy be romantically interested in me. I understand that I am still young but I am concerned as I don't know what makes me so unappealing to men. I am not worried that I have not had a boyfriend or fallen in love yet, but I am worried that no one will ever like me.
When me and my friends are out, no guy approaches me, my friends always have guys texting them or flirting with them, however I seem to repel all men.
Lately, my family, friends, and even acquaintances ask if I have anyone in my life, and it seems like when I say no there is an assumption that there is something wrong with me. It has really gotten me down, and I now wonder whether it is to do with my appearance?
Hugs from:

Friends tend to be honest, if something was wrong with you they would most likely have already told you. You probably aren't ready (subconsciously), yet. You'll find someone you click with that makes you relax, and brings down your guard.

I disagree with the idea of not being ready. There's people all over the place that are not ready for a relationship, and they have several children.
There are also people not successful and not attractive, in relationships, with children.
Seems to have little to do with being in a relationship. Maybe with being in a successful and happy relationship, though.

To give the OP some thoughts, are you sure it is something that ought to happen automatically? Sure, it will to some. But to everyone? What have you consciously tried that has failed?

You say your friends get approached, but not you, so you are putting yourself in a situation where you can be approached.
Are you sure you have traits that make you unappealing and doing something to repel them? As opposed to not doing anything to be appealing and not doing something to attract?

Yeah, looks are important if you are female. If you are male and you are going to approach a complete stranger, why not try your luck with a top 10% good looking girl? Don't expect strangers to approach you when you are average, or below or above average. I mean, all a guy can go by, is your looks. There needs to be something about your look that makes him approach you. So it has to be style or attractiveness or something.
That said, a lot of guys won't approach strangers. Only a few will. And they will try a lot, fail a lot.

Not knowing anything about you except what you post here, I would look into your personality and/or how you present yourself to males. How much feminine energy do you project? What are you doing to be charming or interact with someone in a more special way?

Few males will fall in love with you when all you do is be in the same place at the same time. No matter how attractive you are.

Maybe it's just the particular cohort of friends that you go out with that are more extroverted (nothing wrong with that) and more flirty in the first place casting you in some kind of shadow.

I'm not too sure why people have to be so nosey as to ask if you have someone in your life; but you're right - it's an assumption on your behalf to think there's something wrong with you.

I don't think it's your appearance. You never heard of someone say someone not that pretty can appear as the most attractive person a room because of the confidence they portray and their personality?

I feel like no one likes me either. I don't understand. I cannot seem to meet anyone that is interested in me. Not even on the internet. I have no idea where or how to meet someone at this point.
