I am a third year college student at a local university in VA. I am turing 21 in the next and i have never had any type of romantic relationship ever. in high school, none of the guys ever seemed interested in me, and now in college the same is happening. I am a really social person here on campus. I go to campus parties almost every weekend, and I do meet alot of new people. But no guys ave ever persued me. To be honest, i am a decently attractive girl . But the guys i do like, never seem to like me back.
I am not even looking for anything long term either. I will literally take whatever is given to me, but i don't want to lower my standards to get a guy to notice me. This really confuses me, it makes me feel that something is wrong with me. |

Hi, Misery, welcome to PsychCentral (PC). I was like that, went to the University of Maryland (graduated in 1972 :-)
When you say you don't want to lower your standards, what are you thinking/imagining? How are your standards different from what you see around you? What sort of guy attracts you? Do you ever suggest doing something with one of them, let them know at all you're interested? You may be perceived as not interested, because you're less vocal or something. I'd set up a test of some sort. Think of some activity in the future and at a party before then, if you meet someone you might like, ask them are they going to that activity or could you tag along with they and their friends, etc. Do you have some girlfriends who have boyfriends? Maybe someone could set you up with someone? Think of a couple simple ways you could get invited to something (instead of just going on your own?). I wouldn't worry about your Self, relationships take practice like anything else. If you haven't had practice, you're not going to be great at it right out of the box? You have to learn and get comfortable with it is all. You have all the "equipment" I imagine, there's nothing wrong with you. Figure out a plan to get some experience and, over time, it will get easier.

Lots of people don't have a relationship by the time they're 21. I know it doesnt seem like it... but it's true. I got into my first relationship when I was 20, one of my best friends still doesn't have one and she's a month away from being 21 (with no possible bf in sight).

I am from Va, Richmond actually, and I didnt have a serious relationship until I was 19. I was with the same woman/girl for 5 years. I married and now I'm divorcing.
I was down about how all my friends had girls when we hung out and stuff and I felt really good that I had a wife at a young age and I was mature enough to handle it. Are you just looking for a guy to hang out with? a bf? what? I've hung out with girls before when I was in HS before I had a gf. Didn't consider it dating, but I guess it was. I was just out to have fun and enjoy my time with them. Think of it this way, if you are not with somebody, more money you can spend on yourself. Girlfriends are really expensive ![]() |
