That's good advice johnoo but it's easier said than done, For me at least anyway. I've always tried to tell myself not to care what anyone else thinks about me, and just be myself, but it just doesn't work. There's always a nagging feeling that every little thing i do will affect others opinions of me in a negative way. I've gotten a lot better in recent years, but its still there to some degree.

I beat you all - going on 21, one good friend, never even close to getting a gf. I have social phobia, so yeah. I can understand everything you guys are saying.

I'm even worse, 22 and never had a gf, nor even been close to a girl in my life. Sure, I've had girls I've liked over the years, but there's no way I could ever say anything, I get all flustered jes being around girls. If I even try to talk, I'll start stuttering and blush, it's so annoying.

Hey u guys are lucky. At least u had girls at ur school.
I went to a all boys boarding school. ( Parents put me there cos I never left the house)
So I had no women skills whatsoever. But I later realised that women are friendlier than men. So I find them much easier to talk to than talking to men.
Most women like men who are different. So being shy has a plus.
My sp is really anoying when i was around 14 id already had a thew girlfriends and was kind of a stud but then once i got sp and it got bad i cant even say hi it just sucks bigtime

Not really. Actually, I'm the virgin king baby ! 32 in a few weeks .
HA !
( I'm trying to brag about it instead of complain ! )
Well I'm a female (age 22) and I have only ever had one boyfriend, who I'm still with, I met him just after I left school. I was bullied alot at school for being a "geek".......*blush* (that is still embarrasing for me to admitt). I see all the "popular", confident, mouthy girls (who bullied me) still even today needless to say most have been young teenage Mothers and have kids to numerous Fathers.
In my experience I suffered greatly at school for being shy and anti-social with girls and mainly boys but I think it made me a better person in one respect.
You all seem like lovely guys/girls and I'm sure you'll meet someone special soon, just be patient.
ehe...i loved this girl since i was in grade 9 when i was back in high school and she loved me too...but i never got to tell my love.. ...u noe we never talked at all..but we got to know each other by comunicating with our eyes....cute eh? ....but that sucked...never realy got togher...

If you study body language you should be able to pick up on these things quite quickly. Sometimes someone who is interested in you, or at least interested in becoming your friend, will mirror you actions. By that I mean that if you place a hand on say the back of your head, then the other person does the same without thinking about it. There are lots of other things too. "Body Language" by Alan Pease, is a good book on the subject.
