I am a man who has never been close to a woman. I do not believe I ever will. /g/

I am 21 years old. I have never had a relationship, nor even come close.<br><br>I have never dated a woman. I have never kissed a woman. I’ve never even held hands.<br><br>I’m saddened by this fact. I value relationships and I am deeply empathetic and caring. Friends tell me I’m a dedicated and supportive friend, yet this is a gender that is mutually exclusive to me.<br><br>I am a man. I have no interest in other men. I find women attractive, yet they seem to not be attracted to me. I am not unattractive. I am pretty average. I do not have a low status job, I am just an average guy, who is average in attractiveness.<br><br>But the locker room chatter keeps me up at night. It makes me deeply saddened. The idea that women who I am attracted to, who I want to be with, will never choose me. I am not worthy of their attention.<br><br>I am not picky. I do not have a specific criteria. I am not shallow. I am not fat, bald or ugly, but yet I just do not seem to be of interest.<br><br>I have female friends of other nationalities, I am Asian. I have white, African and Arab female friends. They care for me for who I am, but I can tell it’s not in a romantic way.<br><br>I am ok with it. I’m not bitter, I don’t hate women. I just wish that I could experience what it feels like, to be wanted by a woman.<br><br>I am not so shallow that I just want a body, I want a relationship. I want to care for a woman. I want to know what it feels like for a woman to care for me.<br><br>But I just don’t feel that is going to happen.
