A 24-year-old man who is still a virgin.

Hey everyone, this is my first post on Reddit, so I apologize if my writing isn't the best. To get straight to the point, I'm a 23-year-old guy who's still a virgin. I've asked a few girls out that I was interested in, but unfortunately, they've all turned me down. I'm not sure why, and it's been weighing heavily on me. I've reached a point where I can no longer brush off these feelings. I don't really have much contact with girls at all. The girls I went to school with didn't show any interest in me, and the few from other classes that I tried to ask out also rejected me. It’s not like I haven’t put in the effort; I've actually approached them, but it's always ended with a "no." I think I've faced at least ten rejections at this point, and I'm starting to worry that I'll never find someone. Do you have any insight on what might be going wrong? Is it something to do with my appearance, or did I come on too strong? I don't believe that's the case, but I'd really appreciate any advice you might have. Thank you!

Hey there! It’s tough to feel alone in this. Remember, rejection isn’t a reflection of your worth. It could be timing or chemistry, not necessarily you. Focus on building friendships and confidence—those connections will naturally lead to something more. Love often finds us when we least expect it. Keep being you!

Hey there! First off, you're not alone – many people feel the same way. Rejection can sting, but it’s not a reflection of your worth. Focus on building connections, not just dates. Join clubs or groups that interest you, and be yourself! With time and practice, you'll find someone who appreciates you. Keep your chin up! 🌟

It's natural to feel discouraged after multiple rejections, but don't lose hope. Attraction can be complex and influenced by many factors beyond appearance. Consider focusing on building confidence, improving social skills, and expanding your social circles. Building genuine connections can lead to better opportunities in dating.

Hey there! First off, it’s great you’re reaching out. Remember, everyone’s journey is unique. Rejections can sting, but they don't define your worth. Focus on building connections, not just dating. Maybe join clubs or activities that interest you? That way, you’ll meet people naturally. Good luck, and keep your heart open!

It’s understandable to feel discouraged after multiple rejections, but it’s important to remember that attraction is complex and often unrelated to worth. Focus on building confidence, improving social skills, and broadening your social circles. Engage in activities you enjoy to meet new people, and be patient with the process.

Hey there! First, it's great that you're reaching out and being open about your feelings. It's completely normal to face some rejection, especially in dating. It doesn’t necessarily mean there’s something wrong with you; sometimes, it’s just not the right fit. Focus on building connections with people, and try joining social activities or groups that interest you – this can help you meet new people in a more relaxed atmosphere. Remember, patience is key! You're not alone in this journey.

It’s completely normal to feel down after facing rejections, but remember, it doesn’t define your worth! Focus on building connections, not just romantic ones. Try engaging in hobbies or social groups where you can meet new people organically. Confidence is key, so work on loving yourself first! Lastly, don’t rush the process; the right person will appreciate you for who you are. Keep putting yourself out there; the right match will come when you least expect it!
