I guess there are a few reasons, albeit not complete, that I can think of:
1. I've been in chronic pain since I was 16, hence no job and no money since I can't work. Though I'm going to apply for a job at the bank tomorrow since it's all sitting.
Not to mention it really limits me from going out anywhere before I'm all like "AH! My fucking spine hurts!" and hurt too much to walk.
2. I've always been self conscious about my body since I've had barely any muscle. But I've been working out pretty hardcore and feeling better about that now that I'm seeing results. Plus (you'll laugh at me for this) I have really hairy nipples, and barely anything else on my chest, and I don't think I've EVER been in a shirtless social situation (like a hottub) without somebody pointing it out and everybody joining in teasing me. I'll get that lazered whenever I can afford it, but it's made me SO self-conscious that I'll never go shirtless in public anymore.
and maybe the biggest one
3. I don't have a clue how to pick up girls. I don't know the pickup lines, I hate the thought of picking up strangers, and I always feel really nervous about letting someone know I'm interested in them for fear of rejection. I know I know "the worst they can say is no", but I always picture some horrified/disgusted reaction (logically, there's really no reason for this).
Personality wise I don't think there's too many problems. I'm relatively intelligent, I'd NEVER hit a girl, I'm always nice to people even when they're assholes to me (which usually results in us being cool again) because I know they're just dealing with some stuff of their own. I'm responsible, respectful, and definately have a future planned out.
So would anybody have any advice for me on getting out of this? keeping in mind I would want it to be someone I know and have it mean something, not pick up some random chick in a bar. I feel like such a weirdo, I must be the only person on earth who's never had sex at this age.
