Carlos GMParticipantI’ve never had a girlfriend. I feel frustrated. Maybe it’s because I’m shy, too much of a regular guy or don’t go out at night too often. Are all of my ‘disadvantages’ strong enough to scare women away?

MarieParticipantCarlos, those aren’t bad qualities. Maybe you just have not found the right woman. They may hold you back a little from being more forward and going after what you want, but you will find that girl when the time is right.

DavidParticipantIt’s been years since I’ve had a date, much less a girlfriend. Being shy and less than good-looking certainly does seem to play a part when it comes to meeting someone, and yes it’s frustrating! I imagine you’ve heard girls say ‘I love nice guys, but I always seem to end up dating jerks’? You and I both know why that’s true: it’s because nice guys are too shy to make ourselves known and we don’t have the looks that a lot of jerks do. The best advice I can give you is the same sort of advice I’m using myself: Just let time and fate do their thing. I was completely off-guard when I discovered my first girlfriend and that made be a believer in fate.

CP19367ParticipantMy husband had never had a girlfriend before he met me five years ago when he was 23. You sound a lot like him. He is a quiet person, doesn’t like parties or bars, etc. So what? I’m the same. You have to meet women at the kind of place where you’re comfortable, whether that is a church group, in a chat room on the Internet, at some kind of an organization or club, in a class or somewhere else you feel comfortable and can let someone see ‘the real you.’ Don’t give up – you’re not abnormal. Just wait and see where life leads you. I am glad my husband never had a girlfriend before me. It makes me feel special that he chose me.

RejMemberDear Carlos, I agree with Sarah completely; your qualities are not bad at all. Some women like guys like you. I know you may be thinking I’m just talking BS because I’m so young, but trust me, I know what I’m talking about. I think you’re just paranoid. You shouldn’t think stuff like ‘I don’t have a girlfriend because I’m too shy or too regular.’ That’s not the way to go about it. I mean, it’s 2001. Women these days are hyper and wild and crazy (well, not all of them), and maybe you just need to find a girl who’s willing to go along with your shyness and regularity. Trust me, it’s bound to work out some day; besides, why even bother with having a girlfriend right now? You should finish school and get settled. Feel free to e-mail me. Take care and hang in there.

ColleenMemberI’ve been close to where you are now. I didn’t date at all in high school, nor the first two years of college. I was shy, had that strict Catholic upbringing and honestly wasn’t meeting anyone I wanted to date. After I turned 21 I was getting frustrated, too. I started dating guys I met through work – a date here, a date there. I met a guy I was serious about, got my heart broken, joined the military and met my husband. I knew right away that he was who I’d always been looking for. He’s a wonderful guy. We’ve been married 17 years. When the time is right, you will meet the right person. Try to enjoy and learn all you can while you are single so that you have more to bring to the relationship. You’re not the only one waiting.
