I am 25 and never had a date.....?

Question

I am 25. I never had a date.
I often like a girl but I am either to shy or afraid to talk to her into going out with me.
Is it normal to feel like this at my age?
If not, How can I make myself ask a girl?

Answer 1

Just ask. "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by sweat and blood, who if he fails, fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." --Teddy Roosevelt

Answer 2

Yeah, I suppose it's normal.
I'm not much older than you, and I still get nervous in asking girls out.
I guess the best advice I can give you is to not get hung up too much on the idea of rejection.
If you like a girl, ask her if she'd like to get together sometime, if not, so what? Brush it off like it's not a big deal ('cause it isn't), and move along. If yes, well then great, you've got a date.

Over-thinking and over-analyzing is self-destructive.
Dating should be fun. Be yourself, and try to relax.
Being nervous is fine, but don't let it cause you to lose a great opportunity.
If you don't ask a particular girl out, someone else likely will, and you'll be kicking yourself later.

So what...that does not make you a bad person,so i think it's just a "so what?",i think we shouldn't judge people...anyway...i'm a girl and i am sure i won't do the first step,cause..i dunno...shy i guess:P.....but just wanted to say it doesn't really matter HOW you ask her..really,i don't remember every detail at my date(and i'm thinking about the one that really meant smthg) and we ended up toghether and in love...tiz true,first date is the most hard,but do smthg...i know i will from now on,cause i realised that not doing smthg you can go pass one anotherand..:(..well if i am in your place it would be hard asking out someone,that's why i'm happy i'm a girl:P.....but anyway make it sweet and funny and subtle;)

Answer 4

I am 24years old and have never "had a date." There's lots of reasons why I have not had a date...

I asked a girl out about a month ago and it turned out she was a "no show." If I were in your shoes then I would do what feels right. If you do not feel right asking women out then do not do it.
Whether it is normal or not would not concern me.

I am proud to be abnormal. :)

Answer 5

25 and never had a date is not normal at all.

For a pathetic loser like you I would suggest that you just use the complete honesty method. Go up to your female friends (all of them-- old, young, fat, thin, pretty, ugly, whatever ) and tell them that you're desparate and would date anyone or anything with two x-chromosomes.
Of course, most will say "F'uck no" but a small percentage will say "yes"
Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Try a group date with some of your other friends who are currently coupled up.

Answer 7

Chances are you're neither attractive or charming, or the girls would've come to you by now. Make lots of money instead. That way girls will at least sleep with you for your money, even if they don't love you.

Answer 8

Oh, you poor baby! I am so sorry.
