Hey Everyone,
I have been single since my ex girlfriend became a lesbian after years of denial! Been a few years now!
I have a big group of friends and I am the only single one out of the lot, I never meet anyone and when I do we are just "friends" or totally blow me off!
Cinema, Meals, Trips Out are always in couples. It has got to the point when I am really down about it as people now think that I am gay because I have been single for so long!
I have put some weight on and I have a stutter which makes things worse, also I am quite small for my age - only 5foot 5inches!
No girls never come up to me never but they do to my friends, im not really ugly or to die for attractive either but what is wrong with me. I'm a nice guy, like romantic things and I am training to be a nurse. All the girls think it is sweet and all of the girls I know are just friends.
Sorry to be on a downer but what am I doing wrong? Anybody got any advice?
Thanks,
BenE :)

Like cuddling up infront of fire, walking down the street holding hands, candlelight meals.
Most people find out and back off!

I didn't try to "get a girl" - I prayed that God would send the right woman for me to spend my life with. He sent me the most wonderful woman, and we've been married over 30 years. You say that you have "just friends" in the girls you know. Well, my wife was one of my best friends! One of those girls may be wishing you would spend more time with them.
As for your stuttering, visit the web site for The Stuttering Foundation of America at www.stutteringhelp.org as that is where several uncles and cousins of mine found help. All of them became more fluent by using the Foundation's book "Self Therapy for the Stutterer." Some libraries have it.
Relax and enjoy life. Let God give you all the blessings He has for you.

U know what BenE? I am a model and I hardly never get asked out! It's not about how you look! Maybe girls do like you, they just don't approach you because you have no confidence. The guys who are unconfident, or desperate , or too keen often get trampled on by girls. Show your humour, your confidence and girls will notice. It just doesnt mean that they will come up to you.
About your stutter and stuff... don't worry about that babe! Good girls.. not horrible shallow bitches.... will love that about you.. imperfections are beautiful. It make you you! Nice, down to earth girls (the ones you want!) love nerdier, sweeter boys. My boyfriend still wears Spiderman T-shirts!! Leave the shallow girls to go off with guys with muscles in tight t-shirts!!
You just work on your confidence.. I am 5"10 and hated it untill I was 20 (last yr!) but then stopped thinking i looked like a man and realised it wasn't important! lol
But seriously, please, don't look for love. It will only come your way when you are ready. Would you really make a good boyfriend having no confidence? No! It would create insecurity! You will meet an amazing girl when you realise you're special and that you don't need a Girlfriend, you just want one.
Try joining a gym..... it releases amazing chemicals in your brain and you will instantly feel better about yourself. If you are embarrased, work out at home. You'll feel healthier and more confident in no time.. trust me! :O)

The same thing everyone else is doing wrong.
Trying too hard.
Clear you head and be your own person. Get confident stupid. (sorry bad joke).
Women dont want a winey wreck wondering constantly why they cant score.
Forget about a relationship. Make you and your life attractive. Treat every social situation like you are already married.
Then you wont be firing out the PLEASSSSEEEE LOVE MEEEEEEE signals.
Women are put of by needy. Radiate modjo instead.

Enjoy the single life! Be glad you dont have to go through stress in relationships now. You will eventually get a girl. You probably arent meeting the right girls, which is why you havent got a gf yet. Or maybe you arent being confident of yourself or something...

when i split with my ex (he left me for someone else) i had no confidence at all.i couldn't do anything without the approval or back up of someone else. i used to leave nights out early cos i just couldn't face being surrounded by happy people when i felt like i couldn't join in. i remember a disastrous shopping trip with a friend when i was that low and lacking in confidence i couldn't make a decision cos i doubted myself that much.
its been 2.5 years since we split and i'm a million times better than i was. l was the same as you, surrounded by couples and happy families. my saving grace was my friends. i have a fabulous circle of close female friends who really helped me build myself back up. also in the last 6 months or so there have been a few new faces (male and female) joined our crowd, each bringing a couple more friends. so its good that i am meeting more people in a really easy way.
persevere but try to widen your social circle (maybe go out with people from work) it may do you good to see new people who don't know about your previous girlfriend.

the secret to the confidence part is easy just look in mirror every day laugh at yourself pull funny faces start to love yourself more and confidence will grow
as for being single be happy just accept it there loads people single
maybe if you lucky one day someone might just come along
i wouldnt go looking for it or start feel down about it BE HAPPY !
just think all those married men that cant even get night out with mates cause there woman dont let them lol
being single has advantages start to focus on them

you sound like a really sweet guy! the only thing i think you're doing wrong is that you are not venturing outside of your circle of friends... live it up a little! meet new girls somewhere other than through your friends. hope i helped!

Your question says it all-no confidence.
When you accept yourself and stop believing that you are doing 'something wrong' you will flourish.
I like the word 'yet'. A small word but an important one:
'I don't have a girlfriend...yet'
Take it easy. Namaste.
