My first boyfriend never wanted to be close to me and it made me feel unattractive and unwanted. I later found out he was gay. Boyfriend #2 was a virgin and he was like dating my brother. He would kiss me but that was it. I’m 25 and I still attract guys who have very little relationship experience. They seem to really like me and want to be in a relationship but are afraid to touch me. What is the point of asking for a relationship if you only want to have a friendship? Maybe guys like that just want to take it slow but it just seems cold to me. I am hurt by the lack of affection and I desire a more intimate relationship. I feel bad about this a lot. I feel very unattractive because my boyfriends wouldn’t touch me. Sometimes it ruins my confidence when I do meet new people. How can I overcome the feeling of failure with these non-relationships that I've had?
No offense to virgin guys, this is about wanting to feel special. I want someone to really care and be attracted to me.

I was with boyfriend #1 for 9 months and boyfriend #2 for a year. In both relationships I felt that things went wrong after about 6 months. Looking back on it, I didn't have that much in common with either of them. We had different interests. There was no romance but there was never a lot to talk about so there wasn't much of a friendship either. I am a shy geek myself so I don't approach guys and I really want one who is bold enough to do all the asking. I don't mind waiting for a great guy, I just don't want to waste any more time on guys who don't want to be with me!
My younger sister is always in a relationship and has been having sex since a very young age. I always compare myself to her because we're opposites. I feel lonely sometimes when I start to wonder if people like her are getting more enjoyment out of life.
