I have never had a girlfriend, and listening to all my friends ***** about their relationships has made me not want one at all. Most women hate me any way; I have only a few female friends.

No, because I don't swing that way.
But the answer would still be no if the question was "Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
This!

Well I think a girl I knew from year 12 may have the hots for me. See I took two girls to the prom because there were way more girls in our class and I was chosen to take two(Well not really,some girl I hated wanted to go with me so I quickly rushed to find one so I could already say I had two partners), when I asked one she said yes in a non caring way, and when we danced she didn't really care. But with the other girl, she smiled when I asked her and when she danced she gripped me hella tight.

I have only seen her lately at a shopping center the bus takes me after Uni, I know she works their cause I saw her wearing a juice shop uniform and she smiled and said Hi when she saw me before her mom picked her up.

I forgot what day I saw her but I've decided to try and meet up with her during one of her breaks to see if she really does like me

But I do have non-guy friends, but they are all internet based

Same here. :/
You got me beat by about 8 months though...
Likewise...

19, Never had a girlfriend...

Although I really was never looking for one in high school...

Damn, I hate being a statistic...
Don't worry about it. I'm 19 and I've never dated (but I'm a chick, which is almost worse!). I also know other girls, who are 19, and have never dated. I keep hoping that maybe with all this bad luck and waiting, that the first relationship I get will be the right one. I'm sure the same will go for you guys too.

I just think it's funny how all of the guys at my college are complaining about how they never get girls when a lot of girls I know are single and pretty willing to go out with almost any guy who asks. It's just funny to me.
The main reason I don't date is that I prefer personality and intellect over looks, which tends to make normal dating difficult. It essentially means that I have to get to know someone fairly well before I would even consider asking them out...

It's pretty much a Catch 22 unless we are introduced through a mutual friend or we work together in school...
Whoa! Most guys are the opposite, they take the "dude she's hot, I'd do her." approach (least the guys I know...). I can definitely respect that though. I'm sure once everyone gets older and more mature, it will be easier for you to find someone. I know with me it's been easier to find guy friends I have a potential with (some of them are pretty good lookin' too, along with an awesome personality). I think it's all about maturity and people are finally starting to grow up.

It'll come, Sakurazaki, it'll come...

Yeah... It's no wonder that every male stereotype involves us not using the correct brain for decision making...

It's just a shame that popular culture favors the beautiful and brain-dead. But then again, many girls find arrogance attractive and I fail to understand that either...
Too true, my friend, too true. I think it's all about image? People are concerned with being a "good looking couple." I must admit, I am too, but that won't stop me if I find someone I really like. Plus a lot of it is genetics. In the days of cavemen, the most attractive males/females probably had the best genes. It's only natural.

Either way, I don't understand finding arrogant guys attractive. They actually really annoy me.
I'm really not sure where that arrogant=attractive thing came from, but it may have something to do with making the person seem more confident. Personally, I find an arrogant personality (whether male or female) to either imply self-confidence issues or just a inflated ego. either way it's not attractive in the least...
I agree 100% with everything said. I can't stand obnoxious people. I live on a dorm floor with all obnoxious people. I know there's a difference, but not much of one. It's probably a little of both: self-confidence issues and an inflated ego. If that makes sense? I like people who are confident, but not arrogant.

Trust me: at the end of the day, girls aren't worth it. They are all just attracted to jerks and assholes. The only way for a nice guy to get a girl is after she has been hurt by said jerk and asshole bad enough for her to realize he is a jerk and/or asshole - nice guys will always be the second choice.

I met a guy at dance, who spent the entire time checking out all the girls, and we got to talking. He told me he had a girlfriend, but she wasn't as hot as some of the girls there. He told me he has had sex eleven times (he is sixteen), and when I called bullshit, he pulls out a phone and shows me a picture of a naked girl with her head out of frame and says that is his ex-girlfriend.

Other instance: my best friend has a girlfriend, and we got to talking. I asked if they were serious and he said no, and he would probably break up with her once he found someone better. I asked if she was aware of this, and he said no. I pointed out he shouldn't lead her on, and he said he was already doing it so why stop.

So tell me... what is the point of trying to find a girlfriend if girls just keep going after the jerks and assholes, and leaving the nice guys as their back ups?

Same...
Currently living in a dorm surrounded by 6 rude, loud, arrogant, and egotistical idiots. Not to mention that they always have insane sleep schedules so people are yelling in the halls and slamming doors at 2:00am. I usually ignore them for he most part, but its kind of sad that they fit the stereotype for the XBox Live Fanbase.

All six own and regularly play MW2 and Halo 3 Online (all 360s, no PS3s) and since I'm usually able to hear the cursing from across the hall, I know that they fit every stereotype in the book as far as online gaming is concerned.

Yup, I'm the same age and I've never really been in a relationship. With any luck, this'll change when I work up the courage to ask...

I find it interesting how this thread has gone on 12 pages in 3 days...people really care about this kind of thing don't they?

Sometimes i do wonder if pursuing relationships with the opposite sex is over-rated, but then again it's hard to deny that love and sex are not one of the more aspects to life, sitting alongside friends, family, wealth, health and freedom and maybe respect. Hell, i wish it wasn't because i'm not very good at pursuing relationships, i find it much easier to make friends with girls than go out with them, and wouldn't recognise a flirt if it hit me.

Also, it's not as easy to find a relationship in university as some of the younger people of the Escapist may think, this is because most people already have a boyfriend/girlfriend from 6th form college or high school, and when your an adult these are long term things- even if their boyfriend/girlfriend lives on the other side of the country they still hang onto them. It sure isn't high school anymore, remember that if you get university, because the customs are totally different.

So...i wish pursuing relationships were not important as they are in real life, but unfortuantly there is a huge biological/psychological as well as social drive to do just that. Meh, there is not avoiding it.


Anyhow, i've been in a relationship before when i was 17/18, lasted 18 months- the girl in question did most of the work, repeatadly ringing me and then asking me out. Kinda convinent really.

Dude, sorry, but smiling doesn't usually = 'having the hots for you.' If she really did, I think she'd have contacted you, doncha think? Just an observation. Good luck to you.

I resent this generalisation, having a nicest-guy-imaginable boyfriend- but also, I think that jerks and assholes are more confident/arrogant/obnoxious and are thus more likely to get out there and try to get a girl. Nice guys aren't usually forward and don't try as hard, and so they don't really get noticed as much.

EDIT: Yay for leaving out Escapist wimmins. D:
