Anxiety

You're still young. There are plenty of people in the world that are 25 and haven't had a relationship. (I know quite a few guys from college who are pushing 30 who have yet to kiss a girl too).

>> So you,ve had ample opportunitities in the past i,m sure but you passed them up.

Actually, I didn't. There were no females in almost all of the classes I took, and the few that did, I never interacted with in any way. In fact, I maybe talked to a female 4 times in my entire 6 years in college, and none were anything but incidental. In any case, thats the past, and doesn't have any effect on my situation now. I haven't been in a position where I interact with a female in any meaningful way in years. If you can't call that not being in a situation where you can meet anyone, then I don't know what is. There are none at work (except one, who's already married, in any case I wouldn't date a co-worker anyways), and I don't engage in any other social interaction.

>> Scarcity of women was never my problem.

Well it is for me.

>> Until you decide to make every effort to fight this, your situation will not change. How could it? Not trying to sound harsh but thats reality. Coddling is not what you need. A wake-up call is!

I did not ask for coddling and I've been fighting my anxiety nearly my entire life. I've been doing exposure exercises for quite a few years now, so please don't say I'm not fighting this.

I'm 5 years behind you but in the same position relationship and anxiety-wise. But c'mon man, you can't give up hope.
