I have never been in a relationship I have been in love with someone before but never had a woman love me or even want to be with me I don't understand how this can happen I ask myself every day why I'm a good guy and I have friends and family and they are supportive but the truth is no one knows what I'm going through

I understand your position. It is hard to understand how others understand us. We do have family as to friends but we still remain with that empty spot. It is difficult at times to fulfill that spot. We know who we are but it seems that others do not. Be strong and patient when it get to others trying to understand you.

Hi Normal42, loneliness can be felt even with people who are in a

relationship. I'm sure you are a good guy, it's just that the right woman

for you has not come along yet. I'm a believer that when the time is

right, without any notice, it will happen for you. Forever love.

Stay positive my friend. :) xx

So... I'M the one that has to say this? - sigh - Alright, so here's the deal. If you're living and presenting yourself as "the nice guy", you have already lost. The cruel reality is that most "nice guys" are cheerfully dismissed at best, or used and abused at worst. Even IF you are legitimately a "nice guy" NEVER own up to that. Cold and aloof works better, counter intuative, I know.

Naughty! - slaps hand - No! A number of things can be considered unattractive, and seeming melodramatic is one of them. You don't have to be born confident; no one is, but confidence IS something that can be worked on, or at least faked with enough practice. You have a supportive family and friend network, if memory serves; this is an asset a lot of people DON'T have. Speak to couples you know and ask the question, "How did you two meet?" Most of the time, these stories are highly entertaining, normally varied but, most importantly, inciteful. You're NOT LOST; you simply have some homework to do.

Norman. What effort do you make to meet people. R u on a good dating web site. Do you go out a lot , to say hello to people in cafes, bars or social clubs to meet people.

You have to go looking and make your self available!

There is a love for you. Just go out to find it. Good luck.

Yes I have been on almost all of the dating sites paid for some I have meet one woman in all the years we met it went good we talked hung out for like 5 hours but after that she said she didn't want a relationship I go out not all the time but it's hard to keep trying with no results I know the problem is confidence but I can't build confidence from no everytime
