I’m 19, almost 20, and I’ve never been in a relationship. Like a steady romantic relationship. It’s something I’ve always wanted to at least try to be in. I just want someone who I can text whenever and be able to be held in their arms. It’s stupid I know but I feel so unloved most of the time. I just want one person to be able to show me they love me. And I don’t see this happening in the near future which tends to hurt me. I always keep thinking “at least I have my fuckbuddy” but I don’t want to keep thinking that. I think that only because it keeps me going that “oh hey at least I have this one guy who thinks I’m attractive enough to sleep with me” but I don’t want that. I want a real relationship and there’s just mornings like this when the night before that guy doesn’t answer his phone and it’s just like “what did I do wrong?” But I didn’t do anything wrong they just don’t feel like having sex with me that night or they’re too busy. And then there’s this other guy I like, who we flirt constantly at work but when I even try to bring up hanging out outside of work he either rejects it or doesn’t give me an answer. And i just can’t handle this anymore. I can’t handle myself telling me “at least I have this” I don’t want to “at least” have something. I want to have something. I want to have something real. Not an “at least.” And now I’m sitting here at work almost crying because I just can’t handle this bullshit in my life anymore.

I was gonna say at least u have a f buddy but u don’t want to hear that lol.Are you sociable maybe u should try n go out to a club I’m sure a guy would talk to u and maybe ull get a relationship.A lot of girls expect guys to do the moves when they are shy sometimes even more shy than women.Just go ask a guy if he would like to go ear or have coffe don’t ask for number or they’ll just think u want sex sadly.
I don’t think you’re looking for someone else I think you’re looking for yourself. I don’t think external love can fill the hole that you are seeking to fill. Do you have self-love, enough to know you deserve better? Idk just my thoughts.
The love of a nice guy/girl/wombat is a wonderful thing. Once I found out how nice relationships could be I was willing to do anything; bathe, shave, act nice, juggle, pay my car insurance, etc & etc. The real key to attracting a suitable mate required loving myself. I’m not talking about a deep enduring love for myself, just a little love for myself – not beating myself up, not assuming every comment is a threat/crisis/insult, doing the little day to day things that keep my life running smoothly. Doing the little love things for myself gave me confidence and self-worth. Viola! Instant aphrodisiac.
Yeah, it took a while. Sure, I had some bad/sick/dumb relationships from time to time. But, generally, it kept getting better.
Relationships take time, not only to find, but to grow and mature as well. They also take a lot of patience at times. Don’t beat yourself up over the fact that you haven’t been in one yet. I also recommend not rushing into a relationship unless you are absolutely sure you are ready.
I am around your age ( a little older), and I have yet to be in a actual relationship with a real person (two online ones that I regret, the one relationship I did have with a real person who lived in the same place as me was through text and phone, with one brief date, then I barely heard from her after I broke it off), so I can relate.
It’s always a good idea to establish an identity for yourself before going after someone else. SeeSmith makes a good point about loving yourself enough first as well.
You have lots of time to find the right person for you, so no rush. I hope you find what you’re looking for. 🙂
I don’t get that thing about girls wanting to be held in arms. It’s weird.
I can relate in a certain way. But these “fuckbuddies” you’re talking about, to me, are just a distraction on my most admired woman. I am 19 and almost 20, too. I fell in love with a student 2 years ago in a college I went to. I barely knew/know her but I fell in love with her because she was so trusting, something almost non-existent in London. I really wished to be friends, at the very least to know who she was and (later on) give my mind some kind of proof that she isn’t something like what Dante thought of Beatrice: the perfect woman, the daughter of God/ goodness. She was willing to be friends at first, but her work seemed to get in the way, though every time I saw her in the library she was rather willing and quite open to the idea of hanging out as friends. I suppose she might not have had the time, or just didn’t want to make it for me. But that thorn in my head that I have buried in my mind so deeply just won’t come out. I believe she is perfect because of the certain interactions I had with her that I know for a fact nobody on Earth in this culture would behave as such unless they were some kind of angel in some inherent sense. And now I’m stuck with a great admiration and a great love for that kind of person, although it is that kind of person who had begun to ignore me once I sent a very small but crucial message because I felt that she didn’t _try_ to get close; this: “:'(” on Valentines Day haha it’s funny now but a really sad at the same time. I send a message or give her a call once in a long while with no reply at all. I do this because I really value her and she knows this in exactly what way because I told her and she was thankful of what I thought of her – I will never contact her like that again. Before ‘the end’ of our interactions I replied to her once “Whatever makes you happy” and she smiled a charged smile and moved like a pampered princess that I was pleased to see happy. Now I am not near her and cannot know who she truly is and am stuck with this idea of her that I am obsessed with – her goodness -, and I value in life goodness above all else. And until this night in the early morning I wish to die, because I am not having a successful and forgetful life and because I am painlessly dying inside because someone I love is still in my head and will not come to me as who she really is. The longing and admiration in my mind hurts and yet I feel a numb pain from it, one that I have no control over or can’t even cry about, as if it’s stoic in its own nature and platonic in its seed. Platonic for reasons already explained, also since any ordinary man will not be attracted in the least to a face such as hers, thank goodness. She’s probably studying Medicine since last year as she said she wanted to 2 years ago. I’m a jobless young man with a painful-to-bear mind who is studying for 2 different driving licenses and wants to go back to college this summer with no means to support myself with in that way. I found this website this early morning after trying to find ways and chemicals to kill myself with since the thought of her came back to me, alongside the question of whether she is now already with someone else and the hint of was she already? Yes, my admiration goes that deep, of course, why_HOW_ on Earth wouldn’t it? I will speak to a friend of mine in a town near here in around 6-9 hours if he’s around, he was there to chat when I got kicked out of my house by my mother so that she can let her brother continue to masturbate with his girlfriend on his phone in the house and sometimes in the same room I’m in. My father is the same kind of sub-human trash, he stole thousands from me and forced me to work in his restaurant with a deranged drug-user whilst threatening me with a raised fist until my ***** mother allowed me back – now don’t think that these scum make me want to die, quite the opposite in fact. Now, original commenter, sometimes you’ve got to know that what you have could be much better than what some people have, and that your problem in your mind can go away, by your will or by your time passing by; how am I supposed to get rid of someone who has been ingrained in my mind for 2 years and counting? The course I want to study in college is very similar to the one she is, too, to make matters worse. She – the idea of her – will never go away, my longing will never go away, probably because I let my mind think this way since it’s such a rare and beautiful thing, but I never meant for this to happen to me.
For the record, so many women in this city give me the look that they want me, but I really don’t want them. Isn’t that ironic? I am running away from all the women that some sub-human primate would want whilst I’m praying and walking around looking for a singular woman who not many would probably want with the lack of beauty accessories a woman for our time wears.
Every time I think about it I just want to cry but I can’t, so why not just die? There are so few wonderful people that I have known that are as or more nicer than Her. This idea I am in love with is the want my for my death.
