There's lots of people who don't have anything eventful going on but I'm sure you have similar interests as other people.
Then when I get there nothing happens. I find myself socializing with women than men. I have never been good at making male friends. I dont know if its because i don't have the same interests as them or what. I think it has a lot to do with me missing out on all the socializing/mating/dating in my pre teen and teen years.

Nope, you're wrong. Let me share a little secret with you...when you're not trying so hard to look for someone, that's when you meet the guy. I'm saying this as a generalization, not directly towards you. Sometimes you just have to forget about scoping out the guys around you. Go to a museum and just admire the art. If someone strikes a convo with you, great! If not, then YOU try it. You see a nice looking guy and you like the artwork as well. You stand and look at the piece and just say, "Beautiful, isn't it?" or whatever would seem most appropriate. You don't even have to look at him. Just say something. If he walks away, oh well. What have you got to lose, right? You just have to come out of your shell a little

Men dont want to date women who are into the same things they are, trust me! Then you just get friend zoned. You're better off sticking to the girly stuff, its easier for men to comprehend then if you start talking west coast offense

But that's a start. You can make new friends and then that network opens up to another. it's ok to be shy and not have tons of interests with guys because there's probably a guy just like that. What size town do you live in? I know very small towns options are limited and everyone pretty much knows everyone. What would you think about moving to a big city? Sometimes you really do need to get away from a place.

I live in the city. It's just that I no longer have any friends(that like to go anywhere or do anything) which makes it hard to connect and meet people. Having a friend to tag a long makes me look less awkward. I dont want to go to some large social function by myself, it just makes me look antisocial

I don't have any good experiences with dating. My ex friend would try to hook me up with guys and they never liked me. I dont know if she did this on purpose but after awhile I stopped falling for it. I just walked away feeling even worse about myself than before

Sometimes those "friends" really aren't your friends. Don't let it get you down sweetie. There is someone out there and he's probably looking for you . It's just a matter of finding the right place. I don't know if you're into church but a lot of people meet at those kind of mixers. Laundromats, grocery stores. Just random places. You don't come off as the barfly so a bar or club may not be the right place to meet. It will happen. Focus on school...hang out at the library or bookstore. Lots of bookstores now have coffee shops in them. You just never know . I really feel for you because when I was younger, I was just like you. The quiet type. Not a ton of dates. As I got older I learned to appreciate myself and all my good qualities. I focused on school then got a job. When I wasn't looking for "him", that's when it happened.

For a girl, it is simple. Some girls have slept with over 250 guys in their 20s.
