writes: Hello, DearCupid! I need opinions/advice. As the title states, I'm 24 years old and have never had a girlfriend. I've never even held hands or gone on a date, and no girl has ever shown the slightest interest in me.I'm not exactly handsome in any way, just average, I suppose. The thing that bugs me, though, is that I don't look 24. I can pass for 16 or 17. I have a small frame and I'm not really that tall. Some would say that I'm going to enjoy my youthful looks later down the years, which is true, it'll be sorta nice, but I think it'll hurt my chances of ever being in a relationship with women my age and older. I know if I ever tried going bars/parties to talk to girls it will end in failure since they won't take me seriously (I don't go to them, anyway..not my thing).I also have a somewhat dorky/quiet personality, so couple that with my appearance and I end up giving off a 'little brother' vibe. It's not like I look like a little kid or anything, I mean, I wear jeans, sometimes cargo pants, and regular shirts (and the occasional band shirt), and my hair is short. For the most part, never having had a girlfriend doesn't bother me much, but I gotta admit, every now and then it'll bum me out late at night thinking about it. Or when I go to the theater and see couples there. Any opinions/advice from girls on this? Guys are welcome to contribute, too.

Please, have more confidence in yourself. You have a lot to offer and you need to make that clear to any woman you are interested in.
You should do things that are not in your nature, see what happens. You never know, it may work out great for you! You may end up meeting a very nice girl! :)
I wish you the very best!

You sound like someone who is fairly smart. Are you going to college? Once you have a degree and a good job (or even while you are in school) you shouldn't have to hard of a time finding a decent girl for a long term relationship. Most girls you would meet at parties or bars are probably a bad bet for anything other than a hookup.
