writes:I'm nineteen years old and I've never been in a romantic relationship. I've never even had a first kiss. I chalk it up to the fact that I'm frequently afflicted by social anxiety and have a depressive inclination. I always shy away from guys when they ask me out and try to avoid any setting that may put be in a social situation. I'd like to see a therapist and work on my issues but I don't have any medical insuranceand I can't afford the sessions on my own. I feel like I'm setting myself up for a unsatisfactory life-- I want to be able to pursue goals that will fulfill me as a person. I know if I remain the way I am, I won't be able to do that and I worry a lot. So, what do you guys think? Am I doomed for spinsterhood?

The fact that you're being asked out means that when you are ready you will be able to find someone, just when you're ready. You should just try to push yourself slowly into being more comfortable in social situations and you will begin to relax as you do it more and more.
