I was going out with a girl from when I was 16 until 20, after we broke up I found it really hard to go out chasing other women like my mates who didn't have girlfriends at that age. I've only had two one night stands since I broke up with my ex and never been out on a proper date with anyone else. I have got girl's numbers and been texting and I have met up on weekends with a couple of girls while out with mates, but nothing proper. There was one girl I really liked and she liked me but it didn't work out cos she got back with her ex (long story).Anyway I'm feeling really anxious, I'm not the type of person who is desperate to be with just anyone, but that could be a problem too. My ex was absolutley stunning and I feel that I have very high standards, but I'm too self conscious to try it on with the girls I do find attractive!I have to be completley drunk to talk to girls too. I'm not a bad looking guy and in really good shape and I've been told on many different occasions by random girls that I'm really good looking. This should make me confident and it does for a bit, but when the time comes to talk to girls or go up to one I doubt myself all the time. Some of my friends think I'm too much of a nice guy or summin and have said that they've noticed pretty girls dancing next to me and so on but I just don't do anything about it.Do you think it's a long time to be single? and is the fact I've only slept with 2 girls in the last 2 years weird? I'm starting to feel like theres something wrong with me!

i'm 22 and been single for nearly a year. i have liked it actually, there is nothing wrong in being single and young. early 20's is time for fun, sure some people find themselves in serious relationships and that's great. but one of my friends has been with her bf for 7 years and she is also 22. she always moans about him and wishes she could have the same fun as me and the other girls. so i say enjoy yourself! when someone comes along they come along. you can't force it to happen. you will meet someone special, just enjoy the single ride.
