I am a mid 20s man. Despite nothing being wrong with me - I have a good education, above average paid job, downplaying a not so small apartment in a nice neighborhood, recently bought a car I feel like when women talk to me they are OK to talk as friends but they don't consider me a future partner. It's like they are so polite and say things like you will find someone yet it does not cross their mind remotely that it could be them. The neighbourhood where I live is pretty young populated and I see a lot of couples and I hear a lot of couples at night doing cardio. So I do get envious that I dont experience an important part of life, but somehow I can't accept it is only 50% dependent on me and if women don't like me I will never find love. How to accept it? How to not care when I see couples walking around town happy while I am single and want to be like them?

Can you answer the last question. I live in a young populated neighborhood and I see couples everywhere it is impossible to not feel a little envious and feel behind in life as I never had any relationship experience and they have had. Its like I am last in the race. I just want to experience a relationship for a week, to not sleep alone in bed for a week.

I am not overweight (20 BMI) and European.

If I have to be 100% honest the real reason I want a relationship is because I want to start a family and the real deepest reason I want to start a family is because I want to be validated by a woman that I am good enough for her to choose me to start a family I know this is wrong but it all comes from my insecurity that I will not be chosen as fit enough and all the knowledge I have acquired and expect to acquire will not be passed down to anyone close to me (with whom I have a connection to). I might try to get into becoming a part time lecturer at a university in the future but I really feel the want to pass on my knowledge to someone close to me. If I can somehow become secure that sooner or later I will be chosen by someone I will feel so much better.
