Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but I [22f] need help for my housemate [25m], we've lived together for a while and when we were still getting to know each other I found out he never had a girlfriend at first I laughed because this blew my mind then I saw how upset he was so obviously I stopped. Recently he revealed to me that it goes further than that his complete physical relationship with women was a kiss from a drunk girl in 2022. He completely broke down at this point telling me he felt like a failure and how his lack of a dating life every time he thinks of it ruins his day. I asked him if he was going to unalive himself (at this point he just looked and sounded completely miserable) he told me he thought about it a lot but can't because it would make his parents sad and that he doesn't want them to think he's a loser when they find out why. I asked him what he's tried to do with his dating he downloaded tinder got a photographer to take good photos for it and read a load of guides on setting up the profile, 4 years in he has had 28 likes. He the told me about his reddit account and the subreddits he visits trying to "fix himself". He said for a while building a life outside dating worked for him and he was feeling a bit better but it's only hiding the problem because now he has a good life but feels worse because he still can't date. After this I snooped through his phone and found his diary, it was a lot of the same stuff he was telling me. I am not sure what help you can give or if this was the right place but I'm going to post this on a couple subreddits to try and help him.

Thanks
