I’m turning 23 (M) soon and I can’t help feeling embarrassed and sad bc I’ve never dated someone. By the time I got a little bit of confidence in college Covid hit, and I’ve pretty much been living at home with my parents for the past two years. All the friends I made don’t keep in contact. I’m seeing family soon and it’s really embarrassing to say once again that I’m not dating anyone at my age.

I’m a somewhat naturally unsocial person and have a minor physical disability as well. I’ve been on OLD for almost two years and have gotten a total of two dates during that time. Both girls ghosted me after one date. I can be social and enjoy having convos with girls but I can’t help feel my disability and looks are what ruin my chances. When with others I actively try to be positive and keep convos going bc I’ve been politely told a few times that I look dead or miserable lol. I try to put in effort with ppl but they seem to never want to reciprocate.

The only good thing going in my life is my job, but it’s 100% remote. I go out weekly for exercise (PT) and for my hobby, but there are no young women there. I also don’t live in a young ppl area in general. Every week is the exact same. I’ve never had a strong male role growing up and ppl never give me advice. There’s a lot holding me back and I often think I’ll never meet or be able to connect with someone.
