How *not* to feel pathetic?
I have a confession. I'm almost 28 years old, and...
well, here goes...
I have never kissed a girl.
No, I'm not a loser, I'm a really nice guy, and according to every female friend I've ever asked on a date, I'll "make some girl very happy". Funny how a girl will always say that, and then she won't let me make *her* "very happy".
So, just now, I'm trying very hard to get out of the cycle of negative thoughts. It doesn't help that all my friends have had at least one girlfriend, and that they like to talk about things they do with their girlfriends all the time. I guess I'm just supposed to sit there and smile while they go on about things I've never experienced and possibly never will, I don't know.
What the heck am I supposed to do when they go on about these things?
Sometimes, a friend will find out that I've never had a girlfriend, and they'll ask me, "Why not?"
How in the heck am I to answer that? I don't know why not! Certainly not by choice, that's for sure!
Well, here's the thing: I want to feel better, just relax, and stop spending so much time worrying about this. Next time I'm out with my friends, though, the conversation will, without much doubt, shift to these topics again, and I'll be reminded about what all my friends have (or have had) and I don't (and never have).
How do I deal with it? What do I do when my friends talk about their present and past girlfriends? How am I supposed to stay positive?
