Guys & Gals, Is having a girlfriend or boyfriend in life looked at as an accomplishment?

Whenever i see family members it seems to be the first question out of thier mouths, "Where's your girlfriend" It drives me fucking insane, Is being single these days some kind of crime? My own family makes me feel like some kind of outcast, It also makes me feel like an idiot because all the cousins on my mothers side have boyfriends/Girlfriends....Then there's me.

I have accepted the fact that i will probably be single for a long time to come, But it makes me not want to go and see family because i think they look at me differently from the rest of the family...Atleast they make it seem like they do.

I'm not the type of guy that will go to the bar and sweet talk a girl, It's almost like you have to pretend to be somebody that your not and tell a girl what she wants to hear just to be able to sit next to her and get to know her.

I rather be me and the girl be herself and just talk, But that doesn't work very well.

Nothing against any of the females here on TFP..I am not disrespecting any girl here or anywhere else, But so much is centered around girls that it can almost be intimidating, Like the Toronto Sun's Sunshinegirl (Newspaper) "If you want a shot at her" Like WTF is "if you want a shot at her" The media makes girls out to be some kind of Trophy for men, Which i think is very disrespectfull..to me anyways.

My teenage years were just like any normal teenager's was, I partied, I smoked, I drank and had sex with girlfriends..But it seemed like as soon as i hit 20 it all went downhill.

6 years later with no girl in my life, Family always asking when i'm gonna have a girlfriend and no motivation to be someone i'm not to impress a girl.

So i feel like i'm looked at as a failure to my family and friends.

Or am i just thinking to much & to hard?
