I just finished my freshman year of college (19M) and throughout this year I didn’t really get close to any girl romantically. I’m a virgin, never had a gf, never hookup, basically nothing. When me and my friends go to the bars, I see them talking to girls, having a good time, most of the time even going home with them. As briefly mentioned above it’s hard seeing all your boys doing so well in an area where you seem to be lacking. I’ve always been close to girls and been friends with them easily. Because of this many people have questioned my sexuality. And not like it’s a bad thing, but it makes me very conscious of the way that I act around people as to not give them the wrong idea. I guess my question is with the next school year coming up, what are feasible/practical steps I can take to start talking to girls more and really put myself out there.
