I'm a male in my mid 20's and I haven't gotten laid in a year pretty much. I've been in 4 relationships in my life but I was never the type of dude that does "plates" and such because I make too many damn excuses and I don't want to feel disappointed. Although I'm not a 10/10 really attractive dude, I do get checked out by women from time to time and I've been told by some women I'm a 7 - 8 / 10 . Unfortunately it's my "game" that makes me have a lower n count than a lot of men.

Here are some excuses I always make that make me not pursue:

  • She has a boyfriend.

  • She's probably talking to 10 guys now currently if she's single. She won't pick me out of all of them, what's the point in trying ?

These are just a few I can think of as of now. Are my excuses valid ? Should I just say "fuck it" and not give myself excuses ? The reason I have these excuses is because I don't want to waste my time trying to get laid/get into a relationship only to not be chosen by the women I've been talking to. I will also feel like shit if I get rejected.

Any advice, info, and input is appreciated!
