Hey everyone, this is my first post on this sub. To summarize about myself -

I am a 22 year old living in India. I am a virgin and have never had a girlfriend.

But I have flirted a lot with many girls and have sometimes received positive responses from them. But it's temporary.

Because when they asked me about my previous relationships - how was my previous girlfriend etc - I told them the truth - that I did not have any.

When pressed for a reason, I would reply that the girl I was trying to woo wasn't interested in me.

Some girls would sympathize with me and I would be "friendzoned" - one girl even had the guts to say that I would find someone who would really love me for who I am. Whereas some girls would ignore me altogether after that Q&A.

My question is, what should be my answer when a girl I am interested in asks me, "how was your ex?" or something along those lines? Should I lie? Should I tell the truth? If I tell her the truth, how should I answer it so that she is still interested in me? Or should I just ignore this question and not respond at all?

Or should I just stop seeking her attention at all?
