I'll try to keep this short, starting with a bit about me. I'm a 24 year old male, average physique, average looks, and well paying career. I have long term goals in improving my life, such as continuing along my career path and to improve my physical condition further. Both of these goals are for myself and not to impress others. I wouldn't consider myself a shy person, but not exactly outgoing either. I have a few close friends but nothing more than that, so a lot of my time is spent alone. I have been single my whole life and subsequently I am a virgin as well.

Due to this prolonged time spent alone things like a relationship seem daunting and uninteresting to me. The thought of being intimate with someone seems unnatural and letting someone that close to me emotionally or even physically is a weird concept. I feel like even seeing someone of the opposite sex naked would be extremely uncomfortable to me and that I could never have a serious relationship with anybody.

So I guess what I'm getting at is, do I have any hope left, should I just embrace the rest of my life alone or is it possible to find someone who could understand my shortcomings?
