So I am in the midst of the most depressing cold spell I've experienced since my younger days. Haven't seen any action since I graduated college, which has been a year and a half. When I was in college, I had no problem hooking up with girls (go figure) fairly often and in variety. When I would go longer than a couple weeks I would start to feel weird and act different.

So obviously, after a year and a half things are really reaching new lows. I feel like I am scraping out the bottom of the barrel when it comes to confidence (only with women), which is weird because I feel like I am in better shape and take better care of myself than I ever did, I go to the gym regularly, I am very tall, my acne that was bugging me in college has mostly disappeared and I have a great job.

But when it comes to meeting women I am at a loss. I feel like girls are instantly turned off by me when I try to approach them, making me less and less likely to do so. I haven't been able to even get a girl in a one on one situation since college, I feel like every girl that I am interested in either has a boyfriend or has no desire in getting to know me. I'm having those weird thoughts that I used to have towards the end of being a virgin where when I see two goodlooking, happy people together I almost dislike them, and that really saddens me that I've reached this point, because I know it will only get worse.

Sorry for the wall of text, but has anyone else experienced this? I'm too ashamed of myself to mention this to anyone I know in person, and honestly, all my friends kind of assume I am good with girls, which makes this hurt even more. I've considered even getting a prostitute just so I remember what it feels like, but that would be cheating and I used to always say I like the hunt too much to consider it. The game is different outside of college so any pointers on meeting some girls in the "real world" are appreciated, as well as any stories that relate to the matter.

Cheers.
