Hey reddit! I found this subreddit quite recently, and I guess it's the right place to ask for a little advice.

I'm 19 (starting the final high school year- thats the way it is in my country) and apart from a few(really few- like 2 or 3) dinners out or summer walks with girls, I've basically never had a girlfriend. And I'm ready to admit that it really is my 'fault'. But I haven't come here to cry about history, but for some advice for fresh start.

Although I'm sure that there might be other problems with me, I think I'm in this situation because I don't do stuff where/with whom I can meet new girls. Don't get me wrong, I do have great friends, I go out(occasionally, I guess I'm just not the person that needs to spend as much time as possible in bars and clubs), and I do have hobbies (photography, cycling, etc). I'm quite shy, but once I get to know the person, I think I can be fun and talk a lot, etc...

I think my problem is that when I go out, I go with a small and closed group of friends(maybe 6 or 7, all of them classmates). Again, these are my good friends, I enjoy every second of hanging out with them, but I'm talking about something different now. They're basically two couples + some non-singles(it's late, cannot come up with the right word, help me out ;p ), so for many other reasons, no potential partner in this group.

As I'm writing these lines of jibberjabber, I may have forgotten what I wanted to say, so I'd better wrap it up:)

I'm looking for someone to spend time with, to have someone to talk, to support her, and to have someone physically close. And I'm ready to admit it, I'm 19 and I dont know how. I guess I dont really care for just some random pick-up on a LMFAO-kinda disco, because of my personality, I dont think these girls dont care for me either. I'm not socially awkward(at least I hope so:) ), I go out with a small closed group, and I would like to meet new people- or to be straightforward, girl(s). I do read a lot here to 'go to the field', but I cannot help myself that going to a bar alone trying to talk to random girls, would in fact make me a bit awkward I think:)

If you can give me some advice, you have something to share (or just want to say hi), please do help me out by writing something:)

Thanks!
