Hey there, currently a 21M in college who is depressed about the lack of female attention I receive. To give some background info I’ve never had a girlfriend or even gone on a legit date. Any girl I’ve been interested in enough to date has turned me down and it hasn’t worked out. I just have no confidence in myself. Absolutely none. My experience with girls has been so negative that I assume I will fuck it up or say the wrong thing, leading to me talking to no one. I can be at a party or a bar full of women yet I can’t muster up the courage to go talk to any of them. The only time I have successfully picked up and brought a girl home is when her friend told me ahead of time she liked me. I know confidence is everything, I’ve heard it a thousand times but I just can’t get any. How can I be confident in myself with little/no success?

I’m a good looking guy, play guitar, employed, have hobbies. I focus on myself too and try not to chase but nothing has been working for me lately.

Edit: Wow woke up this morning to all these notifications. Thank you guys it means a lot knowing there are people out there willing to help.
