So I've been single for over a year now. She was my first girlfriend and I lost my virginity to her and all that good stuff. I really thought after we broke up I'd be getting with a lot of girls but it just hasn't happened that way.

My whole life I haven't been very good with girls but I thought having a girlfriend would help me out with it. When I text girls or start talking to them they seem to loose interest in me quickly. I go to party's a lot but never seem to find a girl.

This past weekend I went out to some clubs at the beach and ended up making out with a girl and dancing with her for a bit. I was proud of myself for doing it but it got me thinking, why has it taken me so long to get here, I still have a long way to go.

I have a lot of friends who have sex with girls a lot but I just can't seem to make it happen for myself. It's damaging my self esteem and I don't really know what else to do to progress. I've gotten better at the initial interaction but I can't seem to take it farther very easily.

Any suggestions on what I can do?
