I want to tell you guys my troubles with women and see if you have any advice/tips.
I believe I have deep rooted psychological issues dealing with women. I didn't hit puberty until I was about 15 (no significant amount of underarm hair until junior/senior year of highschool). I'm now almost 21. 5/10, 136 lbs. I have some facial hair, but can't even grow sideburns that look right.
I live in a college town and am starting graduate school right now. All people in the academic world treat me with alot of respect (i'm a pretty good student). I don't regularly use tobacco but i have bought it several times. It absolutely kills me when i go to the counter at a convenience store and ask for tobacco and the clerk starts laughing and says ""how old are you?". The other problem i have is when I go home to visit my parents every now and again. When they introduce me to people, 95% of the time the people ask me what grade i'm in. Its my best guess that people think my age is about 16.
I have had several almost girlfriends, but it never works out. I get severe one-itis and become a major wuss and would do anything for the girl that i'm seeing. they immediately drop me. Also, I never kiss a girl when the moment is right, I always chicken out. When i do eventually get the nerve to kiss them, its too late and I usually end up just giving a quick peck. and then the girl drops me.
I have no confidence and I literally walk around all day feeling sorry for myself for not being able to get a girlfriend.
Does anyone have any advice for me?
I have seriously considered seeing a professional counselor but I have always chickened out and have never made an appointment.
I have also tried the "give it time, this situation will get better... I'll find a girl" but i've given up on that. I have read alot of stuff on this forum and have learned alot.
