Nobody has ever wanted to date me

At this point? Yes.

This begs the question, have YOU ever asked someone how for a date or are you expecting them to come knocking on your door?

Post your stats, what do you look like?

Are you a 3 trying to date 10?

Do you have any friends? What do they say about this situation? Personality issues?

You're 55 and have never dated?

What exactly would you be "giving up" at this point? Sounds like you gave up a long time ago.

And we can't diagnose you based on just an age. Whatever personality "features" that complete this picture are likely the key points to address.

And you know it.

Two words: Massage Whores.

Definitely a personality issue, I have seen many butt ugly people date regularly.

I’m. 37 and no one has ever wanted to date me and everyone I have ever liked has never liked me back.

I don’t see this changing.

In 15 years, I’ll be just like you.

I realized a long time ago it was me. In my case Avoidant Personality Disorder. Not everyone is meant to be in a relationship.

You're either way too picky or you don't make enough of an effort to be attractive. It's not that hard to get into a relationship.

r9 Overreact much? Calm your tits.

R10 = truly unloveable, everyone avoids him.

It’s not about making yourself more attractive. It’s about being open to other people.

I really wonder about people who think they have to put so much work into being “attractive.”

What you are going to attract is someone just as superficial as you are.

OP I used to have the same thought process , I discovered the following.

1. Not every person you meet will be material for a romantic or sexual encounter even if you are attracted to them. A solid friendship could develop. Nothing may develop.

2. If your primary goal is romantic involvement and you continually seek this you will never find it. If you ask around with people in long-term relationships meeting was not planned it was totally random and yes it resulted in an attraction that moved along in the process easily.

3. Engage in meet up situations that is not necessarily " gay" related were you share a common interest. This is a better venue for meeting people with a similar value system as you.

4. No harm in having a fuck buddy(s) in those situations where you are sexually compatible with the relationship centered on meeting mutual sexual needs only . As long as it's approached with respect and mutual boundaries are maintained.

I’m 36 and I fear this is my future. Never kept a boyfriend longer than 2 years and those have been few and far between. Most guys only last 3 months or so.

I'm 38 and the longest relationship I've had is two months. I think there are a lot of gays in their 30s, 40s and 50s who have never dated due to anxiety and/or insecurity. They just aren't the ones you are going to be seeing on social media or the apps.

OP: Do you have any theories as to why nobody has ever wanted to date you?

Ms. Lindsey, you are well over 55, so stop lying about your age. Isn't it evident why no one wants to date you, since you never leave Trump's ass?

OP dropped his turd here an hour ago and hasn’t bothered to respond to any of your well-meant and potentially useful suggestions since.

This suggests to me he doesn’t give a shit what you think. And confirms why he’s unfuckable as well as unloveable. Life - and love - is a two-way street. You have respond and all we get from OP is silence.

A relationship takes work. How can anyone find love if they can’t even be bothered to reply when someone answers a question they asked?

It's your gross personality, OP. If it had a physical embodiment, it would be the Elephant Man.

It gets better OP, I've never been in a relationship but I have dated and now I am in my 70's and honestly glad it never happened for me. I simply couldn't take having to deal with someone else at this point and am quite happy all by myself. I get to have everything exactly how I want it, no compromises, I haven't gotten mad at anyone in years and there is no stress. I guess it depends on how needy you are.

If you're 55, you're already dated.

Don't give up! First, be brutally honest about your appearance, grooming, always try to look your best without trying too hard. Do not look at what 35 year-olds wear for your own inspiration, and anyone that age who goes out with you is, on some level, expecting you to have money.

The problem with sad sacks like OP is that they feel they deserve that best looking youngish guy who is 1000 light years out of their league. OP and everyone else, if you’re serious about changing your life around, look for a date who is exactly like you - a chunky balding glasses wearing schlub. They aren’t so bad, honey, just look at yourself!

R18, it’s because he’s with bullshitting us or because he’s jumping off the George Washington Bridge.

Grow up, r12. It's not superficial to put effort into looking good. Spoken like someone who hasn't been fuckable in decades.

It is superficial to think that the reason you don’t have a relationship is because you’re not attractive enough.

It’s a “hit and run OP.”

With all due respect, Miss OP, I have troubles of my own.

Too picky and that’s saying it in a nice way.
