Having trouble with my outlook - August 15th 2011, 06:17 AM

I'm 17 and have had 1 girlfriend, which I did not truly like. I've been rejected countless times, now I'm just exhausted. I'm a good guy, personally in a relationship the most important thing to me is emotional connection and the small stuff like holding hands and talking on the phone all night. If we do anything sexual that's cool, but if we don't it doesn't affect anything for me.
Not that I get the chance to do something as little as hold hands with a girl, something I really have always wanted to do, but don't get to do.
Anyways the point is I've been rejected a million times for being a "good guy". While all the assholes and douche bags who want to "Get some" are the ones with all the girls.
I know it's very likely their motives are different, but I'm afraid I'm on the verge of being a "hit it and quit it" guy. I've always hated those guys, but I'm just exhausted of trying so hard to get nothing out of it but being hurt. I have no one to help me with it or anyone prove I can prevent otherwise, because I never get the chance to show I'm a true person.


I am the stone that the builder refused.

Hey there!

I've found that the best relationships come when you stop looking for them. I know the term 'Nice guys finish last' is hardly what you want to hear, but this is time for you to prove that term wrong. Stop looking for love. Let it come to you. Someone will like you for you.

While Shannon's advice would be perfect if you were a girl, guys generally have to do the 'chasing'. Out of your desperation, you might just end up settling on the first person who comes along, which is most likely what happened in your previous relationship. I agree to stop looking for love. You're basically only looking for someone to give your love to, which is not good. The only way not to be hurt so easily is to stop throwing your emotions out there. When you like a girl more than she likes you, it will only end in disaster. Being a 'nice guy' isn't a bad thing, but it is when you are too nice. It can come off as submissive, which is not an attractive quality, and the opposite of what you should be. You don't have to be a total asshole. Just act confident, and playfully tease girls.
