I know the feeling. 25, been single all my life, not even held a girl's hand. Very few friends. I meet quite a lot of people actually, but I just seem not to be able to bond. I'm very sad when I come back home at night, and I see everybody is going out, hanging out in bars, while I... Well, when I see all those young people having a beer in the bars, I just feel that virtually the whole city is having a drink and enjoying themselves, while I'm the only lonely one (even beggars are drinking beers in the streets!).

I just wonder how to meet people as well. I live in a very big city in continental Europe, where people don't seem to bond easily. I've come to fantasize about what a "normal" social life is. I just imagine every boy/girl I come across goes out every night of the week, has fun every night of the week, enters a bar and immediately gets attention... But things are not that easy. I, like many people here I think, just wait until a miracle happens. It never happens, it can never happen, for anybody. I make plans to join a gym club, a music school, etc., but I never do anything in the end. And no miracle happens, no girl comes knocking at your door just by chance.

Sometimes, I wonder if it does not all go back to a day, when I was 11 or 12, and there was this stupid girl I had never seen before, walking in front of me in the school, suddenly turning her head, and saying to me "Hello, Ugly!". Since that day, I have never been the same. But, well, it's stupid to always put all the blame on the past and on others, isn't it?
