My chances of finding a girlfriend are likely less that than of my peers.

I would like to ask voters not to vote for my opponent simply out of pity for me, or for any other reasons- unless he is indeed the best debater. To answer your question, I would be interested in a girl who; * Is somewhat attractive, although not necessarily especially attractive. I need to be attracted to her in some way physically. I prefer girls who are more thin, more short (as I am 5'4 myself), and more pretty in the face. So far as body goes, I am fine with most (ignoring weight), and would prefer the B-C range rather than A or above C. I also prefer girls who are more white in color, however, there may be some exceptions to that. * Is interested in me. It's important that there is at least some initial interest in me, which for me at least is a major problem. I'll get back to this later. * Is a person that I can at least have a moderately intelligent conversation with. She doesn't have to be incredibly smart, however, if she's very dumb that would be a major turn off. * Is not a slut/ loose / easy. I prefer girls who would find me special, rather than finding everybody with male private parts 'special enough'. * Is accepting of my viewpoints, including religion and political views. She does not have to agree with me, however she must accept me and must not damn me to hell. * She must be at least somewhat supportive- if she is mean to me, critical, etc it simply won't work. * She must accept my photography, she can't think I'm creepy * She must be between 18-20 (or very close to that age) * She should be a college student, at my college, or living close enough to me where we could reguarly see each other. 1. I agree that there are plenty of lonely ladies hanging out around my city. However, their simple existence does not mean that they will be interested in me in any way. I have been interested in several single ladies since I started going to school hear. For each one of them, any number of unfavorable events would happen. She would either not be interested in me at all, forcing me to forget about her. She might be mildly interested in me to begin with, but be turned off by my social awkwardness, inability to properly flirt / mingle etc, she might be downright creeped out by me. There have been at least two girls who I thought it was a possibility that they might like me. While I would not have put this possibility to be very high, it wasn't entirely unlikely. I have liked several other girls, however, they showed no real or imagined indications that they were interested. For these two that may have been interested, one of them now rather dislikes me. I am afraid I may have came on too strong, too desperate, or too weird. Regardless, she now does not even say 'hi' to me if she happens to see me. For the other girl, soon after I started to become interested in 'making a move' on her, she ended up going out with another guy. If there was any initial attraction at all, I either didn't move quickly enough or it just wasn't going to happen. These are just a few examples of my absolute ineptitude so far as this subjeect goes. 2. She may be desperate, but not desperate for me. I am simply undesirable, if it is my social awkwardness, or my not so good looks, every girl I have liked in recent times has either not liked me back, or nothing has come out of my interest in her. This is what I feel it will be like for a very long time. 3. I met her in high school, we broke up about 3 years ago. It was long distance, and we didn't do anything physically. We mostly spoke online, and I have not had a 'girlfriend' since, if you could even consider her to be, at the time, my girlfriend. EXTRA- I think it is very possible that I have Avoident Personality Disorder. Although I have been working hard to fix it myself, I am still socially inept so far as girls go, and absolutely none have thought of me as more as I would a guy. (So, I think of guys in a totally platonic way. They might make good friends, however, I would never date a guy. Girls think of me in this way as well, might make a good friend, but the prospect of 'dating' me must be ridiculous. ) If I do in fact have AvPD- if you note others who have AvPD they are in similar situations, however older. I have read about 40 years olds with AvPD, who have never kissed a girl, much like my situation right now at 19. If I am to continue this, and certainly as of now, I am far less likely to be involved with a girl than my peers. Most (or almost most) people at my age have had sex, I have not. The vast majority have been kissed Most have fooled around in some way (made out) The vast majority have at least cuddled, held hands, or done something showing mutual attraction. I have hugged or been hugged out of friendship, nothing more. I am clearly less likely to find a girlfriend than my peers.
