I am 18 years old and have never been in a relationship. Throughout high school I was slightly over-weight and never gave too much thought about my personal appearance, by the time I was ready for a relationship I felt it would be impossible due to the hole I had dug myself. With college approaching I saw it as an oppurtunity to start over. I decided to get in shape in an effort to re-invent myself and finally meet someone. I am now a commuter in a large state school and have been attending class for three months. I have yet to make one friend, male or female, since I started college. Even with my "new" body I still don't have the confidence, experience, or knowledge to approach a girl. In high school most of my friends would meet girls at parties, but I don't drink and feel very akward and nervous in these situations, not to mention I don't even have any friends to go to these parties with right now. I am a total romantic and being completely alone like this has left me so depressed. I feel so hopeless.
