Why can't a get a girlfriend.?

I just had to break up with a girl. Sixth girlfriend. Sixth failed attempt. And now I'm pretty much dumbfounded on why I can't get a girlfriend and manage a good relationship. I'm a Senior in high school. I'm 17 and I still haven't gotten far. Farthest was with a little Vietnamese gal back in my Sophomore year. Small pecks on lips...She left me for another guy. And things went downhill from there. And now my mind is a cataract of miserable thoughts and feelings. I am an okay looking guy. I'm kind of fat, but very strong too. I'm the nicest guy you'll ever know. A musician and an artist. I'm smart, funny, talented and outgoing. But I can't get a ******* girlfriend. It has brought me to the conclusion that you cannot be perfect in life and get away with it. Look at Albert Einstein. He didn't talk til' he was like what? 10? And was a lazy **** in school. Nikola Tesla was OCD as hell and believed a pigeon was his wife. You just can't be perfect. There's always a deficiency and mine is girls

    you say that one girl left you for another guy. you have to give your girlfriend a reason to stay with you. if you try your best and they still leave, thats their loss.

    It seems to me that the only thing wrong with you is that you're going after the wrong girls. In your mind, they're exactly what you want, but in your heart, they aren't. Look for something similar in each relationship that might have contributed to it ending, then make sure that doesn't happen the next time around. I never had a bf that lasted longer than a month until I graduated high school (and even then, the number of bfs was still very low). I figured it was because I was intimidating (smart, athletic, and a smartass), but once I graduated and got out of that high school world, I met guys that were attracted to girls like me. Hold on to hope, it kept me going through high school. The number of gfs you've had means absolutely nothing. You also have to be proactive in persuing a girl instead of waiting around for her to come to you, and that also applies to getting further than small pecks on the lips! If you think you're moving too fast with her, have a serious talk before hand about with what she is comfortable.

    Hello, your current girlfriend may or may not have a point. Consider this: how would you feel if your current girlfriend was spending some time with an ex boyfriend? Even if you would think it is okay she does not, and part of loving a person is considering what makes them feel uncomfortable and doing the opposite. Changing and doing things that another person likes does not necessarily mean that you are changing who you are; it just means that you are taking another persons feelings, likes, or dislikes into consideration. (Normally when in a relationship such as this, this is the case) My advice: Limit your contact with your ex girlfriend. Your ex girlfriend is in your past and your current girlfriend is your present. Am not saying or suggesting you should dismiss your ex girlfriend altogether but your ex should be treated the same way you would treat another guy friend. (it should strictly just be friendship from afar; given the history you guys have with one another.) Hope things work out, and I hope this advice helped.

    "I'm the nicest guy you'll ever know. "

    There's your problem right there...

    Just remember, though, six failed attempts are better than no attempts at all... sounds like you are able to attract the women, just not keep them very long... which goes back to my original point.

    Make sure you don't put the girls on a pedestal or behave like her being around justifies your existence. It doesn't.

    There are lots of Internet sites that can help with dating and "nice guy" management. Do a search to find them all. Remember, there are plenty of other guys in your shoes, but you are in better shape than most... you are at least getting dates... most guys in your position can't even manage that... so, don't get too down on yourself... you are doing much better than you think, especially at your age!

    Eventually, it will work out... for years, I couldn't keep a girl for more than two weeks... I married the first woman who stuck around for longer than that, and she was with me for 10 years... I remarried a few years ago, and things have gone very well up to this point....

    You're still very young... things will improve with time and experience. Good luck!

    Source(s): Life and the Internet... I stumbled upon this question at the front page of Yahoo answers and I felt I should put my $.02 of life experience in....

    Look chuckles i've had the same problem before but the thing with you is you think about it to much!!

    You try to act like someone your not!! YOu act like a different guy, the girl fell for the guy she was with, she didn't fall for someone who's putting on a show by trying to impress her or talk to her every single second!! She fell for the guy that she was talking to before not the guy she's talking to and is way different from what you are now!

    Get me!!

    Don't think about it act like yourself cuz that's the only person you really can be is yourself don't try to act different with your girlfriend or someone you like to a point where its not u cuz you won't be able to keep that up!!

    That's y you can't maiintain a relationship!!

    Hope this helps!!

    umm maybe u cant keep a girlfriend cuz u keep comparing yourself to albert einstein. tone down the "i guess im not perfect after all if i cant get a girl" thing and maybe then your next relationship will last.
