Does this make me a loser?

Well, if you are a loser then so am I (I am 21). But honestly, you are only a loser if that is how you treat yourself to be. If you think that, you will start to act like that and, eventually, others will, too. I have never been in a relationship and when the opportunity was open, I have always pulled back. I am just not a dater. I don't think that I am a loser, but I do think that people who treat me like one are, which are typically the people who are only in a relationship because they think that it is trendy amd cool. If you want to date, that's fine. If you don't want to date, that's also fine. So if you really think that you are a loser and MUST go out with someone, then following the tends will not make you feel like any less of a loser, it will just make you feel like a trapped one. Take things at your own pace. Also, if you truly think that you are a loser, you have low self-esteem and relationships are like a roller coaster. Love yourself before you learn to love anyone else.

To feel like a loser...yes. You are 17 and are listening to all the guff the other 17 year olds are spouting about their oh so wonderful boyfriend-full lives so that you feel like you are missing out. You aren't. Stop being miserable and introverted. Do your own thing. Smile at everyone and put on a brave face and you will become even more attractive. Then you can take your pick of suiters when YOU feel that you are ready. Don't hide away moping about nothing. Follow your dreams. Good luck
