Unfortunately the town I live in has no quality public transportation and almost no sidewalks so when it comes to getting anywhere I'm dependent on my parents. Furthermore, I'm afraid that when I actually am 16 my pickings as far as girls go will be slim because by now almost everyone my age has some dating experience while I have none. Even if that doesn't actually mean anything people may still look down on me for that. So I figure that the Buddhist approach applies here.
And to whoever mentioned it, I am definitely straight. |
I wouldn't worry about it too much, man, so long as you don't exemplify it. As someone who was in your position four years ago, (I couldn't date until then, either, and am 20 now) people at your age are so preoccupied with themselves that they will not notice your inability to date so long as you don't express it yourself by bitching about it or stating it as the reason you turn a girl down.
This could easily be used to your advantage. Imagine the exclusivity the girls would see in you since you hadn't dated any other girls. Make it look like you're the picky one, and exude confidence so that when you hit sixteen and the parents allow it, and you declare to the market that you're open for dating, the girls will be all over ya!
Honestly... most people around you at your age are clueless. You're clearly smart if you're looking for advice, because it means you realize you don't have all the right answers. Keep searching, you're DEFINITELY on the right track bud!
