Is it a bad thing if a person has never been liked romantically by anyone?

being liked romantically has little value, if any, and shows nothing about the type of person you are. if you're a good person and true to yourself you'll probably attract people eventually, shit even the most terrible people i've met are in relationships lol. but if you want to speed up the process you could try dating apps or websites that don't necessarily focus on looks. also i personally don't think you should get surgery just to fit beauty standards, and especially not to get people to like you. it's expensive and you're risking your life so you should only do it for yourself. if anything at least wait until you're a bit older because you're young af to be thinking about this.

There are many people who will keep their romantic feelings for others quiet in fear of rejection and subsequent embarrassment, so there's a chance you've been romantically liked by someone and never knew it. I'm 27 and there have been a couple of guys who have admitted they liked me several years ago, and I was none the wiser.

Also, you're still very young, and people who are less outgoing don't tend to receive as much romantic attention, so it could be that you have stuck to your tight-knit group and focused more on your studies as well (which is not a bad thing at all).

Another thing to remember is that your self worth is absolutely not based on how many people give you romantic or sexual attention. That is not a surefire indicator of how attractive someone is, either, as some people shoot for what is available to them rather than who they truly have feelings for, and some also only want sex and really only care about finding someone willing to engage in it with them.

I think DADSNCAL is spot on with his advice as well. Moving won't solve your problems, and projecting a positive image makes everyone more genuinely attractive (a.k.a. not just superficially, but in a way that people will thoroughly enjoy your company). Even people who are not conventionally attractive are often seen as attractive because they are enjoyable to be around and have great personalities, and are confident and secure in who they are. People also tend to like imperfections, as they are part of what makes someone who they are, and give them character.

You're way too young to think that you're a failure romantically. I absolutely don't think you should move. You can't run away from your problems. It's great tgat you're working on your appearance but also evaluate your attitude and how you relate to people. Be nice to be with. Project a positive image. You'll get a lot farther.

Honestly, if you were any kind of a catch, a young lady would have put her paws on you by now. Yeah, losing weight might make you more physically attractive. But think about this - do you want a woman who is only attracted to your physique? Your time and efforts might be better spent improving your career or education. More than anything else, good women want a man who can make a nest for 2. Or 3. Or 4.

I have the reverse problem of not being attracted to anyone else.
