Are you lonely?

Because I am.

I'm fucking lonely as shit.

Here's my story. I'm a straight male studying Biomedical Engineering in Toronto. I'm generally thought of as a charismatic and kind individual. I've never had issues striking up a conversation with someone I'm interested in. I write and I act, but I also love science, rationality, and logic. Confidence, for me, has never been an issue.

I have had several women I've been attracted to, and attracted to enough to "make a move". I have been, without fail, rejected by each and every single one of them. Some have been kind, some have been harsh, but in the end, not a single one has ever reciprocated my feelings.

Not a single one.

My first, and only kiss occurred when I was 17 years old. It was with another male, on stage, for the school show. I guess I should say first seven kisses, since the show ran for 4 nights and had 3 dress rehearsals.

I have never found a woman who embodies the traits I love most about myself and about others and who has had the slightest inclination to be with me. I spend my nights alone and it is crushing me.

So, why do I write this? Because I want a pity-party? Because I want some more fucking saccharine, empty words that mean nothing and speculate on everything? Hell no.

I want your stories, reddit. I want to hear about YOUR pain, YOUR desperation, YOUR loneliness.

tl;dr? I want to know I'm not alone in my loneliness.
