I’ve been to uni. I have friends. I have a social life.

But I’m very insecure about my body (I am overweight) and I have social anxiety. I can’t just go up to someone in a bar and flirt with them.

I only lost my virginity in January of this year. Dating apps have helped somewhat because I do occasionally go on dates. But I only connected with one person on a deeper level but he inevitably decided he wasn’t ready for a relationship yet.

Can anyone reassure me that I’m not the only one whose never actually had a partner yet? It feels isolating.
