    Not really sure what to type.

    Im 19, never had a girlfriend and am really bored with life at the moment. I just cant stand how boring everything is, especially during the summer. I have a few friends but it seems like mostly im stuck at home with nothing to do but watch tv for hours on end and im starting to get fairly lonely.


    My love life is non existant. I made out with a girl for the first time last week at Oxygen and the thought of having to wait a few more months or years until something like that happens again is just depressing. Id love nothing better than to be in a proper relationship but my inabiity to get a girl is really starting to frustrate me. It really is the only thing I can focus on lately.

    Being stuck alone in this house is really starting to wear me down and I really dont believe things will ever change because I cant handle much more of this.

    Feels good to get that off my chest.

    You're 19 - Are you in college? About to start college? Working? Summer can be a bit of a pain in the arse if you're not around your mates with holidays and the like, but all the more reason to head out and meet some new people.

    If your biggest problem is being stuck at home, then it's time to get doing something. There's nothing worse than being at home all day if you want to get out and about. It's too easy to start thinking negative.

    The only way to make a change is to stand up and do it yourself, unfortunately (Insert motivational poster here) - Noone else can do that for you, but if you start getting out and about, chances are you'll start bumping into new people.

    Dont watch so much tv, it can be soul destroying. Join a sports club, or get a part time job in a social environment, like a bar, cinema etc. When I was 19 I worked in a cinema complex and it was so social. We all went out alot after work and there was a good ratio of guys and girls so I had a few flings there. Same with working in a bar.

    But also you should be finding things you are interested in. Perhaps go away as a volunteer for a few weeks/months...Just some suggestions to get your motivation happening.

    You need some "Me time", baby! :D Work on you first. What're you into? Movies? Music? There's loads of organizations of folk just chasing their passions, they're always happy to have new people onboard. ProTip: Many of these groups can be found on this very website!

    You're only 19 - don't give yourself such a hard time. You're doing ok. You'd be amazed how the girl situation sorts itself out once you're involved with an activity that you enjoy.
