    I am the youngest out of 3 and I have two older sisters and I feel like there is a lot of pressure on me to have a GF. My sisters both currently have long term partners and have only spent a few months out of relationships. They keep on asking me about my love life but tbh there hasn’t been much of it like I can count on two hands the amount of girls I have kissed never mind anything more then that. Its really getting me down even my mother was asking me about it as I haven’t been coming home as much anymore and she thought I might have a GF.

    Like there is girls I am interested in but I cant force myself to go up and talk to them. Due to my course I don’t have a lot of contact with girls as compared to what I did in my mixed school. There are these two girls in my college who I cant get out of my mind.
    Girl A
    I was out one night last year and it was a pretty quiet night and I seen this girl giving me all the signals that she was interested (Looking straight at me smiling, dancing right beside me and my mates) but I got scared and didn’t do anything about it. Seen her out a few times after that and the same thing happened. Then this year I seen her around a lot around campus and every time I see her there is a lot of eye contact but still haven’t been able and talk to her.

    Girl B
    Met this girl two years ago though a mutual friend but nothing ever happened and she took a year out last year in which she was seeing someone but the catch is I haven’t been able to get this girl out of my head at since the day I have met her. I don’t think there has been a day where I haven’t thought about her. Since I have met this girl she has improved on her looks and now I feel she is really out of my league now.

    I kinda have low confidence and would be described as quiet person but there are a few reasons behind this. I am only 5’8 so when girls are taller then me makes me feel like less of man (though only really feel that when I am out and girls are wearing high hells), have learning disability (Not many of my friends in College know this as I rarely talk about it) and I tend to stammer at times (though I can go months with out doing it then spend the next week doing it all the time) but not normally a problem.

    I have plenty of friends and I have never had a problem making friends so I am not a complete social out cast.

    I am in my final year of college and I feel like I have missed out on some of the fun that most people enjoy when they come to college. When I go out I see all these young good looking girls and I wish I was able to go over and talk to them but I just cant do it while my mates have no problem with doing this and I feel like I have missed out.

    Next time you see Girl A, just walk straight up to her and start talking about anything, even open with a compliment. From what your saying, sounds like she likes you too. And even if things don't work out, then you at least have the satisfaction of knowing you were brave enough to try.

    Don't worry about your sisters. To them, their little brothers all grown up and they're just taking an interest.
