Everyday is a loss. I go home and feel death's mockery on my shoulders. Why couldn't I approach any girls, meet them, get to know the ones I like?

If you are really desperate, try Craigslist.

Sounds to me like you are really down. Do me a favor and go talk to someone in person tomorrow. you certainly aren't the only one who is feeling bad, and i can guarantee you there are people who can help you feel better .

also online dating is wicked for finding girls, give it a try. But to be honest with you I have found girls don't make me happy, I have to find my own happiness. Though a girl cant hurt.

It's what gets me through the lonely spells : |

lol, if you're desperate, grow a pair. if you're serious about feeling like shit everyday then you have two options: open your eyes and realize that you don't have to be searching around for women to meet 24/7. You're in class to learn too, prioritize things. Second option is to man up. Go in there, smile, look like a normal person, and sit down next to a girl that you would like to talk to, and talk to her! Just make a comment about the prof or ask some random question about the course (ex. what material is being covered on the test). Just go from there and ask what program/year she is in blah blah blah. Just don't make it like an interview haha. And don't expect every single person you try to talk to be like "omg he's so cooool.....". No. Some people don't like to talk, some people won't like you at all without even getting to know you, that's how life is, too bad.

If you like them, you must be in some contact. Just..approach them, what's holding you back? What's the worst that can happen, she's not interested? Big deal. It's better to try than to come home everyday and regret what you've done and what you didn't do.
I'll tell you a story about what got me motivated to change who I was. And it's pretty simple, and it may not have the same effect on you it had me, but for me..it was life changing. My dad was telling me about this interview he had watched with a disabled athlete and she was saying "I look around me at all these people with perfectly working legs not doing a thing with them, and I think, how can they waste them like that when they have what I don't. Yet I'm the one out here competing" Not a direct quote, but you get the idea. And I thought, well shit, she's right. Wtf am I doing.
So wtf are you doing? The only thing stopping you is yourself..take a risk, the cons really aren't that bad, and then at least you know you tried Girls really aren't as scary as they can seem. Well...some are...just avoid orange pandas and you should be good

Stop sulking, man up, and do something.
Go say hi, get a girlfriend, or at the least, a friend.

Awe!!!! :(
cheer up, buttercup.

If you can't approach girlies, then don't. Wait til one approaches you
better yet, don't worry about it at all
Just chill, do your thinggg & one will show up when you least expect it.
If you're looking for a girl, you'll never find one

for now, just focus on school, even.
or friends or video games or whatever.
Join a club! try a new sport! go get a gym membership!

Everthing worth knowing leaves scars.

For some people finding a partner is easy. For others it is not. But there are risks posed for both types of people, and the successful ones push through, regardless of what might or might not happen.

And like someone else said, we aren't scary. I personally find guys who strike up conversation to be the best ones (not saying that girls should just wait around for guys to do that, but it's because guys feel so much pressure sometimes, and it's a lot easier for women to do it. when you do the opposit of what's unconciously expected, it's kind of awesome)

Just become gay. Guys are easier to get.

Not necessary.

For sex I'd say so. Because men are sex maniacs, so putting two men together is pretty easy, but relationships are probably just as tricky. It's also hard to find out who's gay and who isn't, it's not something you really want to ask for a variety of reasons.

Coming to MacInsiders with your relationship problems was you first mistake.

I'm very disappointed with the ratio of people who are taking the OP's problem seriously to the number of people going "Lol, grow a pair". People really need to understand that depression is a serious medical condition.

To the opening poster;

Sadly, I don't have the answer to your problem. I'm not a psychiatrist, nor will I claim to be. I can't tell you how to live your life and you probably realize that deep down as well. After all, the most rewarding answers in life are not those given to you, but those you find for yourself. I only have two solid suggestions I can give to you; 1) Find something you really enjoy and do it everyday. 2) Exercise. As bogus as it sounds, exercise does wonders for depression. I suggest making use of the wonderful hiking trails through Cootes and the Royal Botanical Gardens.
