I have never dated and I never even started, I gave up at 16 after a few rejections and no date for high school prom. I questioned myself and decided dating is not for me. I see no point in chasing a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It is better spending my valuable time doing things that I enjoy in life.

That is way to early o date anyway or most people. At that age I was busy with paying sport and doign stupid things to care about forming a longer term relationship.

Honestly you are better looking at something in your early 20s. By then you know the girls who have their head screwed on straight and aim for those. Avoid the dreamers who float wishing for something rather than making it happen

20 years have passed since I accepted at 16 that dating was not for me. I assumed a few rejections = all will be future rejections and no point even bothering. I am the type of guy that quits something after one or two failed attempts. I quit my drivers license after 2 failed attempts and I have never tried for it again. I almost quit college after failing one unit, I got through the course but it was a waste of time and I wish I never bothered with college.   I take rejection/failure really personally. It feels like the end of the world and I am depressed about it for a very long time. Quitting reduces the stress/anxiety and I can move on with my life. I use avoidance to limit social interactions to reduce my stress/anxiety levels.
