I didn't date for my entire teen life - it just wasn't on my mind.

I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.

I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 17. There were boys at school that I would find out later had a crush on me but I was too shy to talk to them.

I remember actually liking a girl in high school who was kind of an outcast and weird, and people made fun of her. I remember hanging out with her, but I was apprehensive about telling anyone I really liked her.

Girls didn't really take much interest in me until I was about 14. But I knew how to talk to them very quickly. What I figured out - that my friends didn't - was you have to talk to women like you're not constantly trying to have sex with them. That seemed to work.

I have had a lot of crushes but have never had the courage to go up to a girl and say what I feel. I am scared of rejection.

I was very much a late bloomer. That's not to say that girls didn't express interest in me from time to time, but I just, I did not know how to respond to that.

I didn't have any relationships in my teenage years, as I felt I was not attractive enough.

I went out with the same girl throughout all four years of high school.
