Since my last year of high school, 1983-84, when I was 18, I had gone an awfully long time without having a girlfriend, even though at times I desperately wanted one. Going places on my own, especially when I saw other guys with their female partners, not to mention spending a lot of time at home by myself, did cause me to feel awkward.
After I while I pretty well gave up, as I did not know how I could approach a female I had an interest in dating or even how to determine whom I should or should not ask out. I assume that a major ingredient of the dating process is reading facial and other cues, something I am not good at. I had gone my whole life without having a serious relationship and consequently became resigned to the fact that I would never get married and would be lucky to have another girlfriend, or so I thought.
