Why do I not have the drive to fix something that is making me unhappy and get a girlfriend?

A male United Kingdom age 30-35, *ozmo writes:

I am 22 and never been with a girl. It makes me sad and unhappy and I crave someone to be close to, cuddle and other intimacy. Yet I can't seem to find the drive to do anything.

Each year I think to myself: this year I want to get a girl. It hasn't happened so far.

In contrast this year I also thought to myself "I will save up and get a new motorbike buy this time next year" Lo and behold I have already saved up enough money for the new bike about 8 months later.

What I don't get is that I am not unhappy with my current motorbike, I love it. But I would also not mind and quite like the idea of getting a new one, So I saved up. But how come I have no drive to fix something that is actively making me UNHAPPY? Its like I am comfortable in my misery and I dunno why I have no desire to make an effort to try and talk to girls or get a gf.

Hey buddy get this straight you just don't go out and get a girlfriend. It is not something you buy and order.

But if you are talking about the ladies of the evening then that is another story. Why should I as a woman even want to go out with you? Your not even happy with yourself. Why don't you stop beating yourself up and start being a little pro active and have a positive outlook on life. What is with that motor cycle. Okay you like it. Sorry you really love it. That's okay.

What else could you bring to a relationship or friendship with a woman? If you love bikes that much I am sure there are women out there that love the same. But right now you don't have enough self esteem to even get up the courage to ask a woman for a date.

Listen man up and get the help you need to be a self confident man that accepts who he is but is willing to put himself out there to get a woman as a friend first with romantic possibilities later. You don't have the drive to take action because you are afraid.

You better think quickly how to get help to correct this issue. I know what it feels like to be alone at night. And it does suck and makes you feel like you describe. But I know one thing when I come home after a long day at work my sweetheart has made dinner and always has a little surprise for me.

God it feels good to be in love and wanted and cared for. And I know you want the same thing. Good-luck....xoxo

I think therapy would help you find out why. I mean, you are not consciously stopping you. Something inside you subconscious is preventing you from getting into a relationship. It could be fear as anonymous female suggested. But it could be another unresolved matter. And you wont be able to advance unless you find out.

Bike is one thing, to be with another human being is different. Bike can't reject you, it will love you no matter what. A girl might reject you, actually before you find someone you will be rejected quite a bit like everyone else.

I think you lack of motivation to "get" a girl is based on your fear of rejection. Unfortunately for men they have to do the first move most of the time. Now times changed and women sometimes ask a guy out on a date, but mostly it is considered to be guy's work. I was actually surprised to see how many guys are shy to make a move. They hint and kind of wait till we say something reassuring for them to move forward.

I personally prefer when a guy is straightforward. It's easier. Most of the time I appreciate the effort and say yes to the first date, unless it's a 100% not my type. I happened to change my opinion about guy and how much I m attracted to him during the course of the night so many times that now I would rather give him a chance than say, no.
