I'm a 20-year-old black male living in NYC. I have social anxiety and am very introverted so meeting people is already difficult. Although I've gotten compliments on my looks, I have a baby face that ends up causing people to mistake me for a high school student.
I've always been unsuccessful at dating. None of my past relationships lasted longer than a month. When I was in them, girls would lose interest due to me not knowing how to flirt, be intimate, or have a conversation with them.
I've had similar experiences while dating online. Most of the matches I received were gay, unattractive, weird, or never responded to my messages. Those that did respond led to first dates that went nowhere or they stopped communicating with me right when we were about to meet. This has been the case with OkCupid, Tinder, Coffee Meets Bagel, Zoosk, Bumble, Single and Shy, and Christian Connection.
I'm doing well outside of my dating life. I have a high GPA - though it went down slightly due to depression. I'm majoring in economics and math and will graduate soon. I have interned at several banks, which may soon turn into a full-time offer. I have 3 friends that I have a strong connection with. It may not be a lot but I value connection over quantity.
I go to therapy but it hasn't really helped.
Am I hopeless?
TLDR: I'm a black introverted socially anxious guy with a baby face who has been unsuccessful at dating. I want to know if I'm hopeless.
