So, I'm almost 22, now, and to be frank, I've never really had any luck with girls. I think I've found one particular reason girls just kind of blow me off all the time, and I really have no idea how to fix it. Apparently, I look like a very young teenager. Now, admittedly, I'm really short (5'2"-ish), and I have a naturally boyish face, but I can't really do anything about either of those things. But in general, I've tried changing my look, I've tried buying better clothing, I've tried growing facial hair, etc., and nothing ever seems to work.
I literally have random strangers mistake me for being in my early teens (one even thought I was under 12...) every week. Seriously. And these are people I'm NOT attracted to; I can only imagine what the girls I do have interest in actually think of me... It's no wonder girls kinda ignore me; I mean, what 22 year old girl wants to date a "12 year old boy"? And most of the time, the people that tell me this seem to be so amused by my "youthful" look, yet I don't take it as a compliment. It irritates me, and it seriously cuts my confidence...
I know a lot of people will probably tell me that this trait will be nice later on in life when I'm much older, but how does that help me NOW? I'd kinda like to get into the dating world and enjoy my youth a little before it slips away, but it's hard to hook a girl my age in when I look like a young child. :/
