I'm 17 and yet I still don't have a job or a girlfriend, both of which most people my age do. I've handed in resumes and applied online for a few places, but none have gotten back to me. I don't really want to work at a fast food place, but it seems like that will have to happen eventually, since I really want to get a job within this month at least. Nearly all of my friends have jobs and talk about them regularly, and I feel like I'm just so socially behind them because I don't have one.
My other issue is that I don't have a girlfriend, and haven't yet. I admit I'm a somewhat quiet person (I wouldn't say shy) around attractive girls I don't know well. If I do know them well, which is rare, I'm fine though. My best friend of the past two years who I don't see anymore cause she moved was incredibly attractive and popular, but we were still best friends for ages, so that's not the issue. There just aren't many girls I'm interested in at my school. They are all either unattractive or unlikable. None of them are interesting, and I don't feel the desire to talk to any of them, since most of them already have boyfriends. My group of friends are somewhat more similar to me in this situation, since most of them don't have girlfriends, but they are more social than me, and sometimes talk to girls on Facebook or at their jobs. Since I don't have a job, and I don't like using Facebook, I pretty much have no opportunists to talk to girls.
I'm worried that since I'm already 17 and haven't had a girlfriend, I will be really unprepared when I eventually do, whenever that may be. I'm not ugly or anything like that, and I'm a really nice person (girls often say that about me). I just seem to have no luck actually finding anyone I actually like. I sometimes worry that I'm not interesting enough for girls to care, since the only girl that's actually taken an interest and liking to me was my best friend, and we only became best friends through random circumstances I can't remember. She was one in a million, honestly. I don't expect I'll meet another girl that I liked as much as her, but whatever. I have to move on.
Sorry for the long post. I'm just feeling really anxious and insecure at the moment, because I have no job or girlfriend, so pretty much no social life outside of my friends at school. I feel so behind and so unprepared and uninteresting. I'll appreciate any answers you guys have :)
