I don't get the oddity here.
All it takes to never go on a date:
- not being asked out on a date.
- not knowing how to identify anyone interested in dating you or how to actually ask them out in a date.
It's very simple. The combo of not physically standing out and lacking social logistics just works like that.
For me, I was able to identify girls that showed interest in me back in my school days, but I was too afraid to ask them out fearing either being rejected or being accepted and then having to be in a relationship.
When I was 18, I finally got the guts to ask a girl out to lunch and she said yes without hesitation. I was confident because she had been showing obvious signs she liked me for a few months prior and I kind of liked her and she was very polite and really shy which helped me make my decision. Even after having lunch with her, I didn't ask her out on any dates or to be my gf or anything even though I knew for certain she liked me and she would have said yes. I probably let her down by not asking her out.
I was just not ready to grow up back then. I'm still not ready now.
I will admit that short lunch I had with her, was probably the most confidence I've ever felt in my life about myself, which also scared me.
