Believe it or not, nearly everyone I meet tells me I look like Jesus. XD True story. I guess girls don't like that though, 21 years old, and have never had a girlfriend.
Exact same boat here. You aren't alone. 
Guys - i'm going to tell you your problem right now. it's your state of mind. we're so damn lucky as men because women's taste in men varies so much....
i honestly think - and i don't give a damn what you look like - that you are probably either (A) not putting yourself out there... or (
holding back and not showing interest so you give them the impression you're just being a friend. if you try and move on that point then it's just startling.... but i get it - you don't want to come on too strong and make it come off awkward.
I dunno - i think i've just had good luck falling into relationships just where i meet someone and we hit it off.... but i can be kind of a passionate intense person, so i guess it kind of drives me.... but i'm not good at initiating things. i'm 29, married with 2 kids -- i've had like... 4 girlfriends not counting my wife (because we were only dating 2 months before we got married.... 6 years ago almost)... and had brief... things.... with a half dozen or so other girls.... but i'm just absolutely terrible at seeing a girl, chatting her up, getting her number, asking her out, etc. the few times i've tried it it's just gone terribly.
it's always been that i'll just meet someone through friends and we'll start talking, and hit it off -- maybe another time or two after that, then it just kinda happens. (though one time ... at "Denny's" ... but that's another story for another time)
i think you guys might be holding back on those opportunities because you're afraid of making things awkward.... or you're just not getting out there and meeting people.
anyway - i wish you the best of luck and happiness. don't stress, you'll meet someone someday - probably soon.
i wish i knew everything i know now back when i was younger and single - had the self confidence / lack of self consciousness i have now....it's just a matter of letting go of fear.
Man, never expected this kind of advice from video game forums.

Anyway, thanks. I'll preface this by saying I'm really surprised I'm willing to be open about some of this stuff on forums.

I'll be really honest, I know that I have horrible self-esteem, and am afraid of making things akward. I have trouble interacting with people, especialy females.
I was homeschooled 3rd to 7th grade, and online schooled 8th through 12th grade. So I never really had a good chance to experience social interaction, and that has not helped. Also, I am slightly Autistic, and that makes interacting with others more diffcult than normal.
So... yeah. I'm a little lacking in the social area.

Sorry for the potential TMI. I just, for some reason, felt like getting that out there.
