Hey, so at the moment I am 25 years old. I have never been in a relationship with anyone nor done anything with anyone either. I really want to be in a relationship but I am trying to work on myself right now. I have faced a lot of rejection from women my age. And honestly, not having a lot of female attention growing up made me question if something was wrong with me. I always knew I was straight but women haven't shown interest in me. I've always been seen as a friend.
I'm dealing with a lot of self doubt that I can be a good partner.
Any advice for me ?

Hi staplesj_,
It's great that you're going out of your way to educate yourself on how to be a good partner ahead of time! Here are a few resources from us that might help you out in different ways:
10 of the Best Things You Can Do for Your Sexual Self (at Any Age)
Hello, Sailor! How to Build, Board and Navigate a Healthy Relationship
Man to Man: On Sex, Masculinity, and Being Yourself[b
I also find Dr Nerdlove can be a helpful resources for folks. particularly men, who are struggling with self-esteem around dating: https://www.doctornerdlove.com/
Something else I recommend is to take some time to read, watch, or listen to media that's been created by women; that can offer some really important perspectives (with the bonus of exposing you to media you might enjoy).
