One Month of Opportunities and Countless Moments of Being Alone

I started college a month ago.  It's different than I thought it would be.  I thought I would make so many friends and would always be having fun, but its not like that.  I made a lot of friends at the start, but they all joined frats and there are a lot of times I feel alone.  I do have friends, but I'm in college, I want to meet a lot of people, you know? Maybe, the real problem is that I want to meet more boys.  All the guys I know are obsessed with hooking up and who they've laid.  And even those guys I don't see often, because of their duty to their respective fraternities.  I want to meet a group of people NOT in a frat.  People I can have fun with, you know?  I love my roommate and my other friends!  I really do! Its just different because they are all in relationships so they probably never feel fully alone.  Meanwhile, here I am feeling as empty as ever.  There is this guy, he's sweet and makes me feel special but sometimes I don't know where we are at.  I feel like our relationship was a lot more exciting when I was talking to other guys.  There are so many complications with this guy, some in my own head and others that are serious and real.  I love talking to him, I just don't know what it will lead to and I don't know what I want.

When I see a cute guy I choke up.  All my confidence leaves and I act like a loser.  People tell me I am pretty and that when I'm in college boys will be falling for me.  Well, I'm in college and boys are not necessarily falling for me.  All the guys I have met have wanted one thing.  Sex.  and not with me, just in general.  They don't care with who or when, they just do.  It was a harsh reality, but it was true.  I want to find someone I am completely head over heels into that wants me just as much.  But I don't think life works that way, at least for me.

I'm not happy right now, and I don't know what I can do to fix it.  The struggle of balancing my grades with trying to have a thriving social life is hard.  It is so hard.  I'm scared and I feel alone.  I'm clueless and lost and in need of guidance.  I feel ugly and worthless.  I don't like feeling like this but I do.
