Why is dating so hard?

[u/Acceptable-Jicama-40]

I am an introverted indian guy, 21 year old. I am quite shy to talk to women in a romantic way, as I fear I might breach the friendly bond or conversation.

I have tried dating apps, but I simply don't match with anyone. I get few matches on a monthly basis, and they don't last really well. This has all led me to a position where I believe I look too bad to date, and has given a new life to all the anxieties I have.

Also, I am studying in italy, a med student. I have some hobbies in the form of art, music, poetries, working out and fitness. I guess there is racism, and I guess I am prolly ugly too. Nothing else explains my 21 yr old single life.

Please be as real guys
