There's someone out there for everyone, and 21 is too young to worry about ever finding someone.

This.

However, the first thing to do if you really want to find someone is to be comfortable in your own skin. If you don't love yourself, how can you expect someone else to?

At the same time, consider yourself to be interesting and worthwhile. All you've done here is list a bunch of flaws. I bet there are twice as many assets to list.

Well, OP, would you want to date you? If you think you're too messed up, then it's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You did find this message board. You could talk to another guy who likes message boards.

You sound like a great time. I don't understand why anyone would not want to date you.

Good grief. Get up and do something about it instead of pouting about it.

When even you think that you are past the point of even finding someone, just go to the local mall and sit on a bench and people-watch for a half an hour. If you look past the 'beautiful people' and 'perfect couples', you will also see some of the most unusual and weird pairs walking around - confirming that the most unusual people can find someone.

Look on this forum for other similar threads. They all have similar suggestions:
You won't find someone unless you get out of the house. So get out of the house. Join clubs, and MeetUp.com groups that are of interest to you. It will improve your chances of meeting someone who share those interests.
Pay some attention to your appearance, body, etc. Spruce up your wardrobe, make sure you present a clean appearance, exercise more. (I'm not saying that you have to become one of those 'beautiful people' before you have a chance, but rather make sure you are not at the other far end of that spectrum).
And go have fun. I think people having fun are much more likely to find someone to have fun with, than if they are deep into power-moping.
