If the cat’s had your tongue on more than one occasion or you need a compass to get to the point, you can certainly identify with “Virgin Territory“‘s newest feature, John.
On tonight’s episode, the 19-year-old college student explained very clearly why he, unlike his close group of friends, is still a virgin: he’s “awkward as f**k.” As he described it, his fear of rejection takes over each time he approaches a pretty girl, and even if he drums up the courage to ask one out, prospective girlfriends usually find some excuse to bail. Once, John, admitted, a girl even said she couldn’t commit to an outing because she decided to take a nap, instead.
“A lot of times, I end up c***-blocking myself because when I get nervous…I get weird,” John disclosed.
And John continued to strike out when a girl he met at a pool — who agreed to accompany him to a party — blew him off. His friends grew increasingly critical of his singledom, and when he felt the pressure mount, he decided to try a new approach.
Among John’s group of guy friends was the lovely Justine, with whom John said he could completely be himself. John had always looked to his gal pal as “one of the homies” but decided that pursuing something more with her was worth a shot. So he asked her out but, try as he might, he couldn’t get a read on whether Justine was receptive to his romantic advances. Plus, his attempt at a kiss didn’t exactly go smoothly.
Now, John’s confused about where to go next. Do you get the impression that his feelings for Justine are sincere, and should he keep trying? Or is his pursuing Justine just indicative of how desperate he is to avoid the awkwardness of meeting new people, and should he back off of his friend?
