We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist

Josh is a grown man looking back on the fact that he has never had a girlfriend. He wondered why, so he revisits a handful of "meaningful" relationships with girls in his life from age 13-his mid twenties. He came close several times, but just never had a girlfriend.

Josh was a pretty interesting character. He had cancer when he was young, and as a result, his left leg was amputated at the hip. He wore a prosthesis for most of his life, and got around just fine. One thing that was common about all the girls that he almost went out with was that none of them seemed bothered by his lack of an appendage. In fact, many seemed to like him more for it because it showed a determination that may have been lacking in other boys.

He was also homeschooled until high school, but didn't seem like the weird homeschool kids that always come to mind. He obeys his parents almost to a fault, which is admirable. On the whole, he was a neat character to read about, and it was kinda sad that he never had a girlfriend.

He does, by the way, figure out why things never worked out with the girls from his past, and that was an interesting take on things because it was so real.
