I had the same issue because I took a multi-year break from dating in my 20s, or at least that’s how it looked to my friends. A lot of my friends assumed that it was happening because that’s what I wanted, so I had to actually have a conversation with them to share that I wasn’t happy about it.

Do you see these friends 1-on-1 ever? Could be a good opportunity to open up and share that this has been challenging for you. Plus you could get some perspectives from other guy friends who might have struggled more with dating than you realize. Right now you only have the perspective of your friend who is really good with women, and he might be a bit out of touch if he is really good-looking and great with people.
