Sad.

I've been thinking about this a lot recently, given I s'pose that it's Christmas etc...I've never actually had a boyfriend/had someone fancy me/felt loved (except by my parents!) ever. I have a physical disability - is that why? (Suffice to say, I do not have psychological problems). I'm not ugly - just average and I do have a pretty decent personality...Any advice? Am feeling very lonely. Oh and I am 19 - at uni.

The physical disability is irrelevant to me, at this point as i don't know what it is. I would say just wait, it will happen soon, you will find someone when you are least expecting it. Concentrate on whats important in life, be glad you have a family that loves you. Lots of people don't even have that, and wait. You'll find the man/woman of your dreams.

If you feel that way about yourself then sometimes it sort of rubs off on other people
As in if you feel beautiful then you look beautiful
Maybe your problem is self confidence?

I always try and make myself look as nice as I can given the circumstances I described. Beka - i think it might partly be a lack of confidence, but I have tried to come out of my shell, but it's so hard esp. when the first thing people notice about you is what is wrong with you. I love my family to bits, and I know the fact that I am single concerns and hurts my mum sometimes because it isnt caused for the same reasons as other people - athough obviously she never mentions it...

Do you actually look for dates?

People won't just come and fall on your lap (metaphorically speaking!).

If you want dates, you should try and speak with people and get to know people.

Not to pry, but what kind of physical disability do you have? People with disabilities still do date, so not all hope is lost!!
