why am i always single?

ok
im 18. im sociable and considered 'popular', not that that really means anything, i know. my point is, i go out several times a week, have lots of friends, am average-to-good-looking, im smart and friendly. BUT NO ONE IS EVER INTERESTED!

please dont think im arrogant because im not saying im so amazing. im not! im just saying - i think im pretty normal and im quite ok looking and a pretty high achiever.

so i dont understand why i am always the one left single?!

at parties, clubs, on holidays, i am always the one left 'mingling' while all my friends are off making out with people. and while i dont particularly want to make out with strangers, i just wonder - why is it NEVER me?

ive never had a long term boyfriend and guys just dont seem to hit on me. im so tired of being the only one not in a couple and feel so left out.

am i doing something wrong?

i admit, valentine's day coming up is causing me to freak out. ive never had a date on valentine's day and im beginning to think I NEVER WILL!

and...yes, i am still a virgin - and scared to death of becoming the forty year old virgin!

thanks everyone x

Because life's a bitch? Seriously, you'll find someone, eventually. I'm 21 and still looking (although not quite the same situation as you) so you've got plenty of time.

It's probably because you're looking. Inevitibly if you don't look, something will come your way :wink:

HINT OF THE DAY:
If you want to meet people, go to parties, not pubs and clubs.

i know what you mean. i know it sounds stupid but you just dont look for it. it's hard not to look but after a while you just forget about not looking and then someone will come unexpectedly

10 year old cousin: Have you got a girlfriend?

me: What!? do you have a boyfriend?
10yoc: No, but I'm 10 and you're 21!

It appears you have the greatest contraception known to man.

Your personality.

i dont know if youre joking but if you are thats pretty rude to assume there is something wrong with my personality.

i mean, there MIGHT BE (!) - feeling a little insecure here - but the thing is that i am generally confidant, sociable and friendly. guys do ask for my number fairly frequently - they just always want to be friends! i make friends easily and im grateful for that, im just tired of being the friend!

i go to plenty of parties and other couples always seem to meet at parties and develop on from there. that's why im so frustrated that no one is ever interested in me.

i go to party after party and there's this cute guy who i have a long chat with and half an hour later he's making out with my friend! then a month later they're this couple and im his good friend who he's 'grateful to' for introducing him to his girlfriend! aaaaaaargh!

sorry to dwell on this but it's really getting me down!

Well, when they ask for your number, just ask them out on a date alone rather than with friends.

aw
seriously you are not the only one
there are many people in the same situation
i think you may have a case of just continuouly being in the "friend zone"

flirt more!

Chapesse, t'was a joke, it has been said about myself many times, and to an extent that is how I describe myself. I have plenty, plenty female friends, but none gf material. Maybe it;s just my sense of humour.

I know in my heart though that one day I will be happily married to a nice girl who gets on with Mother and will accept me for who I am :biggrin:

Chin up!
