Why can't I get a boyfriend?

Question

I am 24, people tell me I am beautiful, smart and funny. But I have been pretty much single for 2 1/2 years. Yes I am picky but I never even get asked out! I go out, I'm friendly, I am positive about myself. Every single one of my friends now have boyfriends except for me. What am I doing wrong? I am starting to feel like it's never going to happen for me.

Answer 1

You have obviously set your standards to high and you need to regroup and understand you have to take the good with the bad.
No one out in the world is perfect and your not going to find someone without faults, baggage, so you are going to have to compromise what is most important to you.
Look at the way you talk and carry yourself. Men are intimidated by a independent women. So lighten up a little enjoy life and he will come your way when you least expect it.

Answer 2

It's not always easy to find someone even when you possess beautiful attributes. Sometimes meeting someone is just chance and your time hasn't been too fortunate. Don't think it has anything to do with you as a person. Instead, I think that you might not have opportunity to find someone as yet.

Fear not for we all are single at some stages through life. You being single for 2 1/2 years would be disheartening, as I can imagine, but do not give up hope! I think that when more guys get the chance to know you, your single status will change :)

Too bad you probably live in some other country or I'd try asking you out myself! ;)

Good luck with it and don't be too disheartened. These moments are just tests in this game called love. I bet when you finally find that guy you want to be single again! lol

Answer 3

Well....

At 24 you shouldn't be looking for a "boyfriend"!! Boyfriends are something you have when your in your teens.

21/2 years of being single?? Are you saying that you did have a boyfriend/husband up to that point? If you did? What happened in the relationship that broke it up? Maybe there is a clue to why your having problems now.

24 is a difficult age anyway. Your too old to act like a teeny-bopper and are probably already working and supporting yourself. Its also pretty young in the grand scheme of things and at 24 most of the guys your gonna run into are still into the bar and sports scene. Its not that your "picky" its that your probably quite a bit more mature then most of the guys that you meet.

Oh don't worry...it will happen for you eventually. You just need to be prepared for it. Keep working or studying, keep your eyes open for a potential life partner, be careful with someone that just wants to take advantage of you, don't give your heart away too quickly just to be able to keep up with your girlfriends. Concentrate on you first.

Answer 4

You need to think about this a little bit more:
1) all men will eventually die, some sooner than others
2) all men are inherently evil, so you will probably have a bitter break-up
3) there are some longings even men can't fill, because they are finite (limited)

The only Man you really need is Jesus. His death and resurrection cleared the way for God to forgive you of all your sins--past, present, and future--and allow Him to let you into Heaven, where none of your blessings will pass away. Heaven is a lot better than a boyfriend.

Answer 5

You are likely giving the impression that you aren't interested. Ask questions of the people you meet. If a man says he likes the beach for instance say I'd love to go with you . That should get things going as you have now sent a clear message that you are interested and available.You need to understand the creature. They are nervous that someone they think is great will say no to them and won't take the chance. Make it easy for them .

Answer 6

Honest advice...walk up to a guy you are interested in and just say that...I know it sounds weird, but if an attractive girl walked over to me (I'm 22) and said what you just said, I would have to at least buy her a drink or take her to coffee. I guess it all depends what types of situations you are in too. Is it the "party scene" or are you a "girl next door" type. Are in you a small town or in a big city? What part of the country are you from? I guess it would vary in different areas...

Answer 7

Don't get desperate! There is the right person for everyone of us. You might want to consider what are the exact reasons for your "pickyness". Do you really want someone that is perfect in all aspects - such a person does not exist in the current world we live in.

Try flirting a bit! It works!

Answer 8

If poeple tell u your beutifull than ya hott but, maybe you should try to date someone who's ugly, but u dont want to slap your self on the face. Here write down what you want in a man describe what you want from head to toe, then pray and ask god for what you described and then just wait on god to put you in his path, because if you dont wait on god youll end up with something you wish you never met in your life.

Answer 9

Quit looking for it. Be yourself and quit acting so darn desperate. Just hang out and meet people. It will happen. Before you know it you will be hooked up. Good luck. Drop me a line and I will introduce you around to some good guys.

Answer 10

Don't worry about that. You will get a boyfriend soon or later. Do your daily activities like usually. Maybe there are a men who want to be your boyfriend.
