I am a 24-year-old who has been single for almost two years. I have only been on one date in that time and it didn't progress because I wasn't interested in the guy. I am a pretty, intelligent, nice person with good friends and a wonderful family. I'm a graduate student and a hard worker. You'd think I'd be okay.
Thing is, I tend to be shy around guys. I hate flirting - it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like an idiot doing it. I will never meet someone in a bar - it's not my scene. I don't want to meet someone who just wants sex, either. I want someone who truly cares about me. But I am out of ways to meet people. There is no one at school. All my friends are dating, so we don't go out to "meet guys". Instead, I end up home on weekend nights while they go out with their men.
I've been told I'm picky, but if I'm not interested in someone, I'm not interested in them - I'm not going to force it.
I'm beginning to think I'll be single forever.
Advice?

You have the love. It's inside you waiting for the right person. Don't waste it on just anyone. You say that you're intelligent, prove it. Chill out. I've been single and happy for over 10 years after a bad marriage. I am so not looking for anyone to complete me...as the lame saying goes. Why do so many women feel that their lives are not worth living if they don't have a guy? And most of them have guys that cheat on them anyway. Be your own best friend. Learn to have fun and appreciate yourself. If you really love yourself, other people will want to share that love with you. If you're constantly worrying and desperate, they'll stay away from you like you have the plague.

I'm in the exact same boat as you. 20. Been about 2 years for me as well. I'm kinda shy and am not really comfortable going up to people and meeting them. I know how it feels being "all alone' your friends are dating, school people seem focused on school, and alot of guys are just plain jerks. But someone will eventually come by that really does cherish you and will treat you like the world if you stay the way you are. Guys would kill for a girl who is loyal, faithful, and truly cares. At least I would. Anyways if you want 2 talk 2 someone or need a friend shoot me an e-mail and I'd be more than happy. :-)

omg me too, me too, I think I am going to be single forever, there is just no one that meets my standards. I have wasted like at least 10 yrs of my life on bums. I am in college now so I am too busy anyways..so I am not as bummed out about being single as you sound cause I am sooo busy. But I do understand what you are saying..and I have thus concluded that the only true love is self love. Be true to you that is all you can do.

Try to go on out with your friends and see if they can fix you up. Just getting out may be good for you. Let them know that you are just looking for a friend for starters.
