men are mostly attracted to looks, unfortunately. If you're not conventionally attractive, you may never get a chance. Fix yourself up (hair,makeup,clothes,etc) as best as you can, then go out and meet people.

I didn't start dating until I was 27. I started with online dating because i was shy, had lots of dates, but you have to be careful with jumping in too soon, just take your time and make sure the person you are dating is worthy of your affections if you go that far. I think you must start with yourself first, you need to get confidence in yourself, do things you enjoy, be outgoing, force yourself to talk to people, meet people on a friendly terms rather than potential dating terms, you will more likely to be yourself then. You are not inadequate, just probably in a bubble, you need to work on your communication with people, forcing that muscle to chat, it hurts yes, but you learn, how are they going to read you if you are a closed book? Talk to everyone - networking is important - be choosy, don't go for the first thing that comes along. Love yourself, be yourself, enjoy yourself, FLIRT!!! Above all keep it real, don't change because you want to impress someone, you have a right to be you, and don't project your dreams on someone else, keep it realistic. Enjoy!

Firstly, time is sooooo not running out. I am 52 and have just been dropped back into the dating pool! So if it's not too late for me!..........
Don't try too hard with any one person, just put yourself in a place where you are going to meet people and be patient. There is no secret to it..it is just a matter of confidence in who you are.
Confident people are naturally attractive, much more so than any amount of make up can do!

You're 23 - time is not running out, you're a mere babe! I'm 36 and single after having several failed relationships (some good, some awful!) and a string of dates that never go anywhere.
You have years ahead of dating and stuff. Get out there, make new friends and you never know what is around the corner. Good luck

Time is NOT running out! You're so young still and the last thing you want to do is get tied down forever for the sake of it, there is someone for everyone out there and it can be difficult to meet people, you should be yourself and be proud of who you are, guys like confident girls! Dont get downhearted I'm sure there's someone for you and you'll meet them eventually, just enjoy spending time doing things you enjoy and DONT worry about it!

don't try too hard!! be the natural you, don't put on an act to impress guys, just be you and i promise you will get noticed. it always happens when you least expect it, and this is because if you go out looking for a guy then you have a bit of a desperate/look at me look about you, but if you go out just to have a good time and see what happens then guys will be more likely to notice you as you're enjoying yourself and aren't worried about meeting guys.
hope that made sense lol, and just remember to be yourself and it will happen when you least expect it to.

do you consider yourself attractive? If so just be confident and soon someone will approach you. You may have to do yourself up a bit and show off your assets to get that initial attention then from there on in just play it cool.
