tired of being single
| Sun, 02-15-2004 - 10:31pm |
I am an intelligent, warm, outgoing, and friendly person. I have lots of friends and am involved in many things. While I'm not drop-dead gorgeous, I consider myself reasonably attractive. My problem? I'm 23 years old and have never had a boyfriend. Every time I become attracted to someone, he always tells me he would rather be friends. Although I treasure these friendships, it's starting to get a little discouraging. I've felt that in 23 years of being single, I've really had a chance to learn who I am and become an independent person, but I would really love to share that with someone. I recently had a four-month relationship (the longest I've ever had) with a great guy that I thought would turn into a real relationship, until he told me it was not the right time in his life for a girlfriend. Needless to say, I am devestated. I felt like I got a glimpse of what I've been missing, and then it got taken away from me. Although I'm not looking to get married right now, I am so afraid that this pattern will continue for the rest of my life. What is it about me that makes me the girl friend and never the girlfriend? How can I find a guy who wants a real relationship?

I know how you feel. I am 27 and like you I don't think I am drop dead gorgeous, but I do think I am attractive. I have been in a few dead end relationships. Most of the guys I have been interested in only want to be friends. Annoying and discouraging. Give it time. Some day you will meet the man of your dreams and you'll be glad that you waited. A friend asked me the other day "how many frogs do you want to kiss before you find Prince Charming?" It's true. All those guys will realize what they passed up and realize that they screwed up.
