Why can't I find a boyfriend?
87% Normal
7 Comments

I know a lot of people ask this, and all my friends say that I've just been unlucky, but I guess I would just like a broader consensus.
I'm 21 and I have never had a boyfriend. I just don't understand what is wrong. I am not the best looking girl, but I'm pretty above average, I'm short, but not that short. I'm a little heavy for my height, but I'm toned and I exercise a lot. I am intelligent, I'm confident and I work/study hard, but I'm still lots of fun and extroverted. I admit I can be aggressive, but only about my academics and career. I don't understand what's wrong because I am a very social person, I join clubs and try out new things wherever I go, it's not like I don't like guys or something and I am open to dating and all. But guys never seem to be interested in me or ask me out.
I don't understand what's going on here because I'm not a clingy or shy person but I'm also not overly aggressive with guys. Can you provide me with some advice? Are guys intimidated by the fact that I'm an intelligent, motivated and ambitious woman? Am I too fat? Or do I just not notice when guys are interested?
Do you think it's normal?

have you considered making the first move? beacuse most guys are quite shy in trying to pick up a women, because we are not all testosterone filled airhead, sometimes we just need a little help to get the ball rolling, and i'm speaking from my experiences.
Aww. I'll be your boyfriend baby :)

You seem to be a perfectly normal girl.

Why do you want a boyfriend so bad? I suggest that you continue your studies and become something first. All you'll get out of dating right now is a slow down in your education. Take the time to figure out what you want in life then work fom there.

But if you still want him, then I think you should start making the first move and see where it takes you. Don't fall for those men that just want to take you to their rooms at the end of the night. If he starts the conversation first, he is most likely interested. Also, if he asks for your number, that's a blatantly obvious h is interested.

Bottom line is, some people are born with the art of flirting and some are not. Google search some signs that he is interested and go from there.

I hope you find him. It's a cold world out there and not too many good men are left. But choose wisely and you might get a prince.

I hope this helps you out.

Side note: from how you describe yourself, I think your a really nice girl too hang out with. You seem to be fun and ambitious. Don't worry you'll find him soon.
I think your friends are right - luck. But you could tip the scales in your favour by taking the initiative with someone you like.
im 29/male/still virgin. i have approached thousands of woman from the age of 18. still no date, no number, no kiss. im gonna turn 30 next month. but im still trying. the right one will come, so to speak ;). stay golden ponyboy
one of my friends is absolutely gorgeous, and she's funny and smart, but never had a boyfriend ever. and she doesn't understand why she doesn't.

i think she scares guys. like guys are like intimidated by her beauty. i think you might have something like that.
I suggest that you take the initiative (wich sometimes isn't such a good idea)but you can still try. Maybe it's just faith and faith dosn't want you taken just yet. Don't worry, by the way that you describe yourself you will find a great guy, if it dsnt work out for you , just let time handle it.
Besides; you could finish your studies and then worry about that, maybe you will have more luck when your less stressed (if it is the case)..
you are my hero...
I love you... in a heterosexual way.
