25.tall. blonde. funy & smart. how am i single?

As of recently, I have been finding it very frustrating that I am still single. [I've only had 1 serious relationship, which ended over a year ago]

I know everyone will always describe themselves as such a great person - so I don't mean to sound cliche, but here goes:
I am generally a very likable person. I am friendly, easy going, funny, intelligent and attractive ...but lately I have noticed that I have a hard time striking up conversation with men I find attractive when I am out. I'm not sure whether I am sending out weird vibes, but I just don't get it. Why don't I attract anyone?

So my main question is this: How is it that I am still single? I am an an attractive young female -- is it normal to have such difficulty finding a boyfriend?

    Women have spent the last 100 years trying to become equal to men. Guess what? They succeeded. Women now have more or less the same salary (sometimes even higher), they can vote, etc. You're social equals to men.

    So why in the name of $DEITY are you still waiting for guys to ask you out!?! Worst case, you get a guy who is currently taken and/or completely uninterested in you. So you get rejected. Big whoop. Now you know why guys have a hard time asking girls out. Swallow your pride and try again. The law of large numbers says that eventually you'll find someone.

    Then again, I probably shouldn't be commenting, because I haven't actually had a girlfriend yet, and am a virgin in every sense of the word.

    tl;dr: If men aren't coming to you, go to them.

    To answer your first question: Because you're picky. You know you could get a boyfriend if you really didn't want to be single.

    Perfectly Normal. If I'd guess, I'd say you just haven't relaxed enough when around men you find attractive. Simple work to get a man. You describe yourself as a pretty attractive person, I think that alone will raise your chance of getting a guy quite alot.
    Step 1: Dress well but comfortable, if you feel uneasy or just sore or somthing like that, you're not dressed right.
    Step 2: light makeup, if your eyeliner is too dark then you look like a whore. If your lipstick is too bright, you look sexy but not in a way to get a good guy.
    Step 3: Go to a bar or other place often used by men to find a women. They will go to you.
    Step 4: Drink just a little(half a glass). This calms yourself so you relax easily no matter who you talk to or who talks to you. It also makes men notice your drink and occasionally buy you a refill/ 2nd glass.
    Step 5: your on your own. Thats all I got. Sorry if this doesnt work, this advice worked for my sis but I don't know if it works for all.

    In life guys are easy to find but hard to get. Yes it's difficult to discover a nice guy from the crowd. When your single you end up wondering what happened and what's going wrong, what is he not into me? well truth is even the attractive girls have hard times baggin a guy so news is you will too yet since you are so "striking" as to your desciption, you should have no worry's and trouble finding someone, just need to find a decent someone and that takes time so enjoy being single, eating chocolate, dancing in your home on your pjs because eventually you'll be in the spotlight and he'll see you... hope this helps

    Im a guy, and I have a feeling your one of those good looking people, Its odd but average looking people have a MUCH easier time finding what they are looking for. To be completely honest here, from a guys perspective, if a girl is very pretty, I wont even bother, heck I wont even look at her because I don't want to feed her ego, I feel as if these girls are just out to see how much attention they can get, and thats the exact type of person I can not stand. When I can tell someone is a little too confident, it turns me away instantly. To me its a warning sign that these girls are expecting guys to fall at their feet because they are so full of themselves. Today people are very shallow, especially in certain areas like Orange County Ca. I stay away from girls who appear to try too hard, if it looks like they spent 2 hours getting "done up" then I stay way clear of that, I want a real person who doesnt center their lives around looking good. Maybe you give off the Im too good for all you chumps vibe, or maybe you are trying way to hard to get done up for the night. Those are the 2 biggest turn offs for me, and I would consider myself good looking, I just don't use it as an advantage to get what I want, and thats all the difference in the world, it tells a lot about a person.
    Good Luck

      that's really bitter and passive-agressive. i'm glad your staying away from them though.

      Addition: Money is kind of like looks, when a rich person flaunts their money by wearing expensive designer cloths, and driving luxury cars and paying extra to park in the front of valet so their car is seen, those people come across as weak to me, they lack real self confidence and probably have more issues as well.

      The rich person who doesn't flaunt it, and wears regular comfortable cloths and acts like an everyday Joe is the one who is strong on the inside, they don't feel any need to show off or use it to their advantage as they are comfortable with themselves, and thats a good sign.

      In this example, wealth and good looks are interchanged, the principals seem the same though, if someone is showing off their good looks, well then you do the math, if someone is attractive but not taking advantage of it they are the ones that attract me. Just food for thought

    I find that tall girls dislike dating shorter men. Being tall puts you at a statistical disadvantage if you are one of these girls. Consider being a rebel and going out with a shorter guy if this is you.

    Two possibilities:

    1- You actually might not be as great as you think you are
    2- You are really, really desperate for a serious relationship, and men can smell it and flee

    Because you worry too much. If you lead a great life, then there'll be plenty of men willing to share their lives with you.

    I agree with greggy. My very good friend has the same problem. She is 29 just finished her residency as oncologist. Tall, beautiful, witty and charming. Yet she hasn't had a boyfriend in years. She's anxious about it, but she gets approached and fixed up with guys all the time. Her standards are high, as they should be. But the old saying is true- you have to kiss a few frogs to find the prince. She also has the height issue. And single, handsome, tall guys (with all the other attributes she seems to require) are scarce these days.

    Try to be approachable and relax. Go out with guys who may not be your type. It helps you meet people and will give you a nice confidence boost in the meantime.

    I believe you never find a great guy when you are always looking for one. It's like we give off a vibe. Be approachable, but try not to scope the room or be aggressive. Sorry to the Womens Lib commentor, but the fact is guys like to chase, not be chased.

    Also a warning-- because of your description of yourself, you might find yourself prey to the arrogant "players" just looking for a trophy. Always be careful of those types, as it seems once they get one trophy, they often are looking for the next one.

    You will absolutely find a great guy when you least expect it. So relax, give the other guys a chance, and keep your that confident self image you have.

    You need to go to the right places, I guess. Men are traditionally more active while for women, love can be brutally statistical. If you join a club where there are 100 single men, statistically at least one of them will come up to you and ask you out on a date if you are nice and friendly enough to everyone. You'll find love, there's no doubt about it. You just need to "advertise" yourself a little more.

    Here are some techniques (just for fun):

    1) When you talk to men, slip in your single status casually somewhere in the conversation to show them that you're available ("Being the single woman that I am, I have some free time to pursue my interests and hobbies")

    2) You don't have to be agressive but you can always present opportunities ("I've always wanted to go watch this film, but I couldn't find anyone to go with me <hint, hint>")

    3) Get them to open up about their feelings, they really like that and they will feel like they can talk to you ("Awww, how did you feel when your cat/dog/lizard/turtle died?")

    Just for fun really, there's no harm exploring some of these methods and see what reaction you get. More importantly, have fun in the process!

    This question may be crass, but I will ask it because it's better to be brutally honest: Are you overweight?
