I never had a boyfriend in my entire 28-old-life. Is this normal?
Hey don't seat it I'm also 28 but Ive never had a girlfriend and i never got laid either.
i too never had a bf, and i'm 31. look, i certainly have issues, and i am very picky when looking at men on dating services. i can't help that, i don't wanna settle. i disagree with people saying " oh, if you're that age just go out with anyone, doesn't matter". just because we're at more advanced age doesn't mean we gotta lower our standards, our expectations. but i totally understand your frustration, as i feel it too.
It's uncommon, but there's nothing wrong with you. Talk to some girls you trust your own age [but don't let them dress you up in anythingyoure uncomfortable with], or older women for help. Older women will be more old fashioned and accomodating.
You just need to have a little self esteem. Men love confidence. ;) Youll find yourself a good man.
hey i enjoy being single sheva is a blooming idiot you are not ugly just because your single and theres nothing wrong with being a little shy. plus i've seen some really ugly snobby bitches walking around with there nasty ass boyfriends. i never wanna date. i would much rather hang out with my friends.
Well I know I know a 24 year old who has never had a relationship so I don't know if its normal or not but it can't be because your ugly or shy. I mean it could be that you just have low self esteem and have insecurities thats all.
its normal.
i think the previous two people who commented are idiots!
male escort service??? thats pathetic!
and "NO its NOT! it means either your simply ugly or your shy and dont got confidence."
oh yh, great advice.
i'm 17 myself and hav friends that are 17 and hav never been in a r.ship which looks even worse than being 28 and not having one.
i think you've gotten used to not tryin to get someone and need to get back out there and pull!
You have one of 4 problems:
1. You are ugly.
2. You have a bad attitude.
3. You are too picky when it comes to men.
4. There's nothing wrong with you, but nobody knows you exist so get out there.
Figure out which problem is yours then go try to fix it.
I'm 22 and I've never had an actual formal relationship.
Pretty normal.
OR
lesbian.
^_^
Nothing wrong with that...
but not in that misogynistic macho douche-y frat boy way.
In the, "I'm a gay guy and there aren't enough homosexuals out there!" way...
Im 28 too and am in the same situation! It is so frustrating, because I am a nice, kind, giving person and I feel like men overlook me for whatever reason... I admit it may be bc of my looks- I'm very tall ( 5 foot ten and a half) and am not conventionally pretty. But I keep myself in good shape, and always dress well and wear makeup and do my hair nicely, so I'm not sure why I haven't been approached by too many guys. Tried online dating- have not had much luck so far, but haven't given up on it altogether. Trust me you are not alone. I have a few friends in the same boat and they are actually my nicest, mature friends. Who knows why men don't prefer mature women anymore? They seem to go for the superficial. But you know, I think in the end we are better off because Gd willing we will wait maybe a little longer but will wind up in better relationships. Don't give up= be your beautiful self and the right one will come! And realize you're definitely not alone!
Please ignore some of the offensive, silly comments, in my view this is completely normal!! Maybe you haven't met the right person yet, or you are just looking for the best and this is FINE, trust me, you are completely normal, do not worry but if you are finding it difficult maybe you could research dating websites. I suggest this only because they are useful and there has been success through them, I may use one myself one day. Good luck with love, all the best :)
it is normal, but ask yourself why!
if you want a boyfriend start working on the reasons that kept you a way from a ealatioship and you'll definitly have one :)
Of course it is. :)
If you prefer not to have relationships, as they are sometimes a problem, it's perfectly normal. It's your life. Choose however you want it. If you don't want to, you don't have to. :)
You didn't indicate you wanted one. I will assume you do.
Any moderately attractive 28 YO girl should have no problem attracting men.
Being shy is not it, many men can converse and hold up the other end of the conversation, and the shy one opens up.
Occasionally I meet a women who gives subtle put downs and maybe is slightly condescending, etc.
Certain personality aspects that completely disinterest me. Maybe you are driving men away for wtfever reason.
Next failed courtship incident simply ask him. Tell the man that you are not good with men relationship wise and what are you doing wrong? Ask for the truth - you won't get mad, etc. I did this at one point in my life and got the answers I DEFINITELY NEEDED. Might work for you too. What's to loose?
I tend to overlook obvious solutions at work and at play!
You know, this is pretty good advice. You may be giving off messages, due to your anxiety for example, that are being read as something else.
Thats normal - but you are not happy about it. So talk with some gfs and see what they say. Otherwise you are just going to have to put yourself out there. The reason you don't have a bf is that one way or another you are not available.
I don't think this is a situation that is either "normal" or "not normal." It simply is. If it's really bothering you though, just try to figure out why you haven't been in a relationship. Intimacy or commitment issues? Low self esteem? Unrealistic expectations? That last one, I only mention because sometimes people subconsciously come up with these expectations as a way to avoid engaging in some relationship.
And what if the situation is reversed? I am 28 and have never had a girlfriend... Never had sex and had only one kiss my entire life... Will it scare you off, girls, from having a relationship with me? Will you think of me as of an undiscovered gem or rather someone with whom something is dreadfully wrong? And, guys, anyone has had a similar situation? Any insight you could have on this would be very helpful.
You bunch of freaks!! How dare you say this girl is ugly, you dont even know her, you have no clue!
Ok.. to the girl who is 28 and has never had a boyfriend, this is normal, it doesnt mean to say you are weird in any way, there are alot of women nowadays that havent got men, and they just choose to be single.. not forever! But not now! The only reason they go out and try to get men, is because weirdos like above say all this nasty shit, that the girl gets desperate and thinks she 'HAS' to get herself a fella! Dont listen to the morons love, if you dont want a boyfriend, there is no problem! Go out and have fun being single, but dont do anything stupid :D
Wait are you a girl that wants a boyfriend or a boy that wants a boyfriend?
Some people just don't really think about it or make it a priority in their lives. Pretty normal.
no problem with it. BUT THE MAJORITY OFF THE WORLD ARE EVIL and will probably say its not normal. i like typing evil
probably.. if you feel so bad about it, maybe you could try a male escort service
Well clearly you need to grow up. Just because someone hasn't had a boyfriend doesn't mean they're ugly or anything like that.
It is normal. Some people just haven't found the right person. It's different for each one of us. I'm 22 and I've never had a proper boyfriend either. I just haven't really found anyone that suits me yet.
well they might just not have wanted to be with someone. so don't judge them.
Sheva you must be the ugly/shy one, by going on saying these silly comments, about someone you dont even know, You're very low and sad!
