Is it normal to be 30 and never had a boyfriend?

Just turned 30, never had a boyfriend... I am attractive and happy, have a degree, am smart and funny... Am I too picky or is it just not my time??? I have dated some great guys, but, never for more than 6 months or so.. mostly, they go in a new direction which usually is super serious after that.. I am the Good Luck Chuck of the ladies land... Thoughts....

Is It Normal?

  • If you want a serious boyfriend then u need to get over your committment issues.

  • I agree with posters who say that a boyfriend counts at 6 months. You have had a boyfriend, you may not have had a serious one because you didn't feel it was serious but they might have seeing they stuck around that long. I think you are wondering why you aren't married at 30? If you can't be serious with a guy that most likely will never happen.

  • you first say you've "NEVER" had a boyfriend, then later admit to being in relationships with some guys for as long as 6 months. Wouldn't those be considered boy friends?

    To the difficulties; perhaps you are sending the wrong signals to guys? For the most part, men are still expected to approach women they have interest in and if a woman is acting in ways that most men may interprete as her being uninterested, they might refocus their energies on a different lady. You may want to try reading up on flirtation and ways to attract the opposite sex. Whatever information you gather, if it does not feel genuine and likely to come out of you when you are "in the zone", will probably come across as superficial if you try them in relationships.

    Perhaps the most important part of the puzzle will be attracting the guys your way. Since you describe yourself as happy and attractive, this should not be a problem with a little elbow grease thrown in there. Next, you need to work on that fear of commitment you mentioned earlier.

    best of luck to you!

  • Yeah you sound normal. Maybe you just haven't found the right person yet. It takes a different amount of time for each one of us.

    I'm 22 and I also haven't had a proper boyfriend. I went out with one guy when I was 17 and it was for a month. I think my problem is I'm too shy. Hopefully the right one is there for me someday but I'm not in a rush. For the moment I just enjoy life.

  • You almost answered you own question, you imply there are guys you've dated for 6 months, and later say you reject them because they want to get serious. Maybe intellectually you want a boyfriend, but emotionally you are clearly not prepared for one.

  • I didnt have a boyfriend until I was 28, we got married a year later.

  • Are you making it clear to the new guys in your life that you are looking for a long term relationship and commitment, not just serial dating?

    I think you have to kick things up to the next level or split sooner. Six months of dating and you can't call them a boyfriend? Thats not right.
