Is it normal to not have a boyfriend by now?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, what's wrong with me, etc.

I'm certainly not the most attractive person on Earth, but I'm not blindingly ugly. I'm an average-looking girl, I think.

I haven't had a boyfriend. Ever. It makes me feel left out when my other gal pals talk about first/second/etc. kisses and holding hands and how they like it when their boyfriends hold them by their waists.

I have been told that I'm quite intimidating at first but turn out to be kind and even sweet. Maybe it's my style? I guess guys don't like edgy girls?

Maybe it's because I'm not skinny or have big boobs? I have a large frame, but I'm not obese. A tiny bit chunkier than I'd like to be, perhaps.

Or is it because I'm shy? I keep thinking I'm pretty manly and that I'd get along well with guys but I have mostly female friends and I feel nervous talking to guys I don't really know.

How do I make myself more approachable?

    Why do you feel you need a boyfriend? There is nothing wrong with being single at any age. One day you'll meet someone with whom you'll just 'click' until then, you should be focusing on living your life and having fun with your friends.

    • I guess it's just because I feel like something's wrong with me if I don't have one. It just seems normal and some of the girls who do have boyfriends seem so happy. I just want to know if I'll be that happy with a boyfriend, too.

      Thanks for your advice. Yeah. I do hope that I'll meet that person I'll click with in the future (near or far).

  • That's sounds exactly like how I used to be. No joke. I know exactly how you feel. My friends would always say "You don't need a boyfriend." or "You just haven't met the right guy." Seriously it would piss me off, but then I finally realized they were right. I started focusing more on school and work and stopped focusing on the fact that I was single. Then before I knew it I was more comfortable with myself. I started to actually like myself and noticed that other people started to like me too.

    Trust me when I say you don't need a boyfriend to be happy. Just try your best to focus on other things than wanting a relationship. I'm single, but I can honestly say I'm pleased with my life and I have accepted who I am. I'll admit a little more romance in life wouldn't hurt, but I've come to realize it's not what I need to be happy. I hope it's great when it happenou dons, but I'm not going to wait around for it to. I hope you won't either. Hope this helps. Have fun with your life :D

    consider yourself lucky. boyfriends are super annoying and clingy. a few of them are also controlling or try to be.

  • Wear makeup and high heels. So ur frame is large. Do you have nice long legs? Then wear a skirt. Play up what you got and enhance your beauty

    Uh .. that sounds like me .. 2 years ago.. Well, still I'm a bit shy and I'm not that easy going with guys specially cause I tend to be conservative with guys who start joking with me without me even knowing them. But, guess what.. You'll find just the right person in the right time.. which is when you stop wondering about it .. When I remember the first time I met my bf, it was very normal I never even thought of him as being my bf. You'll just feel it. Actually some guys do like you but they never show it :)

    It's not that difficult to make yourself more approachable. Just be nice, listen to other people, smile lots and be interested in what others have to say. I'm a male and some of my biggest crushes are ordinary-looking girls who just happen to be people I can really open up to. Besides, men who only look for physical appearance for long-term partners are dumb asses anyway.

    • Thanks for replying.
      Okay, gotcha.
      Smile, be friendly/nice, listen, and be interested.
      And shallow guys are assholes.
      Alrighty.
