Thread: 24 and Still Single?

An afternoon at a spa sounds like the order of the day for you.. A bit of pampering.. If the expense is a deterrent.. How about your circle of friends having a glamour party. You need to feel beautiful within, and it will present itself outwardly to others. Honestly!!!!
Think a moment.. when you are happy, smiling, and laughing others join in..

And say, Yes! the next time a friend or other asks to take you out.. Even if it goes no further, it is some time out with another..

As for your friends not doing enough to help... Sometimes, it is awkward to step in and help with that kind of situation. Have you ever mentioned to them what characteristics you look for in a gent..?
When you are out with your friends and their gents where do you go..? And do you socialize with men when you are there with your friends..? If not.. Why..?

You lack self-confidence and i bet it's obvious to men.There are things that can make you feel better about yourself,though.You can look for tips in order to get rid of the circles bellow your eyes, eat healthier if you don't, dress a little more elegant, get a new haircut...stuff like this.Then u can take up a hobby,there are some for free and there u can meet interesting people.Stop beeing confused about it.If u have not been on a date while most people have at your age,it's because you have rejected some guys that your friends would't if they were you.Maybe you're too demanding but that's not always something negative because you're just waiting for someone "right".Don't be upset about your friends having more experience than you, i can feel a touch of jealousy and that's not healthy.You shouldn't think about what other people do,don't compare yourself to others.Everyone is different.Relax!
Put on your favourite outfit and get out to have some fun.Don't get easily disapointed, try to find someone you're interested in and talk to him.

Don't look for dates as such, just try to spend time doing things you enjoy with people you like. You say that you turned down some "dates" because you saw someone "as a friend". In what way were they a good friend, but would be a bad date?

Thanks everyone for your advice!

Olympia, when I'm with my friends, we usually meet guys at bars. Whatever else we're doing (shopping, movies, dinners, cafes) don't usually result in meeting guys. They definitely know the characteristics I like in a guy, but I think it may be awkward for them to try to set me up or suggest someone to me? I do try to socialize with guys but they are definitely more interested in my friends, it's no lie. Also, I can't go on a date with someone I'm not attracted to -I would feel like I am leading the person on. Some of the guys have turned into friends because we did group things and my feelings haven't changed -they're just friends.

idon't, I definitely lack self-confidence and I'm trying to work on it. I don't like being hurt and it's happened more times than I'd prefer (I have been rejected the times I've asked a guy out). I have looked for tips about the dark circles but it seems like only makeup is the fix. I also work out, am socially active and eat really healthy so I guess it's my personality that needs to change? And you're right, maybe my friends would have dated the guys I rejected so... I wonder if waiting for the right person to date is a bad thing? And will this right person ever come? There were definitely guys I would have dated if they were interested in me as well, so something is off.

rcoreyus, I could never lead on someone that I don't feel attracted to, and that's what makes the good friend a bad date. I don't want to ruin my friendship.
