I'm 27 and never had a boyfriend. Has anyone else found love after an experience like this?

I'm 27 and have never had a boyfriend. I was a late bloomer because I had strict parents so when I first started dating, I had no dating skills and would get rejected. When I learned how to properly date, guys would be interested yet, I chose to be single instead because I didn't feel it was fair to be in a relationship with them if I didn't like them enough / see a future with them. I felt it was better to be single and keep searching than to settle or be with someone for the sake of being with someone.

But then I think of those people who just meet the right one without even trying--those people who meet them early on.

I'm tired of forcing it. I sometimes get dressed and go somewhere to meet men but then get very sad when I go home that day and didn't meet anyone I liked enough--I'm not even picky. But I'm just tired of forcing it, chasing it, looking for it.

I feel comfortable enough in my self and my life that I can be happy without anyone--I feel at peace being single but sometimes I think that it would be nice to have a romantic interest that appreciates me for all I am--it's ego driven yes, but I would.

Has anyone ever experienced being single their whole life and then found someone? Will you please share your experience?
