Why have I never felt love or was in a relationship despite everyone saying that I'm such a catch?

[Anonymous]

I'm a 25 yo, successful, attractive, easygoing, kind girl with a great sense of humor (that s what people say) yet I have never experienced reciprocated feelings in my life, I get approached by guys but it never leads to a relationship , whenever i show the slightest interest they lose it , It's really affecting my selfesteem (I tried both ways : not acting needy and showing interest right away and expressing myself and showing my interest but both didn't work for me) does anyone have an explanation for this?

Finding the right person takes time. It’s not you maybe it’s just your surroundings and social circle? Perhaps try to put yourself out there more, don’t be really shy but it’s okay to not have a big circle either, totally depends on you but I’ve made quite a few good friends from just opening up more at work and public events sometimes, I don’t have a boyfriend either but hey it’s a start. I’m sure someone is out there for you.

Maybe trying too hard? Maybe chill out. Hang out. Make friends (including lots of girls, but also guys).

impossible to say. Maybe you could try some kind of therapy.

How many men do you count as friends?
