Is there something wrong with me?

[Anonymous]

I’m a 28 year old woman and never had a boyfriend, first kiss nor sex. I’ve been on a few dates and have tried the apps but it seems like guys either don’t like me or things just fizzle out at some point. Is there something wrong with me that no one wants to date me? I’m pretty normal, a little overweight but nothing extreme. I’m very into sports and love to go to games. I can be shy and find it hard to talk to new people I don’t know sometimes but I’ve been trying to push myself and branch out. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Aw don't be so hard on yourself! I'm sure there's nothing wrong with you at all. Dating and finding the right person can be tough, especially these days with all the apps and options out there.

Honestly it might just be that you're an introvert surrounded by extroverts. Some guys might see you as "shy" and think that means you're not interested, when really you just need some time to warm up to people. As long as you keep putting yourself out there and trying to meet new people through friends or shared interests like sports, I'm sure you'll find someone who appreciates you for you.

It also doesn't help that dating standards are pretty messed up these days. Don't compare yourself to all the superficial hookup crap - those guys usually aren't looking for something real anyway. You seem like a catch to me - loyal, likes sports, knows what she wants. Keep staying true to yourself, trying new things, and your person will come. Chin up, you've got this!

I’m 26 never had a boyfriend. I’m told by guys I’m pretty and nice, boys show interst to me & want date me & attracted to me but no boy asks to be my boyfriend.

I think I have to ask boys myslef for a label as no guy will ever do it.

im shy too but I always talk to the boys I like.

On dating app I tell guys I have no boyfriend as no guy asks to be my bf… then they say do u want be my girlfriend? LOL

If you find it hard to talk to new people that’s going to hold you back from finding guys to date and making new friends. Losing weight and focusing on your health would be a benefit.


Have you asked friends to help set you up on a date? Best to avoid the dating apps. You can better meet someone at church or a repeated community activity like rock climbing groups

You are doing everything right and I wish I was young so I could grab you up. It's the times. Men are afraid of women because they ruin their lives. If you have a male friend tell them you want to kiss. See if it turns into something. Maybe you have been putting too much pressure to kiss someone that you never did. Maybe you over looked people that you could have kissed.

No. I didn't have a girlfriend or even properly date until my late 20s
