Search Results: family problems

28F, I have had no luck on dating apps for the years I’ve been on and off them. I dated someone briefly for a few months back when I was 23, it just wasn’t a good experience. Since then I refuse to settle for anyone again, I think I am genuinely unlucky. I was bullied as a kid up to HS, some of my family wasn’t any better. I struggled with my weight & when I was 23 I lost a good amount of it, I’m the same weight now for the most part. I didn’t get any more attention, weight loss results in a lot of attention for people. You’d think as a woman it’s easier & I think it is for most but not me. Funny thing is I’m told I’m cute/attractive by people (not only by family) but guys never approach me in person. I’m not a friendly person which is why I use the apps, I get matches but in the end it doesn’t work out for all the reasons you can think of. I told myself at 26 if I’m in the same position we have a problem, 2 years later & I think it’s time to throw the towel. I think for a while I’ve become more & more disinterested in using them too, maybe I go through phases? Most people are taken, married & have kids at my age, it’s not meant to be if it hasn’t happened for me yet in my opinion.

Do you think they're right? Just say what you think.

I'm 23 and never had a boyfriend, no sex, nothing past a peck on the lips. Not even a proper romantic kiss.

The problem is my type just isn't common (not saying I'm into "tall and muscular men" only, that's not true at all) but I'm more of an old fashioned type of gal. I've always wanted a "gentleman" whether that sounds silly or not and lookswise he's gotta look manly but neat.

Anyways, please feel free to comment and vote. Thanks!
