Why am I still single?

August 27, 2012 3:35am CST
I'm already 27 years old and yet I'm still single. I have the looks, the height the brain. What else should I have to make men fall in love with me. I know I am a shy girl, but i don't want to make the first move to be appreciated by guys. I am conservative girl, and still searching and waiting for the right guy for me.Ive gone through internet to look for a perfect match but then I failed.What should I do in my life? I don't want to be alone forever? Ive already have a boyfriend in my college days, I met him through text,but then our relationship don't last long.And here i am now ,alone,no boyfriend to spend the valentines with.All my friends and classmates before are already married and have their kids. I fell so jealous and sometimes I ask God if he is punishing me? Why? What's wrong with me? As of now I'm still pursuing my college degree, i just focus on my study. I just told myself God made a perfect guy for me .A guy who's willing to accept and loved me.

Your time hasn't come yet. Somewhere, somehow, is somebody who was born just for you. There are people who marry young as well as who marry later which you must be in line with. Meanwhile, anticipate more responses from this discussion you began. Who knows some shy guy will find you here. Just post your best and latest picture. gud luck and happy boy-hunting hehe.

Hello mamaging! Cheer up and don't be so sad cause if you always do that, you won't enjoy your life much. You are not alone in this one and you just have to enjoy life fully and improve yourself more. By thinking positiwve and wearing a smile always, it can help you feel lighter. I believe God has His own time for us to meet our destined one. So He just wants you to enjoy yourself more. Don't feel jealous of your colleagues cause not all of them have happy endings now that they have their families. Time will come for you, just enjoy. Right guy will come when you least expect him. By the way,welcome to mylot. your profile says you're 21, and you confessed you are now 27. My advise is that you have to be true to yourself and to others for it can help you beccome a better person...

yes, annavi23 made a good point. Things won't happen just like that, it's your state of mind that determines your fate. You said that you are a shy girl, come-on we are in 2012, we have to be practical and clear. Human-beings are the only social animal, who has got power to create their destiny. However, man of your's might be getting ready to give you some suprise, wait and see!!!

We can't change the fact that there are still shy ones. I know, it is all part of living and develop our own selves to forget the shyness and release it from us. Of course, men should be the one who gets to move first but women can give motives or movements, right? Yeah, there's always hope, just hold on and don't give up. God has better plans than what we wished for.

Some of us seem to be unlucky in love. I am that way. I am 22 and am chronically finding myself single. Although I meet guys, but I am always too tentative about taking an initiative; I am also pretty shy around most guys and I wait for them to make the first move. But you have to make sure you are sending the right signals. Perhaps that is why guys stay away from you? Either way, you never know when you will meet "the one". There is no right age for everyone. Go on dates. Allow yourself to be 'set up' on blind dates. Continue the online thing. Maybe you could meet as many men as possible just with the intent of meeting new people and having fun. If that person HAPPENS to be "the one" that you fall in love with, then cool. If not, at least you are having a good time and meeting people. I feel like looking for LOVE is so incredibly difficult that you lose track of having fun and making new friends. But don't feel so depressed, too. Surround yourself by people that love you, like your friends and family. At least that way you wont' feel so alone. I know it's not the same as having a boyfriend/lover, but at least it's something.

Don't worry about that girl. I also ask the same questions sometimes though I'm still 22. But you know what they say, we shouldn't look for love because love will find us in the right time. Don't blame being conservative for being single. Being conservative is after all a good thing. It is rare to find girls who are conservative and not so aggressive. If I were just a guy, I would want to find someone conservative too.

Are you choosy when it comes to guy? I think you don't have to hurry and stress yourself if you don't have any boyfriend. Just take your time. Enjoy your single life first while waiting for the perfect guy. Who knows, maybe you'll meet him tomorrow or he's one of the mylotters here? Don't blame God too, maybe he is still searching for the perfect guy that won't hurt you, or maybe He wanted for you to meet that guy in the perfect place and timing. Be patient. :) 27 is never too late. Good luck.

I think constantly worrying about why your single is part of the reason you are still single. If you are spending so much time thinking about it and feeling that you have everything to offer and that the men you meet should fall for you, people may be able to pick up on things like that, and it could unfortunately turn them away. Also, you didn't say much about what you were doing in terms of looking for a partner. For instance, if you spend most of your time home alone, that is no way to meet someone special. Instead go out and try new things, find hobbies and go to different clubs and meetings, socialise with friends and take full advantage of the internet. This way you will be so busy having fun, but at the same time you will be able to meet all kinds of new people, and instead of you just thinking you have it all, people will be able to see that themselves from your actions and your fun loving personality. Try to take the pressure off yourself because it seems to make you miserable, and being jealous of friends isn't an attractive quality at all. Try to be happy for them. Like I said above people can sense these things from you, so as well as having brains, looks and height, your also showing misery, jealousy and self pity. Don't risk turning Mr(s) right away because s(he) sees you cant be happy for you own friends. Enjoying life and being around lots of new people is a much healthier and happier way for you to get to your goal.

wow anix101 you hit the nail right on the head. I agree with you, quit looking and start living, and yes people can pick up on that. People can tell when others are desperate when it comes to relationship. Forget about finding mister right let him find you.

In God's plan, in His time. God has plan for all of us and we follow it. His time is the perfect time. Don't think too much of why you don't have a partner with life yet. Think of how could you productive and be useful as a human being with your status now. If you would be reading more, you'll find out that in today's generation a lot of men or women get serious about relationships and settling down at the age of 30 or more. And also the higher the education the later they get tied up. In life we don't compare our fate to others or else we'll have a lot of questioning to God. It's your choice how you would respond to situations. I for one, had a serious relationship after I turned 30, got married before 35 and now a mom at 35. I am happy that I am not the trial and error in the relationship. Be productive and just keep yourself open and ready not too obvious, the right partner will come along.

I think that you still have time to find the right guy. I was 5 years older than you when I got married, and at that time most of my friends had already been married for years. I don't think that there is anything wrong with you at all. You haven't found the right guy yet, but that doeesn't mean that he isn't going to show up in the future. You don't know what waits around the next corner. You could meet him before you think or it could take longer, but one day you will probably meet him. You wrote that you didn't manage to find the perfect match on the internet, but you could try again and maybe you will succeed the second time. I failed twice when I was looking for love online, but the third time I met my husband and today we have been married for 3 years.

You should try to join your other friends in going to different places so you can meet new people. Sometimes, you really have to get out of your comfort zone to be able to achieve your goal. In your case, you want a boyfriend and hopefully settle down sometime soon. Enjoy life as it is. Being single is your opportunity in making a brighter future for you and your future family. You do not have to look for love. Let love find you.

Hello, just wait for your prince, I know he's just there. I know that you are excited to meet the man who will be with you forever, the man who will love you for the rest of his life. I am also waiting for that man to come, while waiting I am enjoying my life to the fullest. Maybe some boys are just intimidated because you have everything. Maybe you should mingle with friends and some of them might introduce you to some men who might be interested with you. I respect that you are a conservative person, but it is ok to get acquainted with some men, who knows? he's just there waiting to be introduced ;).
