I've never had a boyfriend and I don't go out so how am I suppose to meet someone? I don't do online dating and I suffer from anxiety. Men always stare at me when I'm out, but they never approach is it because I give off an aloof vibe. Not trying to be conceited but I think I'm very attractive and I have a nice body, but I also have low self esteem. Is that even possible. Do people wonder why an attractive person is single. Do you think there is something wrong with them.

Practice on social situations, get a little confident in yourself, and go for the guy you like. I know it's hard, but you can do it.

You sound just like me my whole life especially this - Do people wonder why an attractive person is single. Do you think there is something wrong with them. LOLololol..

You most likely are giving off an aloof vibe. PLUS the anxiety. What solved my prob is that at age 38 I just felt a void in my life and decided to try online dating- which I intentionally avoided coz I'm 1 of those people that thinks ALL people online are criminals of some sort.

Then I found out I'm hot commodity to date. So if you really think you're attractive then the only way to meet people is thru online. At least it also is for me since I also was a hermit.

work on the basics first, holding a conversation and approaching others/being approached. Take it from there step by step and you'll work towards having a boyfriend/Significant Other. Remember these things don't happen over night, they take years of progress and work. You're going to make mistakes along the way but thats alright, things happen and just pick up the pieces from there. Being quirky isn't always a bad thing. Just give it a try even though it may make you feel awkward. My theory is: "You never know until you try."

You sound just like me. Although I've tried online AND in real life, nothing has worked for me. So I've given up. I have accepted that there IS no one out there for me.

It's a good idea to try online dating all you need to write is you're just interested in making friends and see what life may bring and post a picture. It'd be a good idea to message men you don't find attractive and build friendship you will build your self esteem and give yourself a ego boost. Be honest with guys that you are trying to make friends don't lead them only to crush their hopes later. Don't give out your number just because they are nice only give your number to men you want to get to know better. Good luck and be safe

Very possible to have low self esteem and I think very common, when you are good looking. It sounds like your looks are not the problem, it is your anxiety. Do you go to school or work where there are a lot of men around? Sometimes it is helpful to know people in a different way rather than just jumping into a dating a stranger. Or you could go online, you could email people who write you and eventually meet someone for coffee, this will build your confidence and help with your anxiety. Small steps. And no, you are not doomed to be alone. We all have a destiny and a hand in how that plays out. Good luck pretty girl.

Eh. It'll happen. You're young and you're an attractive girl by your own words, so it's only a matter of time.

Yeah I'm scared to put myself out there and I don't really want to do online dating. I don't want my picture out there for people to see.
