I have thought about this issue for quite sometime. I was hoping that I would have a husband or a long-term boyfriend by now, because I really want to have a family, but it hasn't happened. Should I just accept that I will be single and won't have children? I'm very introverted and find it difficult to meet people.
A male friend of mine was desperate for a partner.
He went OLD. Had a few hits, a few misses. He also dated IRL friends but nothing ever "took".
I saw him yesterday with a lady for the second time. They looked adorable together, very very happy and well suited. They met online.
She thinks he's lovely (which he is) and the sentiment is returned.
It can work if you're patient and give it time.
I had another friend who literally used to cry on my shoulder that she would NEVER meet someone or have children. She was 43 at the time. She went OLD and they have a 5 year old daughter now, still as happy as clams together

Thanks for the nice stories, but I haven't had any such luck. It is so depressing. I don't go out to bars or clubs and I really dislike the idea of partaking in speed dating, but now I'm thinking about engaging in these activities. I am just tired of my family (particularly my sister) mocking me because I don't have a boyfriend.
I'm also tired of the looks that I get from random people when I vacation alone. When I booked my last vacation to the Islands, the travel agent had the audacity to ask me why I was traveling alone. I told him that I needed a break due to my stressful job (but apparently this wasn't a good enough response), he followed up with, "but you don't have a boyfriend or even a friend to accompany you?" I wanted to die of embarrassment, but instead I just reiterated that my intention was to travel alone.
If being socially awkward is preventing you from dating, I suggest, you find a way to overcome that.
You still have time to start a family.
My issue is I have no experience and I don't exude any sexual appeal. I am 5'4, 117 lbs. I am thin and lack curves, (this is the biggest problem with my body). I have thought about breast augmentation, to possibly boost my chances of attracting more attention.
Either have to get over your social awkwardness or meet someone that has that in common with you I guess.
Give the OLD a try... From those who posted above it seems to work.
I have seen many women in your situation who are holding out hopes of finding that "#1 dream guy" who checks off each and every box on their long list of wants and needs. The truth is that person is not out there.

I realize at this stage I won't meet my dream guy, but I was hoping that I'd find someone who is compatible and tall.
