i am single.....

shy i don't think so you are not shy at all my be you need to develop your way in acting with ppl . i have sent you once a pm for new site and you keeping telling me that i'm lie on you and i just want you to sign up under me whatever was that but i think the problem not in you shyness it is in your attitude with others you have to be more kind and simple with ppl this what going to help you i have sent my message by the way for other friends they reply with thanks even if them were already a member cause this the nice attitude I'm talking about here i now you are fast tempo but i just want to give you a little example about you . just try to control you feeling even if you feel angry try to pretend that you are not . this will make friends start to became lovers lol c latter dear friends i won't pm again till you ask that by the way .

Maybe you should try enrolling in some kind of class or joining a group or club where there are both men and women so that you can get to know more people. If you enlarge your network of friends you increase your chances of meeting someone who interests you or of meeting someone who has a friend/brother/neighbor who he/she could introduce you to. It's *very* hard to meet a total stranger and strike up a conversation...and not really the safest way to meet someone. Don't give up. Get involved in as many things as you can find that will get you out there and keep smiling!

I know just how you feel about being shy. There is no logic to it. It is just something that is within you that you can't seem to shake. My shyness however came from my feeling I was not good looking enough. I could not imagine that a girl would even want to be seen out with me while in high school so never came close to asking. I have no idea what is causing your shyness. If the picture here is of you there is no way it could be from your looks. Not a man on earth would ever think you unattractive or not be interested. You know that already. I assume it is a fear of not knowing what to say...being afraid to let yourself want to much and then be rejected. Only you know this. But I can tell you this even though I went through all my young life just as you are now, lonely and love starved, I have been married most of my life. I am now 67. I met and married my first wife at 23. We were married for 37 years and found she was cheating on me. When I got over that I found someone else on the Internet. Got to know her that way and then met. Within less than a year we married. I regret to say she passed away last year. Please do not fear the Internet. True you have more to contend with than I did but there are some pretty good guys out there. You just have to keep looking. Be very picky but don't give up. Don't let the jerks stop you from finding Mr. right. Let me tell you this.....you are a very pretty lady and you could have any man that walked past pretty much any way you would want him. You just have to find a way to not fear letting him know you may be interested. The biggest problem you have is the very guy who would be for you is no doubt a little like you. He walks past you, you look the other way, this tells him you are not interested. No question his heart is doing flip flops when seeing you but he is not about to disrespect you so you both lose. Try to learn to not look away. Try to smile even just for a little bit before you look away. He may then talk to you and that is where it all begins. Good luck girl. There is some guy out there who would love to make you happy but you have to let him first. You just have to.

It's ok to be shy sometimes and if ever there is a man out there who notices you no matter how shy you may be the man would approach you if he is really interested. No worries because the right guy will come no matter what. But also you need to be confident in yourself. Believe that you are beautiful and many men out there are looking for you. Good luck!

You are cute. I don't see why you have a hard time getting a date. Maybe the trouble is that you are trying too hard. I wasn't even looking for a date when I met my wife. Try to get out more and go to places where single guys hang out. Go to the beach or some sporting events or something...

Work on the shyness first. If a man smiles at you,alwas smile back.Even if you are not interested. It shows that you are friendly and approachable.If you quickly look away he will assume that you are not interested.Once you are able to smile back try saying hello.It won't hurt you or cause you to hyperventalate.My that will cause him to strike up a conversation and the hard part is over.If all else fails. Make some girlfriends so you some someone to go out with a night. Maybe they could intrduce you to a friend. Good luck and Happy day.

have you tried online dating sites? there are also alot of speed dating/single stuff that lots of big cities have. you should look into that. try googling singles in my city (insert name) and go fromt here. best of luck.

i wish it were simple enough that one could glean such knowledge from the int0rwebz, but the truth of the matter is that it just isn't. If it were i'd be vulgarly rich. The only you are going to have to do short of wearing a t-shirt proclaiming that you are indeed single is to be more assertive. i know, easier said than done, but there is no "Easy Button" ala the Office Depot commercials. i am extremely shy myself and so i know the difficulties you are facing. Yet if i can beat out that fear and ask a girl out or even start a conversation then you can do it too. You're far better looking than i am. lol You know the old saying, What is that other person going to do? Say no? So be it, move along to find the right one. Good luck.

I think everything you feel is normal - what you need to do is go out and meet people that you can start out as friends with and eventually end up dating if they are nice, since it sounds like you are more comfortable that way. You could try a site like meetup.com where you can find people with similiar interests in your area or find some different groups and organizations in your area. You might not meet someone there - but you'll meet people who know people who know other people - and the more you meet people, the more comfortable you start to feel, and the sooner you will maybe be introduced to someone :) There is also online dating you can try - just be upfront with the person you are nervous about dating online since you never did it before - chances are they are just as equally nervous. Good luck! This article I wrote might be of help: http://www.itmightbelove.com/2008/04/12/forget-about-the-bar-scene/

Having looked at your photos I cannot believe the men are not beating a path to your door. You're gorgeous! There must be somewhere you can go to, a club or something. You don't need to go with a friend, you could go by yourself. Or, if clubbing scares you, try something calmer, like a cafe. Whatever you do, ya gotta learn to smile more. Practice that smile wherever you go, then you'll be the one smiling at the guys instead of them smiling at you

Well i am not in a position to advice you but have you tried online dating sites. You can try this since you are not meeting a person face to face. So it might help you. I am not saying that hook up with them. But you can try to overcome your shyness this way.

i know guys that has trouble talking to female too, this one dude always ask me how do i just go up and start talking to females or just people in general? one reason is i am not looking since i am married. but i feel like here i am and who i am like it or not. but you just need to work on being shy, i used to be i was like hell with this. but i can understand it's harder for female there is always a dude that takes it the wrong if a female start talking first. you look cute, so just be you and open to people and start talking first. most of the time guys see a good looking female they or we often think damn she's hot must have a man..

Well, stay as what you are.I believe that if a man is interested of meeting you they will find a way to do whatever it takes just to know.So either you are friendly, snubbish,shy or whatever, you can still have a boyfriend just its not yet the rigth time for you and the right man never come yet.Just enjoy yourself and you will never notice one day it will come.

I'm in a very similar possition so I totally understand how you feel. if I lived closer I'd take you out dancing tonight!!!

I am single too. However, I have no issues with it. I appreciate being single as I was too caught up with relationship problems in the past and am enjoying my break now. Most importantly, you must be confident. You must believe that this situation will not last long. Someday, somehow, a guy will appear and love you for who you are. If you are shy by nature, so be it. I'm sure there are guys who like shy girls. However, you should try to overcome the problem of not smiling back at guys when they smile at you. Try not to think of them as guys. Just think of them as normal human beings. It's only polite to smile back when someone smiles at you. I am sure if you think hard enough, you will think of some friends to go out with. Do not be passive and wait for them to ask you out. You can be the one who takes the initiative. Good luck to you and I hope you will find your prince charming soon.

Hi Karen How are u dear i just received ur this discussion and i have not more to say as u have lot of responses and advises But sure i would say that u r really not only a Pretty but Elegant Lady, so every one might not dare to move towards u, just have little change is ur social life, have some smile and sparkle in eyes, go to some social gathering, and i am sure it will be hard for u to make a decsion as to whom u should ENTILTLE to be ur B/F Wish u all the best dear Take care

well,i really feel you are the first solution for thsi issue,the first thing i will like to ask you is how old are you a/then what do you do?do you work and what about your family members?are you shy because you feel you are not good looking?though i doubt that!i think you need to go out more and then boost your ego by raising the level of your confidence have you ever had any boyfriend before and why did he leave?we need to understand all these,then the solution will be in the answers to these questions

I am seriously surpirsed that someone like you is still single. WHat is wrong with men in UK? Are they all blind????LOL Try coming over to Canada on vacation....I bet any thing you will find the man of ur dreams right here. Oh...by the way.....make sure you come to Toronto ONLY....Cause, I live here...LOL

hi mandykaren firstly you need to work on you build up your confidence! what triggers your shyness produce coping techniques preactice in the mirror you even look shy from your picture. Eye contact and smiles are always good you have to be optimistic you have always a fifty fifty chance the answer will either be yes or no and if you don't ask you don't get. The person smiling at you may have similar shyness but they are trying to overcome it or he just fancied you so much he couldn't help it. I can only suggest you do things that you enjoy and join clubs group activities for this that enthusiasm will follow through and you are likely to be less shy. My boyf was very shy but we have worked on it and he is 10 times better alot of it is because he is more comfortable with who he is. Someone will always find you ugly but there will also always be someone who thinks you are absolutely beautiful so don't dwell on it be happy with you and your life and it will all fall into place.

hmmm...well you r a single..u r lucky...relationships are tooo hard to handle...you should enjoy your freedom... nothing is worth your freedom... but if you want some relation, then just be a bit open to your environment.... take control over you nervnousness
