Hi Friends, I'm 38years old, do not smoke, do not drink, very optimistic with a pleasing personality but still unable to find anyone who can love me. Don't beleive in online dating sites, just want to have a decent relationship but honestly nothing works... sometimes really feel very beored and lonely and decide to socialise more but the probllem is... I just can't get attracted easily to anyone.. Not sure what to do.. but it's really frustrating living alone :( Not sure if any of you are facing the same??

Hope you are well too. No I don't feel sorry. I enjoy my own company that's why still single but sometimes doesn't it feel as if something wrong with you, that you can't find anyone in your life. Optimistic in the sense that I'm posting this after 38yesrs of my life :) Didn't cry before :) Actually I'm in London away from my family and freinds for last 3years and couldn't make any friends, as most of the time busy in work.. still I feel quite happy that I'm alone but sometimes... u know what I mean.. anyway thanks for your considering reply :)

no, i don't have the same experience like yours. i'm very optimistic also and i love socializing to other people. i think the problem is with you. maybe you're not open to the possibility that you can be in love with somebody with just a simple spark. frndzb4 i think you need to lower down a bit of your standards so that people will feel that your heart is very much open for new relationships. aside from that, you need to be aware of the impression that other people says to you so that you'll be able to know what's really wrong with you in others' eyes.

I'm not facing the same--I have a great girlfriend. But I know where you're coming from and I've been in a similar spot. While I'm not opposed to online dating, I know other people who are. Just make sure that you keep getting out with your friends and meeting new people whenever you can. Go out to a social event and start talking to someone and get to know them. You can meet a new partner any time!

That is the main problem... I'm not a social person as most of my friends have their partners and I don't like to be on my own in the crowd.

you should do this first thing that is to love yourselves, you should love your body,you mind,your all things are belong to your things.when you are in the difficult time, you should put all thing on your yourselves, and should scold yourselves for all-power man, and do not ask for all-side beautiful things, you are in the state of nothing to do, then you should lie in such this state,you are in loving your own live, in itselves.if you are feeling lonely. the important thing is to do love yourselves,have a try, then you are in the refresh one agrain.

You don't have to be so discouraged, maybe you didn't see the person right for you although it is near you. This happens so often...you look at others without suspecting that your "soul mate" is somewhere, in that crowd. I guess that if you have patience and look around you more carefully you'll find the right person for you. It's never too late, just be more careful. Always there's somebody who admires/loves in secret. But it's also important to be that kind of person you wish for. To me it didn't happened this way, I don't know how or why but the person to whom I was attracted at a specific moment, felt the same way as I did. This happened always...I've tried everytime to be honest with myself, to know exactly what I want. And when you're sure about what you really desire, and you search it you'll find it. It's simple. It's not about how you look, but how you see yourself through other's eyes. I've always told myself that I like x and that would be normal if x would like me too. I can't tell if this is the key to my "success", but for me it did worked. And it's still does.

Hi, Yes I think you are right. I'm a confused person. Don't even know what I actually want. Sometimes I approach someone and then step back thinking that it won't be a right relationship.. Honestly don't know :(

hi frndzb4, Attraction at an early age comes neat like a peg of whisky. Thereafter as time passes ur identification of desirable qualities all collect in a corner of ur brain and create a package full of fantasies. There are too many checkboxes for any candidate to tick yes to. And so confusion is obvious - which should I compromise, and which I shouldnt. For whatever it is worth, now let a person who likes u for what u r, in whose list of checkboxes u seem to have ticked most "yes", take charge. At least he seems to know his mind. Eventually, even u will know the way automatically, and in due time, u will find attraction as well minus its fantasy covers.
