My friend is 26 years old and has no boyfriend since birth. That is her big problem, having no boyfriend at all. Let me describe her as what I've known her for five years,she's beautiful,witty,talented,friendly, has a good job and a very nice person. But until now she haven't find the right man for her. what could I better advise to my friend?

If you friend is beautiful, witty and talented she would have lots of friends and go out socially and meet people. As a Zen practitioner, I have found that if anybody tries too hard or comes across as overly eager to have a relationship, then this will be picked up by potential partners and scare them off a little. The only advice that I give people is to be yourself, and let nature take its course. When the time is right a partner will appear. As a therapist, I have dealt with many clients who have been desperate to have a relationship, some of them going to great lengths to try and get a boy/girfriend, but it rarely works, until the person stops trying and simply enjoys the company of others and then something happens and things change for the better. My best wishes to you and your friend.. _Derek

Maybe that might make your friend feel better. I have no girlfriend since birth. Technically, I have no girlfriend. I remember the last girl I hooked up with, I might treated her like my girlfriend, spoiled her. But actually I was a fool, she never treat me like a boyfriend. She simply use me, and trying to con my money, that is all her intention. So, if your friend is beautiful as you said, maybe you can be a match maker for us. We can hook up.

oh we have the same problem in my family.
My husband's brother to my husband's brother is 30 years old and still is not had a girlfriend.
it is really beautiful and very attractive man has many cars and car deals but have not had a girlfriend.
This is a very serious problem and I think they are very shy and ashamed to invite a girl to a meeting.
I hope soon this problem to solve.
nice day!

my friend have the same condition (i'm not saying it's a problem). He come from a broken family and he never want to know anything about family. But as a friend he is a good friend and he seem to be happy with his current condition. In the past i've tried to set him up on a date but he got really angry with me because of what i'm doing. After that i respect what he want and just be a good friend and never try to set him up on a date again. He's not gay because sexually he still attracted to woman, he just not interested in building a family or having a family type relationship.

means she's lesbian. If your friend is everything you say she is, then she shouldn't have problems finding someone. I say try something new, like if for the longest time, she's dated the same type of people - ie badboys (like what most girls like, thinking they could straighten them out) - she should try getting to know someone opposite. That's how i found my boyfriend, and I couldn't be happier.

There is nothing wrong with her. Like you said she just didnt find the right guy. All she needs to take time, learn about herself. I didn't meet my boyfriend until I was 28. She can look into meetup in her neighborhood with interests she has (she can even take friends with her like you and anyone else.) I met my guy online but had to weed through a bunch of not so great guys.

The first step is to work out what she wants in a boyfriend. Once you work out what you are looking for then you have something to focus on. If she has no idea then she should start by ruling out all the character traits that she does not like and see what is left. Sometimes we cannot know what we are looking for until we have experienced what we do not like.

Hi, Bashful87. Welcome to myLot. My husband and I was was just discussing about certain people that don't have any kids or children. Plus they may not have a boyfriend or a girlfriend at all. I think that your friend will find someone when the time is right. It is best that she pray to God about finding the right person to love and to be involved with.

My daughter also was the same way as your riend. Beautiful, witty, talented, smart and friendly, with a job and a very nice person. She started dating late and was very worried because all her friends were dating, married and had kids. I think some guys are just scared to approach females that are very attractive. My daughter is now married with kids. The husband was a very confident, agressive male. Someone not scared to approach her.

I think that is not correct to enter in a relationship just because the friend are in one, or because we are getting old etc.
I think that to be in a relationship we have to feel something for that person and if we don't feel is better not to get involve in one.
I think that whenever she it, and find a person who she considers is the one for her, she will do it but until she doesn't fe; it is better avoid that.

Your friend needs to open her heart because I'm sure that with all those characters that she has, it's impossible that guys will never get attracted to her. And so, I suggest that she need to open up and her mind to possibility that she'd get attracted to a certain guy. Don't hold back the feeling.

Is she a pefcetionist? Or she has some other reasons that she doesn't want to have a boyfriend? Some girls are very careful when she chooses her first boyfriend. She wants that guy is perfect for her. He needs to be cute, nice, sweet, smart. Especially those girls who know that herself is beautiful, talented. She wants someone special that deserves her.

Sometimes it happens that you are just too shy to get into a relationship. Sometimes you see awesome handsome men walking along a scarecrow, and you just wonder, How come !!!!!???? Well, the answer is that those scarecrows are just more daring that you, they dare to go over those men and ask them to hang out. Those men are shier than you that have their self-esteem hurted and think that's what they deserve. The power is within you, you just have to unleash it and things will work.

I have a friend who was in his late 30's when he got his first girlfriend. I have known him for almost 15 years, and he has been looking for a girlfriend since I met him. Two years ago he finally found a girlfriend and I am really happy for him. I think that your friend will find a boyfriend as well. Is she shy or very picky? She sounds like a person that many guys would be interested in, but if she has very specific wishes about her boyfriend's appearance, job, hobbies, personality etc, it might be difficult for her to find someone who lives up to her ideals.

Maybe she is just not ready... or maybe she just isn't interested. Having a relationship can get in the way of a good career. It's one thing to work and pick up after yourself, but when you have a partner and then they expect you to cook, clean and pick up after them, it can be a bit much. I don't see anything wrong in not having a boyfriend. Some people live their whole lives solitary, and there is nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't push her. If she wants a boyfriend, then you might help her.. but if she doesn't .. I'd leave her alone about it.

Bashful you are feel bad because you have not boyfriend since birth so sad but tell me why you need boyfriend only for sharing happy moment, sad moment, for enjoy or feel because your friend has boyfriend and you have not.. dont worry someone is waiting for you to make a long life boyfriend. I have also not boyfriend before my marriage till 25 years. But I not feel bad.
