I am 33 years old and never had a boyfriend! I am not the type who has a bunch a brick walls around me and wont let anyone in. I can accept the fact that I havent found the one yet but to not ever have been close scares me. and yeah I tried the internet dating thing and if it wasnt for that I would have never dated, but it gets tired and I want to go out there and meet men. ANy suggestions? I dont have much girlfriends either so I feel like I need to start there. Where does a 33 year old woman find friends in the city that never sleeps? I have been to concerts, restaurants, movies, clubs all by myself and it gets real lonely! I hate that I sound like I am whining, but i really need some suggestions!! Thanks!!

Not a thing wrong with you. It's all media hype to make you think something's wrong with you if you don't jump at any man with a pulse. Hold your head high. Have you considered church groups for singles? Not saying they are any better, but just another thing to consider. If you can afford it, some folks like meeting the opposite sex at the gym. Years ago some supermarkets in California were doing the supermarket socializing thing. Different. Hope you find a good person. If you don't, your life will still be beautiful if you choose happiness instead of what ifs.

There is nothing wrong with you. Black men are a joke when comes to relationships!!!!!! Most of them are already married or have a girl or baby mama dramai or chicks on the side. Sometime we have to live outside the box, and date people of other nationalities. Live outside your box, and be happy.

I am looking for laid back, honest, humorous, sensitive, caring, attractive, independent women someone I can laugh with and be affectionate with someone who wouldn’t have a problem becoming part of the family. A woman that respects his man and is thoughtful of her needs at the same time knows when to stand his ground and can give me a little debate. She has to love animals and kids if she looking any type and any regional any age doesn’t matter but want only faithful women and if she have any kids than my responsibility I give all love as a father and this is my duty and responsibility any requirement of kids to any how fulfill and I do this because I love kids.
And I give any women respect my target is not a sex only target is create a family house where leave only Love and fun so if you interested me than one time believe me I think I am perfect person to fulfill your all present requirement I wait you darling……

Ravi Pandley, how can someone you have never met or who has even responded to you be "darling?" Isn't that a sweet nothing come-on line? I should hope most women are beyond sweet nothings seeing the way some men behave publicly. Nothing wrong saying you want to date and fall in love with someone, but why the come-on line when you don't know a thing about the little "darling" of which you speak?

I would like to say not there is nothing wrong with you.
I think there may be a few things that you may be able to try to improve your situation. You cannot control the actions of others but you can make personal changes. So while there is nothing WRONG with you there is nothing wrong with personal growth and trying to find ways to improve your current predictament. I would suggest taking a personal audit of yourself and your actions. What I mean by this is to ensure that you have a pleasant demeaner. Pleasant facial expresions. Keeping your body language open. For example crossing your arms often tells people to keep away.
I know you have attended a variety of funtions on your own but unfortunately in our age group it is difficult to meet new friends, lets be honestly we dont live in an openly friendly society. (I am also guilty of this) Try joining social clubs ie book clubs, intermural sports, volunteer or if your religious a church womens group could all be great options.
In my humble opinion you may want to start off by developing female friendships first. When you have limited social life and friends sometimes you get too dependent on your boyfriend. Which I find that can cause some problems in itself.
Best of luck to you. My comments are some things that I plan to do myself for 2010 so I hope it works for the both of us.
FYI. Please be careful with online dating and contacts while there is nice people everywere there is also people who aren't so nice as well.

Certainly not! Take it from a women with two daughters, one is 40 and the youngest 30, and neither have a man/husband. My oldest has had many failed relationships. My youngest has not had a boyfriend as far as I know. My greatest fear is that they will choose a man who does not love them out of desperation. I have heard my oldest state that she is in love and "wants a man in her bed" many times only to find out that he is a user, selfish, and even hateful and jealous of her "good" life. I watch her the most because she is most susceptible to lying men, it took her four or five years to finish her bachelor's degree because she was constantly being distracted with men. My youngest has a Master's degree, a good job, and just bought a house. She is more cautious of relationships. They are both ripe for the wolf.
I pray to God that he gives them godly men who will love them as they should be loved, but moreso that they will not settle for just anything. I pray they don't follow the hype that is now being perpetrated by the media. That love is sex and sex is everything. What a lie! Hold out with hope for the best, men are looking for "good" women. Keep you sexuality for that special man. Even if it is late in life that you find him, or he finds you.

believe me there is nothing wrong with you
i understand - at 50 yrs of age i too am at a lost still as to why men find me undesireable -
though it is lonely, i continue to go about the business of living,stopped beating myself up
we all want to feel connected - we are responsible for filling up our lives
as small and lonely as it may seem to you - it is a grand gesture to stay in tune with the world
no one would ever know how wonderful you are if you withdraw
