Anyways, my question is I'm going to be 23 this year, and duuuuuuuuuude, I have yet to find my first boyfriend.
Is there something wrong with me? I admit, I use to be antisocial and stuff, but I'm working on that.
I mean I've dated in the past, but dang... they all turned out to be jerks. One guy was too cocky with his "I make the best pho using the best of the best for broth, ox tail." And dude, his pho tasted like cardboard. And another guy was looking for U.S. citizenship. The last guy I tried dating was too ugh... girly. Like he would wash his face at the beach every 30 minutes with Arrowhead water. Yea, like that's really attractive man.
So, like, what's the deal? Any tips? I probably need to be the aggressor in this type of situation, but how?
And please say something other than "You will find the right guy someday," or "Don't worry... There's someone out there who is perfect for you. You just haven't met him yet." I've gotten that enough already.
Big thanks!
And sorry my post is long. It's my first time posting here.
Bahaha, I know what the dinobots are! Beast Wars! haha
Anyways... I'll be 23 in 4 days and it took me that long to find someone who I connect with.
One suggestion is, please don't be that older female who is so forceful and aggressive with guys. I think a lot of girls that haven't had many boyfriends tend to feel like if they don't initiate some kind of relationship soon, they will turn into a crazy cat lady or a nun for life or something. You still have PLENTY of time!
Is there someone in mind that you like? Because I wouldn't try to find a "boyfriend" for the sake of just having one.
I think a lot of relationships don't last these days because someone goes around poking everyone around to see if they would date them and the first person who falls for it, they date. (mostly guys do this) But it's really missing the point because a boyfriend or a girlfriend seriously won't solve all your problems and as happy as someone can make you, man... they have the power to make you so frustrated and sad.
Don't think of "once I have a S/O, WOW! I'm going to be this awesome person and we're going to do this and that and love each other and blah blah blah..."
I have this theory that the easier it is to enter into a relationship with someone, the easier it is to end the relationship. Maybe you've been waiting all this time to meet someone you'd be willing to fight... megatron.. and win for? haha (bringing back the transformers) haha I suggest you don't go look for someone that's down in the dumps because he also, has never had a girlfriend. Oh man.. that's gonna be like a pityfest. Good people tend to be busy living their lives, regardless of having a g/f or b/f.
I think people our age must realize that the relationships we enter into have to be on another level. If you are interested in someone that you really feel like you both could have a connection with, then it's worth a shot. I was very indifferent to girls before I met mine, but she really made me want to go after her. She was the first person I proposed to and the first to deny me, but I had to show her that this wasn't just another infatuation. Things just felt natural even though it was the first time for me proposing. I imagine it'll be the same for you. Just don't be that older female going to younger guys and grab their arms and say stuff like, "Oh my gosh! You're arms are so big! It's OK! I'm your older sister, I can do these kinds of things!" Girls can be super heeby too... At least when guys are heeby, they at least know they are...
So I'm going to end with "Don't worry" or "You'll find the right guy someday" because even though cliche, they are absolutely correct.
