what's the deal?

i had a boyfriend for a few years in the middle of high school. i'm 24 now, and no one has asked me out since. i'm not super hot or anything, but i'd say i'm cute. i'm pretty smart (i'm in med school and will be a doctor in two years). i think i'm pretty funny and fun to hang around (but it's kind of hard to judge something like that objectively). why haven't i been asked out since my high school boyfriend? we're talking eight years here. how embarassing.

Update:

great advice everyone! it's gonna be hard to pick a best answer.

i guess i always thought i knew how to flirt, but i'm really starting to doubt that. after six years of singlness, with no apparent interst from males, one starts to lose a bit of confidence.

it is a blessing as well as curse though. i admit it'd be hard for me to be dating while in med school, because i'd want to give too much time and attention to him.

i'm definitely not into the whole singles scene. it just seems so cheesey to me.

so i guess i'll continue waiting. there's a dude i'm interested in, but he's a thousand miles away. maybe i'll try my hand this summer when i'm near.

    Wow! That's gotta be tough. Probably not any tougher though than going through a string of relationships that didn't work out. I guess you've had your mind on other things. It's great that you'll be a DR in only two years. Maybe the powers that be want you to be a doc and don't want you interruprted by love life drama and trauma. They say what manifests in the real world must first come to pass in your mind. So once or twice a day when you get a minute meditate on some chum of your liking having you out for dinner and a movie. Feel yourself there enjoying his company, smelling the food (or popcorn) and really get into your own mental movie.

    you're in med school - too busy to date. I like you though - you said "objectively".

    if you go do all the usual Single things (salsa, book group, creative writing etc) you will be the hottest property on the block. Not that I'm recommending that - it's hit and miss that you get the right kind of attention.

    Do you know how to flirt? It's a valuable life skill. There's classes. Try that?

    ive been single for five years. there is a shortage of men.!

    be thankful for all this time on your own, you would be very independant and smart by the sounds of it! enjoy it while you can, because one day your going to have a husband and a few kids, and you will look back on these 8 years of bliss and wish you had enjoyed it more. everything happens for a reason, and there is someone for everyone - ! Dont ever say its embarressing! If you tell people your embarressed they will probably pity you. Be strong, confident and a great doctor. Enjoy this time while you can. You are so young- plenty of time to meet someone.

    Are you making yourself available. Sounds like you have a pretty heavy schedule with med school and preparing to be a Dr. By the way "CONGRATULATIONS!!! Do one favor just for me, please! When you become a Doctor, work hard on your people skills. Don't make it just about the money. Now, go get fixed up, relax, and go make yourself available and have some fun. You know what they say about Doctors don't you. "They never sleep".
