    I think you need to just cheer up and make a complete tranformation of yourself, not because you arent pretty or you dont attract, I am sure you are a sweet person cos' you dont really sound bitter about anything, rather, you sound like you need to genuinely know if others have experienced the same thing, and that you are concerned what it may be.

    Assess yourself, like change your wardrobe, with colors you have never experimented wearing before, change your hair style.....color it if you want to feel new...All this, is only to make yourself feel new, and different from the routine. The rest could be cos' you are mingliing around with the same group of freinds...or whoever, how about exploring other people, go different places, make freinds elsewhere instead of hanging to one group of people. Give a new release to yourself. STart enjoying yourself, and do just about anything new just for you to feel new, and not really worry about why nothings happening. Slowly, things will change. I am sure.

    Just keep being yourself. They must not have been the right person for you. Take up a couple of new hobbies, and stop looking. Its when you stop looking you find Mr Right. I was in the same rut as you (but for 5 years) and I am happy to say it has now been nearly 6 years with my perfect man. Started out as a fling, and well I could not ask for a better man in my life. What I did differently was ensure that I was not coming off needy, and seemed independent enough not to need constant attention. Once you snatch him... then you can be a bit more needy :)

    I've gone through times in my life when I thought I was never going to find an exciting relationship. Keep in mind that things will eventually change. That's the beauty of hanging in there. In 3 months you could be in a completely different place. Good Luck!

    There is nothing wrong with getting passed over. You are the chooser, not the man. If the man is given the whole responsibility of choosing he's going to almost always choose booty over beauty, quick over quality. Be patient and wait. God will send the most wonderful man your way and then you will choose him.

    Are you a "Religious Person" at all? By chance. Because I have been seriously considering going to church to find my next companion. I used to be a firm-church Believer, and was on "Fire For God" but I never went to church to find that special someone, you know. Now I want God to find that special someone for me, even if its just for "Male friendship" I'd be happy with having a platonic friendship, with no strings attached, with a male around my age. You might consider your sources a bit better. Like if you drink, My Mom always told me you never want to find a man in a bar, most of them are just blowing their money and are considered "Bar-Flies", well I've never been much into the club scene anyway, so that wouldn't be a place I'd want to look for one anyway, I'm just too shy to even go to places such as bars, or clubbing it!! When ever I did go when I was in my 20s it was always with friends, and it was always there choice to go not mine. Maybe you ought to think about tending a good Church of God, or Foursquare Churches are really spirit filled and led. They may even have "Singles Night's" for those of us who are single, you never know. Give it a try, it couldn't hurt. Good Luck to you hun!! Smile!!

    I have been single for a long while now too, but its partly by choice... sometimes life is just easier being single you know?

    it does get pretty boring at times though

    Well.... What is your type? What are you looking for ? What do you want and what do you offer. Perhaps your so use to being alone that you've left your mojo at home. Show some intrest and give them a sign.
