Still single after 13 years?

I dunno what to do any more. I've been single for 13 years and still unable to find love or find places where love might find me. I've got loads of hobbies and interests including art and craft, collecting, computers and shopping, and yet I won't go back to courses or college. I dunno where to look, or where NOT to look, and i'm almost wondering whether I have to wait until i'm 30 before anything happens. What should I do and how should I cheer myself up, cause i'm almost breaking down in tears here.

Update:

Update 2:

I'm 28 by the way, and my birthday is in June, so i'll be 29 by then.

Update 3:

Forgot to add that i'm 28, reaching 29 in June. Still another crappy year to go before I reach 30.

    Do you have some close friends you can ask? Tell them flat out that you'd like to find a serious relationship and that you've had trouble meeting people. Ask your good friends a few things: do they know someone who's single and might like to meet you? And this might be a hard conversation, but ask them if there are things about you that they think are preventing you from meeting people and starting relationships. Give them permission to give you constructive criticism, and really listen to what they have to say. Friends don't usually harp on each other about their flaws, and it seems rude if they do - but tell them you really want their opinion about what you could be doing differently to meet people, because whatever you're doing now just doesn't seem to be working.

    So, if self-examination reveals that you really are just unlucky in love, try a few more things:

    -internet dating: not just for desperadoes. I've had good luck online, and several friends of mine have even married people they met on dating websites.

    -bars. I'm personally not into the bar scene, but even I can see that that IS a place where many people go to look for possible partners. Pick a place that suits your style - laid back, jostling, jazzy, country, clubby - and go with a same-sex friend. Be open, make eye contact with strangers, and don't be afraid to talk to people.

    Hang in there! Buck up, and avoid desperation at all costs. That's the one thing that's sure to keep love at bay.

    come on you are still young and have enough time for finding the love. try to think posotively always then you will get posotive things. and don't give damn about been single, you are lucky person. look others how many time they have been with love or lover but they end up to be breaking up and hurt each others. but be real, be truth and never change your self for the girls. let them love you the way you are. I am sure they gone come to you soon. just be petient.
