I'm scared of ending up old and lonely
I'm 23, finished uni last year, have a good job, sociable and always out having fun but there is just one thing missing in my life.....I've never had a boyfriend. Its recently been making me feel unhappy and if there is something wrong with me but I don't think I'm ugly, I know I'm a fun person with lots of interests and easy to get on with yet I just feel like the forgotten one!!
I fear rejection and so never go up to anybody I like in bars or clubs. If somebody is flirting with me I either don't realise until afterwards or just don't know how to respond. I had been on a date with one guy but was so nervous I ended up being sick in the toilets most of the night. I just feel so unconfident when it comes to relationships and the opposite sex!! Which is not what I am like generally!!
Not really sure what to do. I'm just scared of ending up an old lonely lady with lots of regrets!!!

good luck.
I was the same. Virgin at 21 and in the armed forces. young fit, witty and all that. I just nevr saw the chances. They are there belive me!!!!!!
The risk is that you take the first bus you recognise. For me that was a lovely looking beauty. Waht a nightmare lesated 15 years and she left me with two children while her looks still lasted to find better (cash) for herself.
Since then I have learnt what I had been mssing out on and its really easy.
1. accepted arrabnged dates by friends. thats all they are dates to see if you like them.
2. have an attitude of no pressure and no worries, its just around the corner.
3. never go on looks, when you click even the ugliest girl is bueatiful.
4.everyone has the same bits and they deteriate with age. So chose someone who makes the best of what they have and not who has the best it shows a more positive outlook.
5. Everyone is attracted to confidence: so work on your confidence
6.create the opportunity: dancing, gym, keep fit, langauge clubs. For me it was salsa dancing. I found I met ladies not "clubers" and they didn't lie about being married.
7. dont share a man and dont share your self. your special.
8.if I were 23 I would invite you out, but I am not and finally at 43 I am happily settled. At your age I never thought it would happen
best of luck
