[quote=Anonymous]I will be reading this whole thread for the night...but just based on OP's post, I've been where you are.  I think flirting is key.  You either are a flirter or you aren't.  If you aren't, you are severely handicapped in the dating department.  I didn't get a boyfriend til like late 20's. I seriously never even really touched a guy til then.  All the wrong guys asked me out and I usually turned them down.  At 25 I went on a few dates but I wasn't interested.  I think I just wasn't comfortable flirting, didn't have the confidence, felt like a freak for being different, and just wasn't ready. It drove me crazy uglier girls than me, or ones who were horrible people, got boyfriend after boyfriend.  Totally not fair. By like 30 most of the good guys are taken and you're left at a disadvantage again.  Is it too late for an arranged marriage? I wound up sort of arranging my own marriage (although I'm not of a race where marriages are arranged). I got married in my mid 30's. It's not too late  for you, but there are so many more competitive and dare I say slutty women out there that it's really hard to compete. Men will take who puts themselves out there and don't want to be rejected. If you're not giving out the signals, I'm afraid you will be passed by for someone easier. Try online dating or get an arranged marriage, but choose carefully because your decision can affect the rest of your life.  At some point I just thought getting into any relationship is better than none at all. I have kids now and my first grader already has had multiple girlfriends. I think it's true that everything you need to know you learn in kindergarten. I think socialization with the opposite sex starts alot younger than people think and if you miss out on those formative years it's not a level playing field.  Still, I think you have time.[/quote]
