[quote=Anonymous]I was raised by fairly conservative parents in a Catholic family, although I myself am agnostic. I was a straight-A kid who took no drugs and didn't drink. I was (and am) thin, fit, and attractive. But I didn't date.

By my mid-20s, I was convinced that I was destined for spinster hood. Sure, I attracted plenty of men, but I had built a pretty high wall around myself. I had tons of friends, male and female, but no boyfriends. They would try to set me up with eligible men. Every time I went on a date, I thought, "I hope I like him."  I never did. I focused instead on my career and got an MBA from one of the very top business schools. My mother was convinced I would meet interesting guys there. And I did, but still no boyfriend.

And then, one month before my 28th birthday, I met someone through a friend. We hit it off immediately. Within three months, he told me that we were going to get married someday. I was skeptical to say the least. He was right. We did get married three years later, and are happily married still, almost 20 years later.

Anyway, this is meant to encourage you. Don't panic. The right person for you is still out there. Keep making friends with lots of people and doing lots of interesting things. Not only will you be happier, you are more likely to meet like-minded men.[/quote]
