[quote=Anonymous]I totally agree with 1:08.  I grew up I a conservative, horribly abusive family and there's no way I could have dated in high school.  I was always outgoing and popular but never could have anyone over to the house or to go on a date.  College was a transition period for me (and an escape).  I was interested in having  relationship but never got asked out (yes, I'm attractive in a cute way and was always fit/athletic).  It wasn't until I just gave up that I finally met the guy who would be DH.  I was 29, he was a friend of male friend and I was totally taken aback when he asked me out - I was about to be posted overseas for a long term assignment.  We dated the short time I was here and then I left.  It was after that that I developed a lot more confidence in myself.  I couldn't believe what a difference it made.  I was totally myself but confident and at ease.  I dated other guys while overseas but still kept in contact with the guy who would be my DH.  When I got back a couple years later, we got serious.  Got married at 35 - and, FWIW, my boobs have always been ample but never perky.  After 3 kids and nearing 50, they're definitely Nat'l Geographic material but I wear a good bra and can tell that I'd get asked out if I weren't married.

My suggestion would be to set aside a desire/need to settle down.  Focus on doing activities you like and meeting people (people!  not just men) through them.  Be open to someone you don't think of as your type initially.  My DH wasn't what I thought my type was but, in fact ,he's really a good match for me.  Hang in there![/quote]
