I am a 28 year old single female, who has been on a date only twice. I had tried e-harmony, until that got too expensive to keep paying every month. My mom had tried to set up a date where the guy could meet me, but ultimately he wasn't interested in keeping on dating as we lived too far apart. The other guy I dated was too dominant.
Its not that I never had guys become interested in me, as apparently they seem to find me pretty and so will look at me, but they never seem to ask me out. I seem to either not give off the 'proper signals' that signify interest, or it is 'culture' today for the female to ask the guy out. I don't know.
I don't wear makeup, and I love Star Wars and video games, so I wish I could find a man who a had simular interests.
I just wish I could find a guy.
I do sympathize with your plight, after all, I've walked alone for a long time myself, even though I am only 6 years your junior. It isn't fun, often it is very aggravating and depressing. However, it is good to hear that men look at you and show some interest in you to some degree.
Like you said yourself, I think the reason why guys don't ask you out is probably due to a number of reasons. One might be that they are intimidated about being rejected. They also might think that you are too nice and friendly and don't present much of a challenge. There is probably a myriad of various reasons, nothing is cut and dry, as I would like it to be.
As for myself, I'm done looking for romantic love. I honestly believe that women my age don't care about me romantically or interest wise, and I'm fine with it. When I did try, I was always rejected and turned down, so I finally see it is silly to try, after all, just as men can be superficial and petty, so can women too. I'm not going to lie, I have had very high standards in what I wanted and thus have been superficial, but it is pointless to waste one's life looking for love.
I think it is best not to look for love or seek it, but to make friends with whomever you can, be it the opposite sex, or friends from the same sex. Friendship can lead to love eventually, if the right conditions are met, but in case they aren't, you'll have friends to rely on. I don't know romantic love, I don't trust romantic love, and I don't trust woman romantically, but I can still trust in friendship with others.
