......to start finding a guy? I'm 31 and I've never had a real boyfriend. I've been in love--or thought I was--but it was never returned. Now I am reaching the point where I'm tired of being single. I've never even been on a date or had a kiss! I don't really know where to start. What if I wound up with the wrong guy because I waited too long to start looking?



Can anyone else relate? Thank you in advance.

It's never too late.

You should look for a guy who has similar interests to you, and a similar philosophy of life. He should also be patient as far as physical intimacy is concerned. If he demands physical intimacy right away, go far away.

It would be nice if you wanted physical intimacy with the person, eventually. But if you just enjoy each other's company, and agree to no intimacy, then that would be a cool relationship, too. If one or the other wants physical intimacy, while the other does not, then it's not good.

The best thing to do is to avoid bars and places where it is implied that you want physical intimacy.

Probably the best way to find a suitable person is for you to join a club where people with similar interests gather. Or one of your friends could introduce you to a guy whom your friend finds suitable for you.

I am 29, soon to be 30, and a guy that hasn't had a relationship. It is frustrating.

Personally, in your situation, I would find some guy and give him a note that said on it, "Take me out on a date". It might work, or not. I don't know. You could follow Zulu's advice from Conan the Destroyed, which is to just grab him and take him. It may be a joke, who knows.

Maybe you need to club some guy and carry him off to your cave.

Go make an account on Tinder. If you're halfway decently attractive and you swipe yes to almost every guy, you will get a match 1 out of 2 or 3 times. If you're obese, then yeah you probably won't be as successful. Sorry. Remember that Tinder is a look-based app.

Most of the guys will be making the first move on you and all you have to do is choose the ones you want to respond to.

Tinder is great because you can either use it to hit it for one time one night no feelings attached, or if you want to find a relationship. It's your choice.

what qualifies as demands?
sounds like you saying people should avoid me for wanting to cuddle/hug/hold hands and eventually sex.


to op have you looked at the guys here? there's tons of guys in similar situations.
