How long exactly is one supposed to wait before things 'get better'? I spend every moment of everyday trying to improve myself and my environment. My life is nearly perfect, I must say. However, I would love to have a boyfriend. Someone to listen to me and someone I can listen to. I feel so alone.
Thanks

I had a great family, I did well academically, I was one of the best athletes at my school, I did a ton of community service, and I had a ton of friends. All I was missing, I thought, was a boyfriend. I kept telling myself I didn't want one, but deep down it had really been getting to me. Not having a boyfriend as a young teenager can make you have very low self confidence, which leads to guys not wanting to date you...it's a viscious cycle. Anyways, after I got out of high school things changed for me. I was thrown into a whole new environment and within a few months I'd landed myself my first relationship. I was 18 and a half. I'd never been kissed or done anything with a guy up till that point. Now, 2 years later, I'm engaged to that first guy and we are planning to live together next month. I see the girls that I used to be rather jealous of for having relationships in high school and they aren't even close to getting engaged to anyone. Most of them are single. I may have started late, but through observation I learned so much about the dating world that I was able to speed ahead and skip all the dead end relationships, silly breakups, mistakes, and heartache entirely. Now, that's a tough thing to do and not something that you should expect to happen for yourself. The chances of ending up with the first guy you date are slim. However, the longer you wait, the better your experiences will be. You'll have matured enough to not only understand what's going on, but to have seen enough of other people's relationships go sour to know a thing or two about them before you try one yourself. You are so not alone. There are many girls out there that are in the same position as you. You have a ton of time to find what you're looking for. So stop looking! Love is out there, and it will find you. The harder you look, the more desperate you will become. I'm sure you are a wonderful person that has a lot to offer to a guy. Don't let that out of sight. Stay confident in yourself. Your time will come and it will be even better than you had ever hoped for. Good luck. :) [ sizzlinmandolin's advice column | Ask sizzlinmandolin A Question ]

The most important thing is to not wait for that guy to come around..have you heard of the saying that if you're looking for someone, youll never find them? well thats kind of the thing with guys..a guy will come around when you least expect it, trust me on that one. In the meantime, hang out with your girlfriends, do something that you absolutely love to do and dont think about how much you want to find a boyfriend.
