      haha, thanks! Appreciate your kind words and hopefully you find your prince charming, white horse and all....although maybe a horse wouldn't be the best means of transportation these days for a date... ;-)

    The problem with most females who.complain that chivalry is dead is that they themselves have forgotten the Grace & Art of what it means to be a Lady.

      I couldn't agree more. I can't even begin to say how many women have made fun of me for opening the doors for them on a date.

      Most likely they feel awkard accepting kindness as a gift let alone from a man. Sadly, with the progression of equal rights females are raised viewing males as a competitive equal instead of a genuine complentary counterpart of all a woman isnt & cannot be.

      good points! However, I'm not going to stop doing it even if it drives them crazy. :-D

      My grandfather would come back to life and kick my rear in if I wasn't a gentleman. haha

    I know it's frusturating but you just haven't been at the right place at the right time yet that's all. You just have to be patient. I'm 26/f and have been single my whole life ha so trust me it could be worse =-P

    Hi Mr Musicman:-)
    Sometimes there is nothing wrong!sometimes you just meet the wrong woman,I don t know!i do believe a lot,that there's a prince about there!a prince with charm that knows how to treat a woman,that believes in perfection in a relationship and that inside that perfection bad days exists.
    Don t know what could be wrong with you!thats something you have to analyse!if the same problem happens all the time you date somebody,change that!or maybe there's no problem!its just that you didn t found the right person!the things you wrote that you do is so difficult to find in a man nowadays!honestly it is!and it seems you one in a million:-) so don t worry!things takes time to achieve!thats how I learn to think:-)
    Hope it helps.x

    There is nothing wrong with you, but its normal to question our worth somedays. Its all about timing. Have faith in yourself. You sound like a great catch....so keep the faith. Trust me....she will be looking for YOU! She will just cross your path somehow, somewhere. You are only young so there is plenty of time to find her. Allow yourself time to heal (properly) and then you will attract the right type of girl. If you are still hurting over someone else you wont give out the right "vibe" as your heart just wont be ready.

    If you are all the things you say then your only problem is not getting out there and getting your girl. Go get her..be the alpha male and get it done. That's how you'll find the girl of your dreams. It's not that good guys finish last, its that the aggressive guys beat you to it.

    Honey,

    Here's the thing. I'm 25 and I've been single for 6 years. Single as in I haven't been on a date. What's "wrong" with me? We can break that into 1 major thing in each: physical, mental and spiritual.The first barrier: I'm fat. In a definitely overweight but no health problems and can walk up four flights of stairs to my room. Secondly, I will tell you what I think, though usually, in a loving, supportive way. Oh and lastly, I'm an active Christian and will only date men who love Jesus. Now, for my point, there are definitely guys in the world that can see beyond weight. There are definitely guys that can handle a woman who can think for herself. I don't make apologies for who I am. I'm not happy that I'm single but that doesn't mean I can't be happy while I'm single. Try it.

    I believe God will bring me a beautiful man who loves me, worships with me and supports me. I also believe that it will take time, patience and work for us to work through being together and that God is using this time in my life to prepare me for that. Yes, it frustrates me that guys seem to miss how I amazing I am. I strongly suggest we stop thinking that way though. Who are you? Don't focus on why a woman should love you. Focus on why you love yourself. When you're confident in who you are, you have that quality that just makes you so attractive. What woman is going to be an amazing wife? I think if you stop thinking about when women will start looking at you and start thinking about what woman you want to find- you'll be halfway to really being with her. The other half will come when you realize that woman needs certain things and you make sure you're filling those. Some of those you'll realize while you're single because surprisingly, you want to be those things. Others will be discovered when you actually find her. And chances are, she won't need you to be Channing Tatum but she might still enjoy watching his movies. ;) Good luck and God Bless.

      You bring up some really great points that had me sitting here for some time before writing so thank you. I can honestly say I know what I want in a woman but find those around me pushing me to lower my standards in looks, personality or both. I always took the fact that I knew what I wanted as a good thing but now I'm being forced to rethink if I'm being to narrow minded. I was engaged for 2.5 years to a woman I thought i was meant to share the rest of my life with but even somebody I was certain was meant for me left, leaving me wondering how I got it wrong. Admittedly my confidence in what I want in life has been shattered and I am trying to pick up the pieces again. I changed career, and lost my fiance but not before building a house with her leaving me financially tighter than I'd like.

      I loved your statement about how I need to focus on why I love myself, I know this is true. I have always struggled being alone and not being in the company of others. Given, I live in an empty house, work in a small business with almost exclusively family and most of my friends moved out of state, so feeling alone is kinda easy....what can I say, I just enjoy being a social Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.

      Omg I've never seen that butterfly thing b4, hmmm pretty cool!! Well as a 32 yr old woman that has owned her own home since 18 have been married, been divorced, have my own money, and I would like to think that I'm a decent catch considering I e never had a problem finding someone! However, finding someone and finding a good someone is 2 different things. U said u feel pressured into lowering ur standards but what if all the girls u meet feel like they r being pressured into lowering their standards to b with u? Doesn't sound so nice when it's about u does it? My guess is and I'm sure u will tell me I'm wrong but let me see if I can guess. U r the guy that dates the cute little tiny girls that all ur friends think r hot and she comes from a rich family and prob went to an expensive college but guess what those high maintenance girls have wants that go beyond love just like urs did when u set out on ur mission to have ur arm candy. Now, u may think I'm bein bitchy but u will have me all wrong, I don't mind at all. I think if what u want is a tiny little Barbie doll by all means go ahead. However, if that's what u want then u have to accept that they are just as materialistic as u or looks oriented or whatever ur thing may b. it doesn't take a genius to figure out that for all the reasons u wouldn't leave a bar with an ok cute girl that was super nice but she had 3 kids at home and not even a GED, those r the reasons why the caliber of women ur seeking out find out that u were engaged once and ur financially strapped more then u would like to b and that means ur not gettin them a house anytime soon and ur not taking them on a shopping spree anytime soon and I'm thinking ur friends are tryin to tell u those things and u think its them telling u to downgrade when mayb they want u to b happy and they know that happiness comes from somebody that isn't tryin to stand on u for a social pecking order.
      Now I could b way off track and if I am I'm truly sorry cause lord knows I don't have it all figured out :) and so take this as just suggestions and nothing more but I know when I stopped looking for a guy that my friends wanted I ended up bein way happier even when it didn't work out...lots less drama believe it or not lol lol

    I think you sound like a terrific man that any woman would be lucky to have. I wouldn't let your heart worry about this state though. I know in the past I worried about this 24/7, and it got very tiring. I too wondered why I am single-considering I am a great person (not to brag, but I am), I'm talented, smart, considerate, loyal, the whole thing anyone would be lucky to have. I even wrote a story about it-that's how much it bothered me. However, a few weeks ago, I just came to this acceptance with this state. I know that when the time is right, I will meet someone amazing and wonderful. I know that's really cheesy and everyone says it, but that's the truth. It's the same for you. Maybe just try to accept your singleness and keep up the great qualities you have. I don't know into your faith life you are, but maybe reflect on why God wants you to be single...is there something going on? Don't immediatley say no, just think about it for a while. I recently read this article that talked about why we're single-and how it's looked at as a lonely and horrid state, but it's not. If you want, I'll send it to you. It's from a religious aspect, so again, if you're not into that, no worries. Regardess-best of luck on your journey :)

    Maybe you are to blame too, as most men take looks over personality. I know the guy I am in love with at present does. Looks are paramount to him. I am a good looking girl, but I don't look like a supermodel, and that is what many men nowadays want. Tall, slim, big boobs, long hair, you get the picture...I am sure you are a decent guy, but that is my experience of most guys, educated or not. I wish you luck in your search for someone special!!
