I'm 34, single, never married, never really had a long term relationship, and currently have no prospects.

Reading all of these posts makes me realize how much I do want a relationship! It's just so hard to find a good guy (or any guy at all!)...and I'm not good at meeting new people. But I'm really good at being single and on my own, and I'm proud of myself for being independent. So if the right guy comes along, I'll be absolutely thrilled. But I'm not getting my hopes up!
I was 33 when I met my boyfriend. I, too, haven't had any meaningful long-term relationships and was wondering if there was anything wrong, or I just wasn't meant to be with anyone.

As trite as it was, I gave online dating a go. I was specific, I wrote down all that I wanted, and all that I DIDN'T want. I also just put my "ad" out, and didn't look at any of the guys' profiles. I just waited for what took my bait.

I'm glad that you're not wallowing and waiting for a guy to come along and change your life; you're going about your life and enjoying it. A guy should complement, not complete or complicate your life. I wish you all the best finding that special guy!
