All my life, there's not a single guy ever come to me and say " i love you "... I feel terribly lonely and unwanted.. I try to be happy and take it easy, but from time to time, it just too much to deal with.. All i wanted is to give my love to someone and to be love by someone.. i wonder how long should i wait?..i've been waiting for too long... Long enough for all these tension to build up inside me and as the year come and go, i am still alone..

Do you work? Travel? Go to places? In order to meet someone you have to be proactive. It is not very likely to meet someone if you isolate yourself.

It also depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for somebody to spend your life with (which I guess you do) it might be a huge challenge. If you would settle for something less - that's much easier.

And it depends on how you treat people. I have a friend who is my age and she has the same problem as you. She's not a bad looking (kind of cute I would say) but she has this dark outlook on life. When people try to approach her she turns into a spiky ball like a hedgehog because she has trust issues and is too afraid to get hurt.

it is all attitude too i think. if you want to be loved it will show and who knows in a few months or years it will show. the timing will be right for love and you shouldn't fear it.getting comfortable with a person is all in the process too. i do believe myself in love at first sight, i guess i'm a bit old fashioned but it worked for me.good luck

At 29, that is an understandable way to feel. I was alone at 29 and felt the same way. You need to find ways to be involved with other people. Do you have any social connections?

When we feel lonely, we dream of having someone to be in love with. The truth is that a lot of loneliness can be cured just through friendship. Spend time with family and look for ways to make friends.

You know I've had guys tell me they love me I'm beautiful, all they were after was my parents money. I've been married and divorced 3 times from all these men who so loved me. Not one actually did love me, they wanted something from me. None of them stood by me, took care of me during pregnancy or delivery, etc. Not one man has done good by me. I so longed for one true love, the con got into my life and really drug me down so far I didn't think I could survive it, but HA I am surviving it. LOVE IS A LIE, make a friend, marry someone who really does care about you. My good friend once wanted to marry me, but that's lost. Now I'm forever alone, and well I'm going to figure out how to make my best life. I'm 41.

I got married (1st and last time) at 29. I met him shortly before that. It was a bit like getting hit by a freight train when we met. Very sappy, so I'll spare you.

Here's the thing though. I forced myself out of my comfort zone. I took risks, started getting out with my dogs on weekend camping trips, took classes, went to seminars on stuff I was vaguely interested in, I intended to kayak as many lakes in my state as I could the summer before I met him. I took a crazy job that paid terrible but gave me freedom and a chance to travel, as well as gave my resume a nice shine.

That's when I met him, at one of those seminars, and we both realized that we shared a rather inane interest in the latin names of plants. That's how simply it started. Been a real rollercoaster ever since, but worth even the worst moments of it.

Had I let myself stay in my home town, going to our hometown bar, and putzing around my own neck of the woods, I'd have never ever met him. He lived hours away. It felt fated in a way, but it only happened because I had to force myself out of my status quo. So it really wasn't like magic at all, though it did feel that way. That was over 8 years ago (when we met). Still working on the happy ever after bit. LOL.

Just a little anecdote to hopefully give you hope. :-)
Thanks for this!
JustJenny
