I'm sick of being single! How can I be less reserved and more available?

Question - (11 January 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 April 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i'm almost 18 years old, and i haven't dated anyone in probably 3-4 years. in my last 2 relationships, i noticed that my first boyfriend was much more physical than emotional, and i ended up breaking up with him, and with my second boyfriend, he was much more emotional than physical, and he broke up with me. i know that i can be a pretty emotional person, and in more recent years, i've tried to find a balance so that i could become more positive, in order to attract positive people toward me.

it seems like all of the guys i end up liking say that they like me back too, but they can't/won't date for a number of reasons. sometimes it feels as though my standards are too high, or that there's just really no one around me that i share a strong attraction with, and if i do, we basically have to remain "friends", and nothing happens from there...

i guess i haven't dated because it feels like i'm just waiting all of the time for that right person, but more recently i've become increasingly sick of being single. i'm also still young, but this just feels as though i'm wasting my time because maybe i should be out more, making myself more available and less reserved so that i'll have more opportunities for future relationships.

i think i just want to know what i should do about this, not only because there's an empty feeling that i get when i'm around my "friends" whom i feel that i might've had something special with... but i think i've become more lonely in general, and i was okay with it before and i accepted it, and now it's driving me absolutely nuts.

i want to find someone, or at least attempt dating again somehow. i just feel like i've forgotten how.

what should i do?

please help!

raiders agony auntYou are still young and will resume to dating when you are ready. Since you had bad experience in dating you think you can't move forward but you can, your past makes you who you are a now more experience person. Give it time and you will jump back to the dating game and will meet someone that will make you feel like your dancing in the clouds.
