I have been working on everything about me: my weight, my confidence, my appearance (pimple-city lol), and yet I have somehow managed to only have one boyfriend (highschool and guess what? He was pushed to ask me out in the first place. Not a very nice feeling) I've found others that caught my eye but they usually end it heartbreak. The last couple were as follows: I lost my virginity to one of them, who to this day I can't think about him without feeling like shit, especially considering the guy treated me like shit before and after and has now managed to be happily taken... (wtf?!); two who were supposedly friends, but one was an ass and the other was the "take what you need then walk away" type. I know I'm beautiful, smart, talented, kind, and rather interesting... so why am I still single? I keep feeling like I'm going to meet someone, but nothing yet. My request is simple: Does anyone have any advice for me? Is romance really dead??

 is romance dead? i say no, it is not dead. you may be looking for it in the wrong type of guys, that are only out for them self. first off you don't need to get discouraged, you haven't met the right guy yet. advice for you , yes hold your head up. have self respect, any guy that is pushing for sex , is only interested in what he can get. you will know a man by his character , is he self centered, pushing for sex, ect... ect.. or is he kind , not pushy , wants to spend time with you. romance is not dead. i consider myself to be romantic. i hold the doors open for my wife , open the car door for her , get out and hold the umbrella for her in the rain, by her flowers each month, anniversary trips, ect... take her out and spend time with each other. it would be rare for two people to be equally romantic, i consider myself to be far more romantic than my wife is. the right guy is out there for you , you just have to look at more than what is on the outside, and see what he is made of. i hope this helps, and encourages you.
