A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Why do some people have absolutely no luck? I'm 29 and I'm beginning to wonder what's wrong with me! I've been interested in guys and had a series of disappointments, but I've never been interested in someone who reciprocated. I really care for my best friend, maybe even love him, but he has a girlfriend and only thinks of me as a best friend. Even though I don't think I can love anyone else, sometimes I think I would be grateful just to have someone to share my life with, but every time I'm remotely interested in someone, that person is either gay, taken or otherwise unavailable. I have terrible luck! When my friend told me that he loves his gf and just sees me as a friend, I fell into a deep depression of a broken heart. When I finally dried my tears for him and decided to move on, just when my tears were barely dried and I opened my eyes to other guys... I noticed another guy and got disappointed all over again. And, another (taken). And, another (stood me up, and I never cared for him). Deep down I still love my friend but I am just so sick of being lonely! Why do I have such terrible luck?? Am I inferior???

LazyGuy agony auntWhile you probably want some sympathy I suck at that so will try something else.

Why do go for men that aren't available. Are you a terrible judge of character OR is it perhaps on purpose? As long as your fall for guys who can't respond you don't actually have to worry about getting into a relationship do you?

Just what would happen if a guy did fall in love with you and wanted a long term relationship and there was nothing wrong with him at all, absolutely no excuses for you to NOT commit to this guy?

You make your own luck in life, so figure out exactly how you manage to pick a guy who isn't available every single time. That ain't luck that takes careful planning.

im about to turn 21 and seem to be on your pace when i turn 29. im a male and we both seem to share a common outlook. i am not stubborn enough to say im impatient cuz i know i am. believe i or not im a pretty good looking guy and still a virgin! haha i laugh about it sometimes but i come here to find a answer to get help and advice. i feel like i have terrible luck as well but i guess i just have to look forward to tomorrow when our luck does change. could we just be ONE OF THOSE that dont get married? i dont know but we cant think like that. i wish my mind thought a bit differently. i am a fast thinker and have a great awareness. maybe thats why i luck out when it comes down to clutch time... i dont know

eyeswideopen agony auntWhenever love seems nowhere around, remember it's waiting just to be found. You're not inferior just impatient. Hang in there when you least expect it you'll find him.

The majority of bad luck comes from picking a partner who is out of your league. You need to look for someone with comparable looks to yourself. This may be average.

Then you want someone of the same intelect.

Do this and you find your luck will change.

Good luck
