We were on and off for three years, but he cheated constantly while lying to me about it. I dont understand - im a pretty woman, caring, honest, and dont depend on a guy to pay for everything (which I paid for everything with my past relationship) I have a great sense of humor - why dont guys ask me out?! In high school I was fat so i figured that was it. All my friends are married and settled down with kids now and I'm still single? Its not like we go out where there is a chance to meet anybody, we mostly go to one of their houses. I work two jobs where I'm around new people a lot and still nothing? Does anyone else have or had this problem - and what can I do to fix it? I dont want to grow old alone! Reply to this Question

If you're pretty, confident and all the positive things then it's possible that you scare men off a bit.
If there's someone at work you might fancy then take the initiative and strike up a conversation.
Else you'll have to go out there and start a hobby.

You don't go out anywhere to meet anyone and the only time you meet new people is at work...well that's your problem there. You don't meet anyone and people at work are either already involved or trying to keep it professional, it's a sticky situation at work especially with all the sexual harassment laws. You need to go out and meet new people or try online dating.

 What's stopping you from doing the asking yourself?
A lot of men won't approach women out of fear of rejection. It's not that they find out unattractive, it's simply they're too scared of you saying no.
Since you're not getting approached, the only logical course of action is for YOU to do the approaching.
