I am tired of being single. I mean it's great to be free and able to "look around," but I'm getting tired. I want someone to call my own, to settle on someone, to get a stable boyfriend. Any tips to how I can do it? Please help! It seems like I'm the only one--out of everyone I know--who hasn't had a lot of good luck in their love life.

    Desperate is unattractive
    Don't act desperate. It's a total turnoff. It usually only attracts jerkoffs.

    Look at it this way...
    Think about it like this: Hey, (you say to yourself) I am an attractive, fun loving chica who deserves the best. I want a boyfriend who will not only be stable, but who will love me for who I am--for my beautiful personality and mind. If you keep saying that to yourself, you will be able to look at being single as a time of totally awesome self-exploration and personal growth. And when you start having fun and showing off how cool you really are, the boys will practically be tripping over each other to get your attention. Believe me! This is how I got my boyfriend, and we have been together for two years! You don't chase after the good ones-- the good ones come to you.

    Patience, my dear friend
    I found that when you're actively looking for a boyfriend, boys tend to stay away. When you finally decide to stop caring and just have fun, they just come swarming towards you, and you can just have your pick from the bunch. Boys are simple that way.

    I know how you feel!
    It seemed like I'd been single forever and everyone around me was getting boyfriends. I was flat out tired of it and a little sad. It's true though, when you least expect it, it happens. I met this really great guy my freshman year, and we're still dating a whole year and eight months later. Don't worry, I'm sure the same will happen with you. :)

    OK, first let me start off by telling you that it is not bad to be single. I mean it is cool when you have the comfort of a boyfriend but you feel so trapped. I am single and lovin' it now. Think of it this way when you are single you can flirt with anyone you want and you also get to flaunt what you got a little bit more. We are two different people but I'm just sayin live your life right now, then start worryin about havin a boy friend. You shouldn't have to spend all of your time tryin to find a boyfriend, but if you still want to, good luck to ya!
