I am 23 years old, almost 24, and I have never had a boyfriend. I was never the girl who thought of herself as attractive or good enough and certainly never would put myself out there to be noticed by a guy. I have had various crushes over the years that never really amounted to much because I was always too afraid to actually talk to them for fear of saying something dumb, which usually happened anyway, I kept to myself. I would stare at them from a far and dream of the day that they would finally notice me. As I got older, I made some guy friends that eventually ended because of distance, toxicity and emotional hardships that were too hard to overcome. My experiences with them never amounted to much of anything but always ended in the same way, me feeling miserable. I was sick of it. I hated the way that they made me feel like I was not worth their time and effort. So, I decided that I would stop putting in the effort because it was never reciprocated in any way. It took me a long time to be comfortable with self and my body to have that all go down the drain because of some boy. I still have crushes here and occasionally feel sad when I see all of these people happy in a relationship or getting engaged but I am happy with my life and that is what matters. I am in a good place for the first time in my life and I have worked too hard and too long to get here to have it messed up. When the time comes and I find someone, I will be ready for it. I am just going to live my life and take everything as it comes and not worry about the rest. Life is too short to worry about the little things! Being single is fun and free and right now that is exactly what I need! I have my friends and family and that is more then enough for me.
