Jumby agony auntI can relate to how lonely it feels, and trust me it does get easier! What you need to do hun is follow a few basic steps and whilst I can't gurantee you a boyfriend from them, I can assure you it will enhance your self worth and you'll find it easier to attract the right type of man for you.

First off you need to improve your confidence. Being alone can make you feel very lonely, and the lower your confidence the less likely you are to notice men who are interested in you. One of the best pieces of advice I have ever been given is "be a creature like no other". Be yourself, and enjoy being comfortable in your own skin. Always dress for you, make yourself feel better about yourself be it putting on different makeup or wearing your favourite outfit for just a trip to the shops. Even when I've not felt like it I make an effort every day for myself. Walk tall, and even if you don't feel it act confident. Keep your head up high and simply smile. This will make you look happy and confident and this is a major attractive feature men go for.

put yourself in new situations and get yourself out of your comfort zone, be it taking up a new hobby or being daring and getting a new group of friends to do something together. The trick is to be so focused on something that guys have a chance to approach you. Say you go to a bar with some new friends, instead of glancing around for availables throw yourself into the conversation and those around you will be drawn to you.

simple tips for going out...maybe push your boundaries. If you see a guy looking at you don't be afraid to maybe make eye contact, smile, then look away. Such a simple technique that others may scoff at but it really works.

main tip? let the guy chase you. as frustrating as it is guys like to be the one to text first on most occasions, and let them suggest dates. In the meantime concentrate on having fun because it will draw people to you.

so to sum: improve self worth (even if its just pampering yourself once in a while), dress for you, act confident, try new situations, push yourself out of your comfort zone and overall have fun. The more fun you have the more you'l notice people being drawn to you. To get a boyfriend you have to enjoy your own company and improve your confidence, and once you do this you'll find the right person...and you know what? sometimes where they pop up will surprise you :-)

YouWish agony auntFirst off - ditch the air of desperation. Cultivate your confidence. If you don't have one, find a hobby that lights you up. Also, you can't expect a guy to just ride in like a knight in shining armor to just enter your life and sweep you off your feet.

Like shopping for shoes, you have to go to the STORE. Go find places where singles hang out (bars, churches, e-harmony, singles places, speed dates) and ask friends of yours if they know anyone that might be a match for you. Friends *love* to matchmake, but you can't sit like a bump on a log waiting for Mr. Perfect to materialize out of nowhere.
