It’s a huge problem in my life. I’m 24 and have still never had a boyfriend. I have hobbies, I take care of myself, I love cooking, and all I want in life is to get married and start a family, but I don’t even know if that will happen anymore because of a continuous pattern of guys never taking me seriously. These days whenever I meet a guy, they act super interested at first, tell me how attracted they are to me, but usually end up ending things without even really getting to know me. I feel like most of the time it’s because they were just looking for something casual, but many times even after going distant, or saying they think we’re not a good match, they continuously revolve around me, contacting me here and there, which is what one guy I was actually interested has done, but hasn’t stepped up. The guys I’ve been meeting recently to me seem respectable and have good jobs, are polite and treat me with respect for the most part, but it never goes anywhere. I’m not super experienced so I am not interesting in putting out right away, and wonder if that’s why. I also I model so some of my male friends say guys might be intimidated and think I’m out of their league, and are insecure, but I believe I show enough interest by being receptive and doing acts of service like cooking for them or getting small thoughtful gifts so I’m not convinced it’s this.
