dating in your 20's

Im starting to get a bit down. Im late 20s & have never had anything serious with anyone really.

I do get male attention and I have been on the cusp of things getting serious (a few weeks/months in) but it's either I'm not that into the person romantically or, for whatever reason, things fizzle on their side.

The last few years I have dated but not seriously and have been very into work and my career. However I have an amazing group of female friends and no male friends really - it would be really fun to have someone to do relationship things with e.g. weekend breaks etc etc - just can't really do it with your female friends in the same way

The last two guys I have dated were not LT material and I couldn't have seen things getting really serious, but I did enjoy chilling with them. The last one pulled back as he thought I wanted something more serious than he was able to give.

I just want to cry, how is it this hard?! I (think?!) I am easygoing, good company, fun, good listener, laugh in all the right places, make an effort with appearance and scrub up pretty well (told I am pretty etc)... What more do these guys want? I just feel like I have wasted my 20s alone really! I dont even care if it doesnt last, just would be fun to have someone to do these things with.

I am using the apps but perhaps need to look in different places?

I am not even really looking to settle down, Im not sure why it is so hard?

Sorry for the pity party but if anyone has felt similar, please share as this is rubbish!

You sound absolutely lovely and balanced as a person so the only thing I can think of is that you're looking at the wrong men.

It's like any equation....it's not you so it must be them. What sort of men are you attracted to? Same age as you?
