How to get a boyfriend?

I’m 23 F and never have had a bf or even a talking stage with any guys. I feel like I’m quite social and nice, I also went to a big party school for college and received barely any attention compared to others and never got into any kind of situationships or even friends with benefits. I have hobbies, I’m in law school which has been super demanding so I don’t get out as much as I could but even my law school friends are all getting in and out of hooks ups and going on dates. I never rlly considered myself to be very unattractive but this has rlly gotten me to think I’m the ugliest human on earth the past few years. Constantly seeing everyone dating or getting married or in and out of relationships so easily makes me cry myself to sleep every night lmao. Also hearing everyone constantly say that men are so easy and will get with anything, makes me feel even worse because they never want me. Does anyone have any advice? I just genuinely don’t wanna end up alone but this seems like Gods path for me at this point.

So sorry to read, in a way I relate. It’s definitely not about looks. I think it’s about knowing how to make moves sexually which can be challenging for some of us. I have a hard time letting my guard down which is the cause for me. Maybe give yourself time; you’re still so young. Did you ever love anyone?

It won't be about looks. It may be that you're giving off an air of nervousness or indifference, unintentionally. Some people just look more approachable than others.

Keep doing what you're doing. Socialising, hobbies, your degree. And don't feel any rush or pressure. You are very young. Very few people of your age have met their 'one' (if there was such a thing). Those who say they have often change their mind later. Build on who you are, what's important to you, what you need from a relationship. It will make you better prepared when you do start dating.

And enjoy life. You can do that without a man.

It is true. People are attracted to confidence. You are 23, and you are in a career which is going to demand literally all of your time.

Keep doing things and come into contact with people. You have to get to know someone anyway before they become your boyfriend. Hardly want to commit to someone you don't know.

You have time to take things slowly.
