I'm 36 and I've never been somebody's "love at first sight". My friends all have stories about how awestruck their husbands/boyfriends were when they first laid eyes on their girls. "I knew you were the one", "I knew I was going to marry you", "I didn't even see your face and I felt a connection", "you were the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen", etc. It feels completely miserable to have made it this far in life having never been asked to dinner. I've never been pursued. I've never been chased. I've never been the mysterious girl that everyone tries to court. Nope. Just me, doing my thing, living my best life in peace. I get told often (exclusively by women) that I'm so pretty. I've had compliments from men along the lines of, "Oh, wow, I had no idea you were 36. You are a beautiful woman! " but I never get asked out. I never get romance. Nobody notices me.
"WhY doN'T yOu jUsT AsK THe gUy OuT? MeN LoVe A CoNfiDeNt wOmAn."
BECAUSE, BARBARA, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE BEING CHOSEN/COURTED/DESIRED AT LEAST ONCE IN MY LIFE.
I've asked plenty of men out but it never feels right. It feels like they're being inconvenienced or settling. That, and they never care if I stick around or not. They never want to call me their girlfriend. They never want a label. Everybody else though, they've married and divorced by now and I'm still single.
I feel super invisible and kind of wish someone would look at me with the same enthusiasm my friends get. They're beating men away with a stick and I'm over here like, "Must be nice."

People just come and go
I accept the fact that there are people in our lives that can stay in our hearts but not in our lives. It hurts deeply but you'll just gonna feel more the pain...
Don't compare your life to your friend's lives. Their lives are one way, and yours is another. At least you aren't divorced and don't have a failed marriage behind you.
Replythere's always a possibility. Don't count yourself out. If you really want a guy try being flirty and make the first move if you're into a guy. They like that too. Some anyway. But even if you don't find love soon try to find happiness with out it. It's not easy I know. Life gets lonely. There's numerous ways to meet people don't give up.
