it's never too late for anyone!
you can regester for myspace, facebook, eharmony, match.com. free online dating sites, or even hotlines. i met a lot of nice people on the hotline.
the things i mentioned is worth a try. you may find a good friend.

Thanks. This'll make you laugh though...

I filled in the eHarmony questionaire a couple of weeks ago and it immediately told me that I was unsuitable for matching with anyone! Not just that they couldn't match me right now, but that my personality profile was unsuitable for matching ever! After a few moments of thinking "God, even computers think I'm a loser", I sent eHarmony a fairly annoyed email and asked them if they had actually thought about the effect such a message might have on people who have turned to dating services because they have no other option.

I guess the problem for me now is that over 90% of the people I work with are male, all the women are married or in relationships and my friends have drifted away so I get to meet new people once in a blue moon and just don't get the chance to practice my social skills.

There doesn't seem to be many single women in their 30s either.

What do you mean by hotlines though?

my male bestfriend was turned down from a dating site. he is a computer geek. i honestly dont know what he put down for them to be turned down.
a hotline is dating through telephone. you get your own voicemail box, you vocally record your message about what you look like and what your looking for.
do you hang out much at social spots? you have to get yourself out there!

Well, hanging out at social spots is difficult when you're on your own. The world just isn't designed for truly single people - but for couples and groups of friends.

i agree and disagree!
why?
because i remember 10 years ago i went through my man hating stages. so i did everything by myself and i was content. i lived in philly and went to south street. that's the hang out place where stores closed at 2am in the morning. i used to go to the movies, carnavals, to the beach.
usually you dont find anyone when you desire to have someone, you usually find someone when your not looking.
but i thought the online places would be a good place to start.
i believe it's someone for everyone.

Even if I miraculously met someone now, wouldn't they run a mile when they find out I've never had a girlfriend?

you have to understand everyone has some kind of flaw or issue. you stay with a person because you like, or love them regardless.
i would rather be with a guy who never had a girlfriend, than a guy who had many of them for sex.

Maybe, but know so many guys who hook up with woman after woman as if it was the easiest thing in the world, and of course that means there are an awful lot of women who go for that type of guy. I think all too often people kid themselves about the kind of guy/girl they go for, but the reality is a bit different.

life is a learning experience! i used to date the thug type guy in my younger years. i think i could write a book about all the things they put me though.
i now will not bother dating guys younger than me, or my age. i wont date a guy who likes to blast loud rap music in their car.
i now date older guys who likes soft music. older guys can be more experienced, mature, and treat me better.

Well I'd like to think I'd treat women well and be more mature than younger guys but I certainly wouldn't be more experienced.

It's all academic anyway. I feel like there's a big sign on my head that only women can see and it says "Defective", which seems a bit unfair frankly, when I look at the types of men other women seem happy to settle for.
