I know there are obviously worse problems than this going on at the moment. I suppose not working now is making me reflect on things more which is both good and bad.



Guys just never have feelings for me. The last time I had a boyfriend who loved me (I think) was 7 years ago, and i'm 28 now almost 29.



I have tried everything, I've had several 'breaks' from dating, focused on myself, i've spoken to a therapist and friends who cannot see an issue, just that I need to be confident.



I don't think I come across as needy or desperate, don't tell them I love them after one date or anything like that.



I think i'm pretty but could be prettier. I'm tall and slim, I think my face is nice but could be better, so i've decided to get filler in my nose and lips once things are open again, and i'm having braces at the moment.



The last guy left me for an exceptionally pretty girl with a big massive grin and I suppose I have compared myself to her (which is my problem I know).



I've seen someone posting before about guys expecting women to have a certain personality based on their looks, and I think that's my problem.



Guys seem to think i'm 'hot' and want to sleep with me, but i'm quite quiet and nerdy and not an 'out there', party person. I like doing stuff like Maths, Pokemon and computing, but other than that i'm very into hair and beauty and I do a lot of sports.

I'm a friendly and kind person, with hobbies and I like travelling etc. I just think I'm maybe too nerdy and quiet.



I've been told a lot too that I look/seem much younger than I am. I work in a high school and students have even referred to me as sweet and cute, and placed me at 18!



I wonder if they see me as a 'sweet young girl' type too.

Also, I prefer to get to know someone before I kiss/sleep with them, I couldn't on the first date.



I don't know what else I can do. I've been dumped and rejected after so many short-term relationships (less than 2 months).



I think i'm loveable and I also don't think everyone in a relationship has amazing self-esteem.

I want to know what it's like to be in a loving relationship, and it's just upsetting me.

Sorry for the long rant, I don't know what else to do.
