Date advice

    Hey all

    I'm just looking for some advice - I'm 29 and have been out since I was 22 but I've never had a boyfriend. I've a good few one night stands, kissed guys and had a few dates but just never seem to be able to get much further then a date or two

    All of the guys that I have gone on basically gave me the brush off

    I have had a reply to an ad I placed and I would like to maybe try and get past a first date or two - I guess my problem is that I am a very shy person until I get to know someone and also my self confidence isn't always the best - I get all fearful that a person I am dating would think that I was boring (due to my interests) or a loner (due to not having many friends)

    Any advice?

    Go for it. Otherwise you will end in a bad cycle of not doing new stuff for fear of how you might come across.

    Just don't go in with expectations that your life is going to change with one date. I'd view just going on the date as a success and try and go from there.

    Good luck!

    Go for it you seem like a nice person who just wants company its perfectly natural. At least you are not looking for your leg over or a boy toy to look at good luck
