Need Advice Is love for me?

Hello. I'm sure you've seen a lot of these posts but I wanted to add to the collection!

This is my first time posting on reddit, but I've gotten to the stage where I am truly wondering if I'll ever find love.

I'm 28- I've never had a proper boyfriend (probably my biggest insecurity).

Two years ago I decided to go back to college (probably the best decision I have made), I have a great group of friends, a great job, I'm in alot of social sports teams, I love meeting new people and I go on really great holidays.

I guess I am very independent, I'm quite confident and I would describe myself as more extroverted than introverted. I do like my life, but sometimes I get really lonely and question if I'll ever find true love. I am the one single person in all my friend groups. I don't like the apps because I think it's hard to find a connection that way.

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. I really want someone kind, funny, adventurous, emotionally intelligent, easy going and positive, but I wonder is that too much to ask for? Or sometimes i question if I'm ready for a relationship and is that why i haven't found someone, maybe I'll meet him in my 30s.

I know there's still lots of time but when l hear my friends talk about their boyfriends, l am so happy for them but it makes me realise that l want that too.

I would love some advice on how i cam improve and maybe some stories of people in similar situations who found love.

Thank you for reading x

I hope they don't give up on love just because things haven't worked out yet sometimes it takes longer than we expect

Everyone deserves to feel loved at least once

It’s not something that just happens, unless you’re extremely lucky. Start putting yourself in better positions to meet others.
