I am a newly 22 year old female.  I guess you could say that I have not lead the typical kinda of a 20 year olds life...I bought my first house when I was 18 and I got my RN when I was 19...I have no school loans...car paid off.....career....and......have realized that I have sacreficed having any sort of a social life tobe where I am today.  Proud yes....but I empty..complety!  I have been on one date in my life...never even held hands with a guy or even shared a kiss.I am a hopeless romantic and feel saddened because I can't watch a love movie and know what it feels like to be kissed..how it must feel for someone to gaze into your eyes knowing they are staring at your heart....love songs are just constant reminders of what I am missing...So  bottom line is....I do go out with friends to dance and to social gatherings...online been there done that.....but every guy I have ever got feed back from has said that I am intimidating and that I am "too good to mess up"....If it sounds like I have an ego I apoligize..I am not in my mind bragging...the sorrow of my loinlyness is croading my soul..and I fight every day to keep thinking I will find someone someday....what Is a girl to do?
If you read your message, you start off with going on and on about how much you accomplished...which is great, no doubt.  But to men, this comes off like, what can you do for me now?  You need to be yourself, not show off so much about all that other stuff.....because that doesn't mean much to someone that just wants to go on a simple date.  Sounds like you don't have much people skills.  You are smart and witty, so use that to your advantage than disadvantage.  Talk about your career to others, but hold off on all the other stuff, until people ask?  Talk to people about sports, hobbies...anything other than all that other stuff.  You should be proud of yourself, you are one of a few.  I too bought a house at age 23, great job at 19, car paid off but nobody cares unless I am married or dating someone seriously.  You need to kick up your heels.  What about your co-workers?  Ask some of them to go to happy hour after work.  Then you can also make few friends outside of work.  Book club, yoga, kick boxing (lots of men!).  You will be happy in no time , just be yourself and have fun!

hi ^^  you are still young, you know.  i was 22 yrs when i had my first kiss and before that i never even had a single date. good things come with patience and in time ^^ so dont hurry.  you aren´t missing anything, i assure you, your whole life is still ahead and any day you might find the love of your life ^^ my advice to you also is to BE YOURSELF just the way you are, you are good enough the way you are and it has nothing to do with material stuff or looks.  there will be a guy who likes you just the way you are, with all your defects. keep an open mind and heart and focus on other things than trying to find someone -then you might find him when you least expect it, that is when you aren´t tensed and desperate ^^  good things are worth waiting for. you haven´t missed anything ^^

 You have done more than enough I believe and be proud of what you accomplish.
I am going to share with you what one guy told me one day. I was waiting for my train to go to work. He sat down beside me and complimenting and asked me where I was going. I told him I was going to work. He smiled then ask me what I was doing afterwards. I told him I was going to school. He was taken back. The smile left his face. He asked me why, if I already had a job. I told him that while I had a full time job, the extra schooling would give me a large hike in pay. He asked me how I did it without  leaving time for having fun. I told him I believe fun can wait. He told me I should considering slowing down. then he got up and what away.
I don't know what got him riled but I am guessing I am not going to like the answer.
If any of your conversations with a potential mate go along these lines he probably isn't good enough for you or any other woman which is why he is still single and looking.

I read this and i think that your in the most powerful position. You have accomplished yourself in the world you have obtained a career, earnings, confidence , house and a sence of self i think you have done it the right way you see so many girls and adult women who arnt as stable as you. Some of these girls\women (without steriotyping) are seaching for a man for confidence in themselfs but not you. YOU want this as something extra to enhance your life so thats real cool. 

The good new is just put yourself out there i know you have said that you have "been there done that" but you have to go to a environment where the people that you are seaching for hang out and also check youself how do you want to be percieved and how are you being percieved.So there it is........................................................one thing more i find myself in a similar situation not as independant as you with the house thing but i still understand your predicement ITS HARD. 

Cool well i hope this makes sence i am writing this at a very late hour.      catch ya
