Being Single for Too Long

This is not a blog about fanfiction.

 

Here's the thing. I think I've been single for too long. The last time I've dated was on 2010, when I was still in the first grade of high school and now it's 2015 and I'm currently a junior in college. The reason why we broke up was because my mom didn't want me to date. She told me to focus on my study at that time, therefore I asked him to break up. My mom said that I can get a boyfriend once I get into the university. But, since then until now, I'm single, like literally. There is no guy approaching or making a move on me, which makes me wonder why.

I admit I'm not that pretty, I'm definitely not pretty. But I'm not bad. I have large eyes and long eyelashes, small face, and pretty lean. Well, it doesn't make me pretty, but I think my appearance is alright eventhough my lips are full, I have crooked teeth, and I have a slightly yellowish skin tone from my dad's gene. I'm not the smartest of all, my grades are again just alright, but hey I'm not bad. I'm currently enrolled in one of top 3 universities in my country and I'm majoring in psychology. Hell, guys from other majors adore psychology girls so much. In psychology major, it's normal to have many girls and just a few boys. Many of the girls in my major are pretty and cute. Sadly, I'm not one of those "shiny" girls. Again, I'm really average. For personality, I don't think my personality is bad. I have friends, I get along with others pretty well, and as a psychology student I have high level of empathy. I admit I'm not that active, which means I'm more of a quiet type of student, but I do have campus activities eventhough I'm not participating in university activities. Maybe this is why I'm single--because I don't have that big connection. But again, I don't think that will be the main reason why I'm single.

Now that I'm on my third year in college, my closest family starts to ask me about boyfriend. My mom, my grandmother, my aunts, all of them recently told me to have a nice boyfriend and I was just: "Hehe, I don't have boyfriend or crush right now... Just Korean oppa." I think it's pretty funny that I used to be restrained from having a boyfriend but I had one, and now I'm allowed to have a boyfriend but I don't have one.

So, again I repeat, what makes me wondering is, why is there no guy approaching me? Am I that unattractive? Am I looking myself too high? I'm not looking for answer or advice, actually, I just want to speak this up from my bottled mind :')

i am just saying... these days is hard to find a good guy orwhatever... guys aren't that romantic or interact like kdrama or fics... so just saying, its normal... maybe your future boyfriend would not be in your country or overseas? we never know right? fighting and good luck --

My parents also say that thing to me.
I think most parents will say the same thing about getting boyfriend once we enroll in some uni.
Based on my experience, that mindset 'had' been planted in my head since I was young and I've been single all my life =___=a
I even let my potential 'Mr. Right' slip from my hand on my first year in high school because I couldn't see those attention he gave to me for a year due to my lack of knowledge about guy and bla bla bla *sigh* and I knew this after I met one of his closest friends who enroll the same uni as me.
Most of my friends in uni sometimes ask me whether I like guy or not and occasionally they will jokingly say I secretly am in love with girls just because I'm a touchy person and love to hug my girl friends =3=
I also have those thoughts inside my head. I wonder why there's no one approaching me? Most of my friends have been married now while I'm stuck in the office working my off while finishing my study TT3TT
But there are people who have committed in relationship who also envy my way of life!
They say I'm lucky I have so much freedom in my life ^^d
I think as time goes by, that man who will cherish you with all his heart will knock on the door of your heart ^^ I'm also waiting for him now because I'm the oldest girl in my fam ^^ and my sister has alr engaged but she cant married her bf if I havent found mine. That's the culture that has been passed down in my fam. Weird but yeah I know each of us will find that man soon~
Don't stress yourself ^^d My parents and the whole fam keep asking me when will I be married. I think by pouring out your thoughts here is a good idea ^^d I wish you all the best in your life. Third year in college is hard, FIGHTING!
You obeyed your mother so you must be well educated by your parents.
Good girl will end up with good guy~
Sorry I'm taking up your comment space, it just that reading your post here reminds me of my own situation. So yeah~ FIGHTING!
