I'm 32 and have never really had a boyfriend. I've never really been kissed, no sex of course. I've been in love, or at least I thought I was at the time. I seem to fall hard for the unattainable. I fell hard for a guy I grew up with, we were friends, but I kept waiting for it to become more. It never did, but it took me ten years to figure out. Here in Utah if you are still single in your mid-twenties you're an old maid. No one even looked at me twice until I met Brandon. I fell hard with visions of wedding bells and baby carriages in my head. We talked about marriage/kids but the harsh reality is that we've been friends for three years and he never touches me. I need intimacy, but I'm unsure how I would react because of my history. I feel so discouraged and undesirable, why doesn't anyone want to be with me? My "mommy" says there is someone special out there for me and that I will make someone a beautiful Bella one day.

" for a while after i was abused, i couldnt get sexually close to anyone..it was hard. i actually had a boyfriend, knowing what i had been through, tell me during sex, that he was going to rape me. immediately, panic and uneasiness came over me and we didnt have sex for 5 months after that. you will find someone, it takes time. ive come to realize that if you stop looking it will find you. and when you do find that someone, when the time comes, it will feel right.
patients hun, and just know that you are already a beautiful bella, the right guy just hasnt found you yet. "

" I have a hard time being in sexual relationships, and try to avoid them. I feel like when I'm ready, I'll be ready.Sometimes I want to have a boyfriend but I'm don't want to deal with the shame, gulit and pain that comes along with it.

Just try to work on yourself for now. That way wheen you enter a relationship you'll be able to put your best foot forward. "
