Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Recently I've been trying to start dating. I'm 24 years old and never had a boyfriend and I'm a Virgin. I really want to meet someone, fall in love and have sex but I want it to be with someone special. I haven't had any luck meeting anyone on match.com. I feel pathetic that I'm almost in my mid 20s and I haven't met anyone yet. It doesn't have to be the person I marry but I want to meet someone. I want to be loved and wanted by someone. Part of me doesn't think I'm attractive. I've heard that it's better to be single but I'm lonely and single. I don't want to wait until I'm in my 40s to have sex. What should I do?

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
That part of you that doesn't think you are attractive could be playing a HUGE role in this. People who sincerely love themselves attract love as surely as birds of a feather will flock together. The phenom is PURE attitude and has little, if anything to do with your physical appearance. My suggestion is that you work on that piece while you let the mysteries of love work their wild magics unimpeded. Love will come when **you** are ready.
Just opining. . .
Gentle support while you sort your own opines. This very forum is a good place to do just that. Welcome aboard.
Listening. . .
The suggestions above are all appropriate. First, learn to love yourself as you are. Be confident with your self. Practice standing in front of mirror until you can feel the confidence.
Take a self defense class. This will help you avoid major disasters in your exploring of places and people.
Be careful and make sure someone you trust is aware of where you are when you do go out to meet people.
Try activities where you want to learn new things.
Best wishes.
