Anyone else here take a good long time before their first girlfriend / boyfriend?

I did! My 28th birthday was in June, and my first girfriend came into my life just this month. Took a while -- most of my friends met someone way back in high school, or at least university / college.

Do I care? I used to -- I got angry, bitter, and said all sorts of horrible things about myself. Then, I stopped taking things so seriously, and allowed myself not to compare, worry, or complain.

So no, I don't care that it took me longer! Was it worth the wait?

You better believe it.

So, the best advice I can give the perpetually single is this -- the longer it takes you, the better it is when it finds you. So take your time, smile at people, don't go looking for a mate in every single mildly attractive member of the opposite (or same) gender. You can afford to be picky.
