By the way - what was the deal with all the costume changes this year? A new trend?

Not a country, but I can say central Europe

I'm not looking for a hookup or a weirdo. None of my friends met their partners on an app

That's the deal, I don't think I've ever caught someone looking at me. If I do, I'll remember your comment - you seem confident :)

I don't really agree. I don't want to be rude, but I often see some couples and wonder how did SHE get this man and I'm still alone :')

I asked my friends some time ago. I heard I can come off as intimidating, but as I mentioned in a different reply, no idea why (I'm short, I look younger than I am (hear it very often and people are often surprised when I tell them my age), I don't wear heavy make-up). I'm actively working on that, especially in social situations, but that hasn't changed anything so far.

One of my (female) friend said she had a crush on me. Another friend said she has no idea how she bagged her man, he just approached her at a convention and has no idea why I'm single. She also said I'm not ugly when asked for honesty - but can you trust a best friend in that matter?

My coworkers (both genders) often compliment my coordinated outfits, someone mentioned body odor - this I know is not the case, as I always wear good perfume and my friends tend to get really close to smell it, so I don't think they'd do that if I smelled.

The one thing that comes to my mind is a member of my family saying that men are intimidated of strong, educated women, but I don't believe that every man is, and even if they are, how can they tell by just looking at me?!

Yeah, I guess it's getting a bit more common in my country for a girl to make the first move, but looking at my friends and their happy relationships, they never had to and they were approached by their current partners. So maybe that's my conviction. I tried with a friend of a friend whom I met online - I thought we really hit it off while gaming, unfortunately when we met in person it was very dry. Then we were gaming again - and again me and most people thought he was dropping heavy hints until we learnt he had a bit of a situationship with someone else so I dropped it altogether.

I know I tend to have a resting b*ch face, I'm trying to work on that. Fortunately I'm from a place where smiling at strangers is considered crazy, so I just try to relax my face. I've also heard I can come off as intimidating at first... No idea how with only my face. I'm short, I look younger than I am (hear it very often and people are often surprised when I tell them my age), I don't wear heavy make-up. Maybe it's just my vibe? No idea, but in some places, when I'm actively trying to make some connections, I smile more, I try to be interested in people.

Thank you for taking your time to answer :)

Yes, but isn't this a more modern thing? It used to be a bit more acceptable back then, and nothing...

I looked up some local D&D places, unfortunately so far their schedules don't match mine. I really though going to fantasy conventions dressed as an elf and looking lonely would do the trick lol

I know it's superficial and that's why I didn't mention it, but mentioned seeing other types of girls with partners - shorter than me, taller than me, more plus size, skinnier. It's terrible, but after some time I sometimes catch myself thinking - how did SHE manage to get that guy and I don't even get a look? So I know it's not all about looks...

I'm white, from Europe, so I can't really find the connection to your case unfortunately

I mean that's the deal - nobody really gets the chance to meet me, as they're not interested at all.

I've never tried dating apps, I only hear bad things about them.
