Why is it that I can't find love in Texas?

I had the same problem when I first moved here (Texas).  I came from Upstate New York, where guys are way more foreward---  people are more reserved here in that way, it seems.  Put yourself out there---  ask someone out for coffee, ask to meet for lunch, you know, little "safe" dates.  After a few of these, you should know yourself if this is a person you really want to date.  Don't do the bar scene dating---  you meet so many crazy, wild people who don't really want a relationship.  Another idea:  ask close friends or relatives to "set you up".  Or, you may try Yahoo! personals.  It sounds risky, and may be, but I met the most awesome man online 14 months ago and we have an incredible relatioship!

Well, I am an awesome single woman, and I live in Houston, TX.  I am well-educated, well-mannered, and attractive.  How about that?

Im in a situation like that right now and I need some help too. When Im with him the relationship is alright and cool, but when we're not together all I find myself thinking about is, "Do he feel the same way about me?" He's very shy when it comes to me. He came from Abilene, and he was in a relationship down there, but sometimes I have to ask him are we still together.

It's known that when someone is looking for a relationship, they will never find it. Maybe that is why I am still single...Hmmmm....

It could be because you just haven't found the right person yet. I know, I know, it sounds totally cliche, but I'm 22 and have a similar problem. The best advice anyone has given me is to just focus yourself and what you want in life and the right person will come along.

Sometimes being "fine, slim and tall" is not enough.  You have to have a nice personality, and a good sense of humor.  Or at the very least find someone that likes your personality, sense of humor, etc.  It's that whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing.\n\nSomething else to consider is, maybe you are not the problem, chances are there's nothing wrong with you... maybe the guys in your town just don't have good taste when it comes to women. \n\nBe patient and open-minded... finding someone special is always worth the wait.\n\nGood luck!

Things are tough all over. I have been looking for a long time and no luck. So don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Maybe you are still looking for that knight in shining armor to come and sweep you off your feet. Good luck' There is no such thing.

The best advice I've heard is to be introduced to someone that friends or family know, in your area.  A safe place to look?  Your school, a dance, a football game, any sports activities.  Even grocery shopping can be a place to meet someone!  Usually, love will find you, you don't have to go out looking for it! You may have heard this, but it really works.  Happiness to you!!

You sound like you may still be quite young.  If you are, take your time.  Try to relax and enjoy the friends you have.\n\nI think love is hard to find because you are looking for it.  If you don't look so hard, chances are that love will find you.

In what sense?\n\nIf it's about self -- Texas women (specifically, Dallas) are some of the most beautiful women in the world. We are also the most sought after, so I would suggest some heavy courtship if you want the hand of a Texas woman. \n\nWe are both modern AND old fashioned and I love it. \n\nThe white women here don't have flat behinds like their northern counterparts (no offense but it's true!). \n\nThe black women have faces that are refined and ready for the runway. \n\nAnd the debutauntes are positively gorgeous (and daddy's money helps with that, too).\n\n\n\nEveryone loves a Texas woman, my dear. \n\nAnd we all know it, too.

Sometimes you won't find people, they'll find you. Have you ever noticed that if you're actively looking for something, you won't find it... and then when you relax, you realize it's been right infront of you the entire time? It may work like that.\n\nYou are a smart and intelligent female with a gentle heart, from what I've seen here on Yahoo! Answers. Being so, you must have an inner radiance that shines so brightly, I'm surprised you haven't a husband yet! (More surprised to discover you're 31, as you always came off to me as your mid 20's... like 24.)\n\n\nWell, let's look at the pros and cons of a husband, shall we? (and let's humor you and say he's Hindu and views God like you do)\n\nPros - A companion, a lover, a best friend, someone to discuss new ideas with, someone to love, someone to love you, someone to attach to emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally\n\nCons - Another person to take care of, someone to argue with, someone to get stressed over, someone who needs constant care, someone whom you may at times want to beat the cr*p out of, someone who -- while he shares your beliefs -- is quite different than you and will have AT LEAST one thing that will tick you off to no tomorrow that he'll refuse to change.\n\n\nFate and Destiny has been selected for you already, as it has for everybody... at least, it's in my opinion for it to be so. Just wait for him to come, or for a symbolic message to come saying that you should "marry" God.

It sometimes gets discouraging doesn't it?I completely understand what you are saying.\nFor me it has taken realizing that the right person for me is not in my town and most likely not in my state.Opening up to the possibility of the right person being in another state widened the potential matches.\nI guess that is not for everyone,but I did not want to miss out on the right person just because I was stuck on thinking they are near by.\nI wish I had the answers but I don't all I know is sometimes we do need a break to just "be" as the search can be exhausting on soo many levels.\nI know many people will tell you to stop looking and the right person will find you,but what if everyone just sits back and stops looking??LOL I am not sure how that would work then lol\nBottomline you have to do what feels right for you :)

The south is full of beautiful women for sure.  Texas wins this one because of: Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, and Austin.  Those cities attract women.\n\nI've been to Georgia, Miss, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma and there are soooo many beautiful women in all those places.  I live in Dallas and I can tell you - you can't throw a rock without hitting an 8 or better.  Unfortunately many of them aren't so beautiful on the inside.\n\nIf you've ever spent any time up north like wisconsin minnesota illinois maryland etc you know that this isn't just a myth - beautiful women are more abundant in the south.\n\nOh yeah - you can't forget florida.  if any state could compete with texas it'd be florida.  Lots of lovely imports there ;->

Sweetheart, there is nothing you can do to find love. It will find you and then you won't know how else you lived without it. If you try to find love you could totally miss it cause you were busy looking for it. Be patient.
