Q: Hello Scott,
I am hoping you can help shed some light on a subject for me, seeing you are an attractive professional guy.
I am 26 and oh-so-single. It has been a little over two years since I have been involved in a serious relationship. During the last two years I have learned to be on my own, enjoying the single life and dating here and there.
Recently, I have had the desire to become involved in a relationship again. I am having a hard time meeting single guys that are worth my while.
I am successful and am very independent. I cannot seem to find any men with substance and when I think I do, they don’t stick around much longer then a couple of weeks, or I can’t stomach them after a few dates.
A couple of my girlfriends told me that I can be intimidating. I find this hard to believe, seeing I am barley 5′ 2″. Where can I find professional singles in Denver, and are guys truly turned away by an independent female?
Sincerely,
– Ms. Independent
SCOTT: Ms. Independent my maverick friend, even you should know that just because you desire something doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to get it, especially where relationships are concerned.
You’ve gotta work for it!
I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong; at least you’re actively dating and that’s a good start. Sure, you’ve experienced some compatibility issues with some of the guys you’ve met so far, but keep on kissing those frogs and I promise you’ll find a prince.
Just remember to engage in conversation, get to know them and continue to weed out the weeds.
The game of love can be exhausting but also perhaps one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of life.
