Just Wanted to Rant but Please Feel Free to Advice if You Want To!?

well i am 23 years old and soon going to be 24 this january! and i ve NEVER had a bf
i am beautiful (as most people say) and a well achiever(got a good job at an early age and going steady) but i had not so good past! my father was abusive and had no job which made me very very scared of him and still i am very shy and tend to get very nervous! i was always insecure about what my future was going to be and spend my all teenage years just striving to get a good job and had no space or mind for a bf! so just cos of that i never had a bf!!
and now when i am well settled i tend to feel so lonely cos i never entered the dating period and now dont know how to get to know men well ..well i have started now but the pace is too slow ! so i just go on thinking and thinking will i ever get my soulmate!
but the good thing is i am trying ! right! and hopefully god will see my efforts and may gift me someone!! thanks for reading it , if you were!! merry xmas and a happy new year:)))

Take your time. The way to get to know someone is…

1. Make sure you know yourself. This may require professional assistance.
2. Know what you have to offer in a relationship, besides your body.
3. Take the time to get to know someone, before becoming vulnerable.
