How do I get a boyfriend?

I am now 25 and I have never had a boyfriend. I sometimes become so sad when I see couples or my flat mates enjoying time with their significant other. I am also praying and hoping I will be blessed with a SO (husband). I am 5ft4 and curvy and I sometimes feel insecure about this. All the ladies I see in relationships are physically fit and I am not. I am really busty, short and cute-ish. I am not your blonde bombshell. I don’t go out a lot. I was experiencing depression for a while due to some trauma and low self esteem that came from it... etc!

Anyway, I am working hard now. I don’t know if I should lose 50-70lbs and become really slim.... then try. But the truth is I am lonely. I have accomplished much for my young age but I would like to have a man to call my own. A man proud to be seen with me in public etc.

I’ve been sexually active before. Now celibate due to religious reasons.

Also, make sure you aren't telegraphing 'stay away' messages because you're not sure of yourself. A LOT of dating/romantic communication is body language. Don't cross your arms to hide your bust. That says 'stay away'. Don't slump, that says 'I'm not interested'. Don't be afraid to show your interest in someone by using eye contact, a hand on his sleeve when you're talking or laughing. Men are just as fragile as women, and they don't like to risk making a move if they might get shot diwn.
