This is what I am going to say:
Give love a chance, and it may find you.
Remember I was telling you about the line in the book The Perks of Being A Wallflower - We accept the love we think we deserve, and that David and you may have idealized love in such a way that you simply think you won't have it? You're only 24, and you have already developed this cynical, sad way of looking at relationships; by doing so, you're only pushing it further away. Love comes in many different forms. So do relationships. There may be expectations, but never suppositions. Love is what you make of it, and relationships are what the two persons involved build together. Do not envy those who are in relationships, because they all have their obstacles to overcome. The movie A Lot Like Love never showed how those cute little lovebirds would turn out after spending 30 years together. Hack, everytime they see each other, they spend a day or two together, then return to their separate, realistic lives. Much like the story of Cinderella and Romeo and Juliet. The movie was a romantic comedy, and even if it gets every female to fantasize a little, that is all it will ever be.
I'm in no position to advise you, but these are my thoughts every time I see a new posting that shares a similar theme: Don't be afraid to be exposed, to be vulnerable, because only when you are bare that you can feel love. If you ever come to want something, don't sit around and wait for things to happen, make things happen by discovering opportunities, and don't let those chances go. Be honest with yourself as you would to others. If no love is returned, know that it is simply not yours and move on.
You are not asking for too much. You've plainly never asked for it.
[Plus, come on now, you know better than to ask men to do all the work, if any. Just because nothing interesting shows on the surface of a brown package, does not mean what's inside is not any good.]
