Question: I don't really know how this works,...

Ever thought of karma? Putting out good thoughts and affirmations, such as "I WANT someone who is funny" instead of "I DON'T want someone boring". I like to think that it works.
Meeting guys is hard though, but it's not impossible! You're 22! Go out, even if it's to study or read a book somewhere other than home- it puts you around people and possible attention. Concerts, gaming competitions, things that you ENJOY doing.
You mention a part of you is thinking of changing your body and acting more... 'socially acceptable' or whatever (lol). Is it because you're not comfortable with your own body, as in just being in your own skin? Or is it that your just frustrated that your looks aren't getting the same reaction as others'? If it's the first, walk around more, maybe look online and see if there are any free yoga classes or swimming activities going on locally. If you're like me, I HATE working out, especially running. Can't stand it. Swimming in the Texas summer though, that's amazing. I also mentioned yoga because at first it made me incredibly nervous- I can't bend like that! Around other people too?! You want me to do WHAT?! but soon after a couple of classes (and shopping around for the right instructor) I fell in love with it. You don't have to be flexible- it helps you BECOME flexible. It's incredibly relaxing as well.
The right guy will come along, You know it, I know it, but it's just SO frustrating. If it does get too frustrating, maybe talk to your friends, see if they might have any single friends. I mean, obviously you found something in them you like, so maybe it's in their friend too?
You go girl though, it take's guts to post something like this online- something that does matter so much to you. Good job!
-P

You are not alone, clearly. I love my video games too. Trust me, just be yourself and the right guy will come along. Look at what's positive about being single and bask in those things. When the right guy comes along, who will play those games w/ you and rock out to metal w/ you, it won't be hard to give those things you loved about being single, because it'll be worth it. But, until then just enjoy life to the fullest and don't worry about it. I'm single too, but I know there are guys who would like to date me, but I'm not going to change anything about myself to make them happy.

My belief is that the guy that you spend the rest of your life with should be like your best friend. You can tell them anything and do the dorkier things in front of them without fear of them judging you. They should be someone you're 100% comfortable with.

Best of luck out there! I know you'll find the right guy when the time is right!

GIRL! You are me, only I'm in TN.... BUT I found a guy. It sounds corny but I swear this is the answer. You need to come to a place where your happy in your life and with yourself. As soon as you think you'll be happy being single and ready to mingle.... BAM: one comes along that you actually want to be with. Just don't go looking for love. Go looking for good company and conversation. Don't get too serious until it's worth it! Do NOT go changing yourself for anyone BUT yourself. If you aren't happy with yourself, go work out, but don't think you have to be thin for all the superficial guys out there who want supermodels.

I'm in pretty much the same situation, but in the UK, its happening everywhere!
but the one thing I keep hearing, is be yourself, there is nothing wrong with you. Just make sure you keep an open mind, because even tho you do deserve the best, no one is completely perfect

I can't really give you advice because I'm having the same problem here in the great state of Michigan lol. But honestly don't give up, girls like us deserve men who love us as we are including the scifi, horror and obnoxious music. When you find him though send any brothers or friends he has my way lol/

Don't rush or look for love. Let it come to you. He may not be in your life right now, or maybe he is. Like the comment above, be true to yourself. There's nothing wrong with you. Guys like a girl with confidence and the only way to be completely confident is to love yourself for who you are and not be afraid to put yourself out there, video games and all. ^_^

dont give up urself for a guy- theyre not worth all that. as long as you stay true to yourself thats what a guy should look at. you shouldnt have to be fake for a guy to love you because youll get tired of putting on the charade. stay true to yourself and youll know when someone truly loves you for you
