My journey living TR from step 1. Support needed please!

Hi there,
Well for some reason or other 2008 has been a complete wake up call for me. Needless to say it has not been tearless nor chocolate free either.
Yes, I am at that stage in my life where it seems EVERYONE isdating someone/married and loved up and I have been accepted by all my loved ones as the "happy single one". The one that doesn't require a plus one when invited weddings! Grrr.
I just don't know how I have got to this place in my life where I am still not finding dates even. I am 27, people say I'm attractive and witty and guess what there are zero men interested in me?! I am not telling a lie when I say I have not had a single opportunity for 5 years at least!
So I'm trying to assess myself. On the exterior I am confident, run my own business and am very sociable. On the inside I am so shy and actually am in disbelief if a man likes me. It all goes back to being at school and boys teasing me and asking me out for a joke! How cruel but for some insane reason that feeling of insecurity has stuck with me. I am the proverbial swan. Calm and serene on the surface but under the surface of the water I am paddling like crazy to keep afloat of the situation.
So step one, I have bought TR. Step 2 I have read it. Step 3 I have joined OLD too. So now it brings me to this forum as I need the help and support from others as I have NOoooo single friends and they just don't understand.
Today, I am taking time out to buy a new lippy and spend some time on me. Wish me luck!
