My question is this. I am a single 33 year old female. I have not had a real date in 3 years. What gives?

You have to consider this: what type of image are you projecting to the current pool of available guys?

If you come across as a career driven person then most guys are going to turn away from that because they know they can't compete with a career. In this economy having a good job can be more important than a stable relationship. So that is a factor to consider, guys know that they can't compete with your career so they'd just rather not try at all.

You also have to remember that most guys are just now coming into their mature years where the years of wild parties and random hook-ups are taking a toll on the conscious as well as the self-esteem and I'm sure a lot of guys feel the same way you do, in that the nice girls really don't want a bad boy any longer.

You're going to have to seek men who are in unlikely places. I would suggest Barnes and Noble and Starbucks as a starting place, just look for a guy your age who is reading a book or browsing the coffee selections. If you live near a community college look into taking a night class or a weekend class, probably some nice students as well as professors who would be ideal candidates.

ilive in n ireland and i need a job?

We Answered:

It's always worthwhile having a chat with EGSA (Educational guidance support for adults). I know they have an office in Belfast city centre (I think it's up around where INST school is). You haven't said where you live in NI, so its hard to be specific about what your options are exactly. Your local tec will have a career advisor who can also give you advice on training schemes being offered there. Also check out the Tele on a Tuesday and Friday night for the jobfinder paper.

Need more advice. I am a single 33 year old female and no real date in 3 years. What gives?

My Guess:
If you are older and more mature (in general not in age), then you are less approachable. Men that's younger, normally look for a fast cast, but you represents something more stable. So is it a bad thing?
No!
Men with a better view of maturity will try to approach you faster. If you are interested in a younger person, then you should go where people know singles hangout. Smile more, and more eye contact. You have to give off a 'I won't bite you attitude' but only to those you are interested in.

But be careful, because the kind of woman you are (mature in nature and very busy) might find it hard to deal with a less than mature man after the relationship begin.

Is Sage Line 50 Training enough?

We Answered:

Book-keeping isn't just the use of pc's - you need to be able to understand the basic accounting functions - why not try taking an accountancy qualification which will back up your Sage skills - AAT is the best and can be done part time, ask your employer if they would be willing to sponsor you in return for a well trained all-rounder with diverse skills. If not, you can find an AAT course in your local college, normally a few hours a week or distance learning - not cheap though.Best of luck.
