Just wondering....

Hi everyone....I hope no one takes this the wrong way. I am 23 years old and since I'm so heavy I've never had a boyfriend. Most of the time this doesn't bother me. My profile elaborates on my life a little more but to make a long story short...I have overcome an anxiety disorder, as well as working on body shame/compulsive eating stuff in therapy. I'm a very independent person but I'm really starting to think about dating more than ever. I think at this point I'm at a good emotional stage. I see most of you have signifigant others even before surgery. I know looks aren't everything, but it just seems like it'll never happen to me. I keep saying to myself I'll wait till after surgery. But even then I'm sure it will be hard. Does this make sense? I'm just curious how everyone met their signifigant others and that they accepted you at pre-op stage. I've tried to meet people...I dont get many opportunities...I've placed personals but it seems like I'm always apologizing for my weight. I'll say yes I'm very overweight but I work out frequently and I'm having surgery soon. I've been to clubs/singles dances but no one will hit on me, and I'll admit it kind of hurts. I'm not "desperate" and wanna date just anyone, but it just seems like no one would ever want me. Any advise would be greatly appreciated...thanks! :)
