Yea, well I actually also only have one friend who lives nearby. She is my best friend, though.... and she also happens to be my ex girlfriend lol

Oh and you're 28, huh? For some reason, I thought you were around my age.

Which is what age?

I am 21.

I´ve been single now for about 2 years and would really love to get involved in a steady relationship and whenever I see a pair in love, it just brings me down. Last weekend I met my cousin´s new girlfriend and they kept of hugging etc and I realized that after that I felt sad. It´s not that you don´t want those people to be happy, but it just reminds you so much of what you long for and can´t seem to find. It´s like being starving at a fiest, watching people eat, smelling the food, but not be allowed to touch it.
Have you felt the same way?


I've been single my whole life... 32 years and old and have never had a boyfriend (or girlfriend, but not that way inclined) to answer your question yes it plays on my mind quite a bit. then I remember how much heartache and pain I've seen people I love go through at the hands of another and I just realise it's not worth it

that's where I'm at right now, anyway, have had that outlook for pretty much my whole adult life

Find what you love about yourself first. Learn to be happy in your own company and that way your happiness won't depend on others.

Love U .... hug


For a long while now I have embraced singlehood for however long it lasts. I know it's not a bad trend that I'm removing the stigma from being single & decided on alternative ways to lead my single life. I realized I can be just as happy & fulfilled in my life being single, by taking on new interests, friendships, bonded moreso with my family & I am more focused at work. Maybe the day will come when 'the One' walks into my life and the shield will lower. But until then, I will just continue to live my life for me....dove

Not ONE relationship????? I can't even imagine that, and it's quite sad to me to read this. Yes there is heartache involved at times but you can't live your whole life in fear of it. Don't you get lonely?

Sorry, English ain´t my mother tongue and altough I know all the words, I don´t get what True Forced Loneliness route means. Can you explain, please?

I've been single my whole life... 32 years and old and have never had a boyfriend (or girlfriend, but not that way inclined) to answer your question yes it plays on my mind quite a bit. then I remember how much heartache and pain I've seen people I love go through at the hands of another and I just realise it's not worth it

that's where I'm at right now, anyway, have had that outlook for pretty much my whole adult life

I also think this is sad to read. I do want someone even though I know it might hurt, but I am willing to risk it. But first I gotta find someone worth risking it. So far I have not succeded. I have either met those who were not worth it and those whowear, already had partners or were not interested. neutral

nope... not one. most of the time that doesn't bother me. I'm not the most attractive woman in the world and wouldn't be a very good girlfriend either I don't think because I'm very set in my ways.

Hmm. There is someone for everyone out there, you don't have to be beautiful and everyone is set in their ways to an extent. You may be surprised at how much you are willing to change if the right person comes along. Everyone should be in love at least once. I'm not sure I buy the whole "doesn't bother me" thing. I think that maybe if you have a little more self esteem or pride in yourself that you could find someone and experience a great relationship.

I'm not lecturing you, I just feel sad for you and kinda hope that you can let your guard down enough to have someone in your life some day. Everyone deserves that much.

thank you, Carrie... I have been in love, actually, just once. to cut a long story short he was a boy a few doors up when we were both 11 years old, I fell in love very quickly and never told him. he committed suicide when we were 19. I've had big crushes since then (3) two of them I've told and it backfired very badly.

I'm not closed to the idea, just not actively looking for it or waiting for it I guess

hug

Have you felt the same way?



hmmm. Yeah, I know what you mean, kind of. Before I fell head over heels in love for the first time (for real, rather than just infatuation or obsession or lust or settling), I'd come to the realization that though I was actually pretty content being alone, there was a sort of hunger in my heart for something. Since I'm alone again, I've come to recognize that as a sort of "incompleteness" that I was feeling and have been feeling lately, though by no means is it a sadness or a fear/anxiety about being alone. But it's turned into a sort of hunger for something more with someone. Though I'm still pretty confident being alone, and realizing it's the best thing right now, that sort of hunger has returned to my heart. But be careful, because knowing that the person you're spending time with to maybe quell that feeling is completely the WRONG person for you is very strange. The heart says "I want something more." The brain says "Are you kidding me? No way." And the libido, well... it certainly likes making friends and can take over the whole show.

pardon my rambling, but yeah, I kind of know what you mean.

Tonight I had a very clear reminder as to why I am single. I refuse to be bullied, I refused to be abused, any man that jumps in my face and tries to bully me and not respect me for the person I am, does not deserve to know me in any way.

I am special, I know how to love, and about love, the man that opens himself up to loving me will be blessed for doing so. I miss having someone special to love like that, a true friend, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

I have been single now for just over two years, because I patiently wait for love. Love is worth it, and so is the right man. Loving someone makes you grow in character. For now... I enjoy me, but I won't live up to my potential unless I share myself with someone special. heart

just thought I better tell you... to answer your question, I guess because of what I've grown up seeing around me and (um, kinda not really - almost) experienced. it's not a big deal to me, most of the time. I'm a fiercely independant person so have never really felt the need to.

one day, maybe... I agree, I think there is someone out there for everyone nod what it comes down to is I know that my 'one' has passed for this lifetime
