As these folks are saying, not everyone is in a relationship. Please realize that on FACEBOOK you're seeing the good image of people, and behind the scenes might not be so great.

Getting into a good relationship is not all that easy. If you're struggling, you might consider how you're coming across to people. I found a therapist who was very helpful to me. She told me her reactions and even pointed out ways I could look and dress more attractively. She said I was turning people off!

Not too long after, I met "Mr. Right." We've been married for over thirty years and have two children. As the saying goes, most of us have to kiss a few toads before finding our prince. I do contend, though, that not being married is better than being in an abusive relationship.

And don't act like you're desperate to marry or be in a close relaitionship--that can turn people away! It's best to be a friend first, I think.

There are some good pointers that people in successful relationships have learned. There's even a classic called How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie that's helpful in lots of circumstances. You might also ask people in real life about what they've learned. I'm sure there are books about good dating relationships, too. Maybe someone can suggest them.

Again, though, please don't consider FACEBOOK as a good guide. Okay?
