I'm sorry you're feeling miserable. Have you been trying to get out there?
I'm in a similar boat!

Don't feel stupid, it takes some time! Have you tried a dating site or going to events that those dating sites host?
They have meet up ones too, and you could try joining a group that fits your interest.
Good luck!

Love23, for some it takes longer than others. So try not to feel too bad. To help my own cause, I try to be outdoors a bit more. I also make some effort to look presentable whenever I'm running errands (because you never know who you might meet in the supermarket). I also try to look pleasant/approachable. It works okay, but I haven't met anyone I'm really attracted to yet. Maybe you can try these things too, if you haven't already. Good luck!

Have you always been single?

I've always been single so.

Sometimes it really gets to me. Well a lot of the time. Especially when other people talk about their relationships and stuff. It hurts a little. Guess I could call it jealousy. Not sure if I should get into relationships because of jealousy.

Not like I have the choice. I don't choose to be alone. I just am. I don't go out enough and I honestly don't try because I fear socializing.I fear being honest about my feelings because it opens me up to getting hurt. I don't want people to think poorly of me. I don't want to be rejected. Also because I am shallow I think. Not willing to go the distance for others. A box of things that prevent me from seeking or accepting love.

Also I like to talk about myself.

Some good suggestions in here. What exactly do you think is the main culprit for your loneliness?

There was another thread discussing loneliness. Another person you love in your life can be wonderful....but you have to figure out how to feel good with you. Someone else will be more attracted to you if you are pursuing things you like to do...others will have that in common with you. Do not pretend to be something you are not to attract somebody...you would not want someone to do that to you...and then you find out "who they really are". What are the things you like about yourself???

I agree completely, about doing those things that interest you. Instead of trying to find where the men are, and trying to please them into liking you. For instance, if you like movies, join a group that caters to that interest. You'd be doing something that you like, and thus behaving more naturally who you are. Men like realness. Being your genuine self, involved with yiur genuine interests is much more likely to not just meet someone, but more likely to have compatibility.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
