Hi guys! I have been feeling pretty down for a while now. I do have depression/anxiety. One of the biggest things that I battle with is loneliness. I am 31 years and still haven't found the one. I have been in may relationships, some long term and some shorter, but they just never seem to work out. I can't quite put my finger on why nothing has worked out thus far. I know a lot of the guys I was dating were wrong for me but now that I am older I am selecting better partners but things still aren't working out. I go on may dates and talk to many men, but either I'm not interested or they aren't. The majority of men I meet are not interested in having a relationship. They act like they want one, but in the end they just want to have fun. I have strong feelings for someone that I have been hanging out with on and off for a year. When we are together we hold hands, kiss , go in dates, etc. But we still keep it casual. I think that he believes that I am a party Girl that just wants to have fun when that's not the case. I am scared to tell him my feelings because I don't know how I would feel if he rejected me. Everytime we are together we have a great time but it ends up hurting because I want more. What do you think I should do about this situation. Also, I am so Scared that I will end up alone so I am battling with that also. Any opinions or insights would help. Thank you!
Hugs from:

Sorry to hear this.

Where are you meeting these men? Because some don't sound like they're looking to actively date.

On the flip side, you haven't married someone who wouldn't be compatible with you for life and have realised early on enough that you just weren't interested.

Continue your search for the one but also build a rich, satisfying life aside from that. It's sometimes uncanny how what we are looking for shows up when we are least expecting it. This person you've been hanging out with must have some type of feelings for you or he wouldn't be hanging out. Does he have a girlfriend? Is there a subtle way you could find out which way he's leaning? Good luck and best wishes. Hugs coming your way.

I am meeting Them in dating sites. I don't really know where else to meet men now a days. The ones I meet at the bars aren't any better lol. And you are right a about the marriage part.

Thank you so much for your response! I am living a rich life or at least trying too. I have many friends, a decent job, travel, and have other hobbies but in the back of my mind I can't help thinking that I want something more. I am 31 years old and scared that I might not meet the right one. The person I have feelings for is single. I feel like he has some sort of feelings for me but not really sure what he wants. He reaches out to me every day or every few days for the past year. I think I am going to tell him how I feel tonight. I'm so nervous!

We will all meet the right one, but we need to stay positive. I know its easier said then done. I always have a hard time with this, but keep trying to remind myself. Thank you for the good luck wishes, but I chickened out! I don't think tonight is a good night to do it since it's Monday and all. Also, I was kind of thinking that I rather do it in person?

Thank you, so much but I didn't do it! I would prefer to do it in person I think.
