Can someone please tell me why it is so easy to get into a relationship yet I have ne

EVERYONE else gets into a relationship with ease. They take no effort at all to get into. Any guy or girl who wants a relationship can have one whenever they please. Every profile picture I see on Facebook is a man and woman hugged up against each other or at least standing with each other. Relationship status of course says in a relationship, engaged or married. When I go out in public, mostly everyone I see is a man and woman walking together. I went to a professional hockey game the other night and I can’t tell you how many couples I saw with each other. Getting into a relationship is extremely normal and common. Guaranteed for anyone who wants them. With that being said, how come I, a 25 year old man, have tried forever to get a girlfriend yet I have never had one? Ever? There’s something badly wrong with that picture. It’s not like I have chosen to remain single. I’ve tried for years and have been left on read, ignored, lied to, led on, the whole nine yards. I would love to have an answer why I have never been able to do one of the easiest things on earth to do, which is get into a relationship. Someone please help me understand and explain to me why this is. It has caused me nothing but depression, jealousy and anger, and I have the belief ingrained in me that I will NEVER have any knowledge of what a relationship is like. In my whole life. When every other person on this planet will and dates easily. Help me.

I think that it seems that way but I don't think it is true. The single population has exploded in the last 30 years. I could easily appear to be in a relationship on facebook as I have plenty of photos with men.. but I am not in one. And I am happy not to be.

I think women are less and less opting for dating for a number of reasons. First, they don't need one in particular because they can work now. Second, you can hardly read a newspaper without seeing a woman abused.. so they are weary... for instance I have the policy that no man who comes up to me as a stranger who asks me out will ever get yes. I it just too dangerous to do that. So my options are limited.

The places for women to meet men is dwindling as well. The number one place to meet men used to be in the workplace but policies are pushing that aside as well.

If it's guaranteed for anyone who wants one, Where's my relationship?

I'm 39 years old female, and I'm still single... with no children...which I really do want at least 1 before my body experiences the change. This is not by choice, thought. Every time I fall in love with a man.. that love is never reciprocated back to me. I can feel the frustration that the OP is feeling.


I'm not gorgeous... not even pretty... I have health problems that borderlines to being "disabled" not my fault of course. I've never asked to have these debilitating health problems. When it comes down to relationships... I'm always in the back of a long line waiting for my turn to come up.

Relationships is not guaranteed.. take my word on it.

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?

To the OP........ where in the world did you ever get the idea that " everybody is in a relationship except you ? "
Facebook ! Lol..... What a farce. Stop looking at other peoples BS online and get your *** out into the REAL world.
I must admit that I'm old school and believe today's society is so screwed up with social media and all the crazy societal changes that are occurring. That aside..... your only 25 years old ??? Don't be in such a hurry to get into a relationship anyway. Not at your age. What do you do ? Are you in school ? Do you have a job ? Get out there. Explore. Have fun.
You'll be married and have kids before you know it , with a 50% chance you'll be divorced before 10 years , or sooner.
Get a life , and then you'll get your relationship. But be careful what you wish for....
