Heatemyheart89 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Im 22 ( nearly 23) and all my friends bar one are in long term relationships/have children/are married etc. I am single and I am starting to feel a bit inadequate. I get asked 'met anyone lately' and the answer is always no! I am starting to really think I will be single forever at this rate. I don't get asked out and I never really go out anymore due to my friends being pregnant or with their boyfriends. I have had boyfriends in the past.I'm not ugly but not stunning either. Is this irrational to be panicked about being single? I just feel extremely jealous of people who are 'sorted'. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, if it consumes your every waking moment and your quality of life suffers. If you don't feel that you have anything in common with your current social circle, I suggest making new friends. Meetups, volunteering, evening/weekend classes and local events are good places to start. The people asking about your relationship status are most likely just making conversation. Annoying though it might be. Learn to steer the conversation towards subjects that you are less sensitive about. Link to post Share on other sites
meeji Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 My question is what are you doing about it? if you want a relationship you should start looking at potential targets. Do you know what kind of guy you want a relationship with? Are you going out and making yourself available to meet this type of person or are you just waiting for prince charming to knock at your door? There are many sites to meet people these days. Instead of being upset about being single, use that same energy to increase your odds of meeting a great guy. Link to post Share on other sites
