meme, love will find you when you least expect it. It's not something you can search for.

Don't ever compare your life to others and in what they have. Love and Happiness is not always what it seems. We see what we want to see and what we want to believe. When the time is right, love will enter your life. You will know in that you will need to do nothing. It was meant to be unconditionally. That man does exist now in your mind and forever in your heart. Believe :) xx

I can absolutely relate to this. I am 37 years old and still not married. I have had to endure the horribleness of online dating for so long. It has left me feeling so hopeless and jaded. About 3 months ago, I met someone online and we have been talking and seeing each other. However, we aren't official and he is currently in another state and I have no idea when he will be returning. I worry all the time about being alone. I hope one day, love will happen for both of us.

I relate to this a lot. My ex was 39, he's only had 3 relationships last over a year. I fell in love with him, but of course, he lost feelings for me and refuses to give me a second chance even though I've proven I've changed. He's moved on easily and just spends his days talking to tons of women to feel validated.

I'm 23 and have only been in two emotional relationships. TWO. I've gone out on one-off dates with at least 150 guys since 2017... and out of those, like I said, only two I have actually pursued.

I was out at the bar this weekend. My sister and her friend all got a guy. My other friend went home with a guy... I was the third wheel all night.

It is incredibly lonely, when even you know you ARE deserving of love/to be loved. It's just the sad fact that men (or women) aren't the same as they used to be. Everyone carries really bad emotional baggage, even at a young age, now, since the introduction of instant gratification "dating" apps. Nobody works for anything. Nobody wants to stay together. It's awful.

I understand how you feel. Connections are important in life. They are one of our base needs after all. But what is equally important is being okay with ourselves first. I don't know if you feel like you need a relationship to make you happy but just because you are in one does not mean you are going to be happy. Even if you are married. You need to work on your own happiness and find things you are passionate about outside of a relationship. A partner should never be the sole reason you are happy they should only ever add to the happiness you already have. Don't try to force falling in love either. That will never work. Let things happen naturally. Life is not a race and things happen differently for all people. Date, have fun, enjoy your time with yourself and with friends, and when you do find someone you feel a connection towards take a risk and go for it. If it doesn't work out that is okay too. It's not the end if you can't make it work with just one person. Never compare your life to others, only compare to who you were yesterday. I wish you the best of luck friend.

That can not be true. I know it must be puzzling right now but you have yourself have said, u'v seen it with ur friends. I belive ur one will come meme.

Try to adjust your focus to yourself. Love and accept yourself. Try to be a little better every day. Forgive yourself for being beautifully imperfect. Be kind. Be open to new things.

Don’t look for a husband. There’s no rush. When you meet the right person, everything will just fall into place.

But even Mr. Right won’t put his socks in the laundry basket. 😅 Not everything is better for the happily married. There is compromise, sacrifice, and overlooking of those inconsequential annoyances.

I doubt your married friends are really happy. Don’t believe what you see. Never settle

Not what you're looking for?
