hey,

Lately I have become very lonely lately and finding it hard to find someone to date. I have been single for 18 months now but had a few dates and just not clicked.

Unfortunately I dont have many friends my age. Those older than me are married and have 2.4 children and dont understand why I am finding it so hard to find someone. (maybe its just me). And my younger friends say I am gay (which is such a great answer) so hoping everyone can inform me either way. confused

It's sad when anyone is lonely. Keep looking! You'll find each other..... Take a leap of faith; if you find someone you're attracted to here, send a flower or note. What's the worst that can happen? They don't respond? So what, keep looking. What's the best that can happen?

You make a new friend..... or more! very happy

jdunne1980: Love the advise. But it would look a bit funny going to the movies or any other date with a pet. Also conversation would be very one sided.

Maybe or maybe not. Would like to be proven wrong though.

Don't worry man. The universe is unfolding as it should and won't let what's for you pass you by. Make the most of what you've got and enjoy yourself.

Hi idunne1980,

Nothing sad about being lonely and wanting to be with that special person we all seek, otherwise there would be no need for sites like this one beer

Just got to keep your chin up and if you see someone on here you like, (or anywhere lese), contact them, you have nothing to loose but maybe a lot to gain!! comfort

It's only sad if because of it, you're not truly living your life. Find a hobby that you enjoy, there are plenty of activities out there to choose from. Try your hand at something new, go somewhere new...you never know who you might find.

And I'm sure your married friends must have other single friends of the opposite gender. Being "fixed up" by friends is how my SO and I met each other, and it's working out very well. Friends know you and know who you might like and fit well with, so they're more reliable than other means of finding a SO.

Work on you, and on your life. Enjoy each day to the fullest. And don't let yourself feel desperate...the moment you start to enjoy being single is usually when someone comes along, so sit down and focus on all of the things you enjoy about single life. Nobody to tell you what to do, nobody to have to plan your life around, nobody to have to ask permission from to hang out at the pub or have a group of buddies over. You can clean up when you want to, and nobody complains about the dirty clothes on the floor or the dirty dishes in the sink in the meantime.

Don't stop keeping an eye open for that person, but don't make it the focus of your life. Best of luck in your search. wine

I'll throw something out there meant to be helpful and kind. (Getting cold feet about posting my thoughts as have had some negative comments. I really do not want to offend. that said...)
Being "lonely" is not the best frame of mind to be in while looking for companionship. Becoming your own best friend and finding that you like your own company will make it easier to find someone of quality. People are drawn to people who are comfortable with themselves, and have the appearance of being so. Everyone gets lonely at times; learning to not be down about it, etc... is a good start. I know it can be hard, but I feel it's essential. Somehow the 'vibe' can show through, and people may think (even though it isn't true) that the other person is on a bummer, or whatever, and then they form an opinion and so on. I hope I explained this O.K. handshake

Btw, the other thing I'd suggest is hanging out here in the forums. It's what I did for a year (I've been a member more than that now, but don't log on as often anymore), and I made a ton of friends all across the US and all around the world. It beats feeling sorry for yourself. bouquet

And now those friends and these forums are why I stay here. wine

So true, Rohaan. Desperation translates through the computer and sends out negative vibes to the Universe as well, which is why it's best to live a full life and be grateful for what you have. Most of us don't want to feel we have to make someone happy, and we can't anyway...it must come from within. Happy, complete people attract other happy, complete people, and have a healthier relationship. wine

Good to see you in here again, my friend! hug
