Anyone else fed up of being single?

[carlytaylor1986]

I have been single for just over 2 years now and it's starting to get me down.

Aren't you just fed up of everyone saying "just stop looking then it will come to you" or "stop thinking about it and it will happen sooner than you think". Does that ever happen in any other aspect of life? i.e. wanting more clients? Losing weight? Don't you have to be proactive with these things? And how can you stop thinking about it when it's all you want? I'm by no means desperate but it would be bl00dy lovely to have someone to come home to, someone to vent to, someone to cuddle. Just want to know I am not the only fed up single out there xx

I was a bit cheesed off with it after 18 months. I loved it half the time and hated it the other half. So I'm now seeing someone as of 3 months ago and we don't live on eachothers pockets so it's working for now.
Try match.com, it seems to work really well. The free ones are not so great but it's really worth it, you get nice emails etc and you get some dates to get dressed up for.

yeah same here, sometimes I think what life with the ex used to be like and don't envy that life, sometimes I think how nice it was and desperately envy that life. Oh don't I have been on POF, eHarmony, Match...all of those. I think I am just wayyy too picky, unfortunately people in my past have hurt me and made me suspicious of things I shouldn't really be suspicious of! When I get paid I am going to try mysinglefriend - my sister is going to write my profile :Scared: thanks for the reply and glad you are happy xxx

I didn't meet everyone expecting my next big romance. I met them to just enjoy one night. Then another if the first was ok. Try that maybe?
It's ok to be picky, you should have your standards. The guy I'm seeing would not have been a pick to be honest. Plus another one was a nice surprise looks wise but no connection.
Go for it, have some lovely nights out x

Also feeling like that. I've been single for 4 years. Not looking my soul mate right now as I'm 20 but at least would like someone to show an interest! Xxx

Get out there! Start enjoying yourself and you will attract the right person. Go out to bars, clubs, local groups anything to get you out there socialising. People always say you shouldn't meet a man in a pub or bar but loads of my happily married friends did just that and they married the guy. Start networking but not online, you need to see people fave to face. I'm happily single but not been out much recently, that's started to get me down. I've been lazy as it's so easy now up sit at home watching tv fiddling with your I phone. I say organise a few nights out, get your confidence up! Xxx

 

[carlytaylor1986]

Thanks for the replies! I find it hard to go out sometimes, like now I'm 27 a lot of my friends have boyfriends so not always easy to get a night out, not as easy as it used to be. My neighbour is also in the same position so we have constant nights in moaning about men and I have my own place so sometimes money is an issue trying to go out. I think it's a lot harder trying to meet someone when you're older! I met my ex online when I was 24 because I was fed up of being single - even then I couldn't meet ppl out. Guess this is just me having a moan but it's so boring and lonely living on your own come in no one there. I'm really glad you're happily single wish I could be! I am generally happy but have the odd moment when I think it'd be lovely to meet someone...violins please hehe xx

 

[MissyMuffin]

Yes going out is hard if your friends are mostly tied up like mine. Get online, I think if you're a bit older the results are better too.

 

[SuzanneF]

Yes, I quite utterly sick of it...! 3 years single, and haven't even bothered looking for about a year now... I'm done looking.... a guy can come to me from now on, I seem to be sh*t at doing the looking myself !

 

[kellybeauty]

I admit I joined a online dating site and met my partner on there we have been together nearly 3 years now, we live together and his a brilliant step dad to my children. I joined the online site for excitement and a bit of fun but met my soul mate :o

I'm 24 & was single for 6 years up until May. I didn't go out looking, it just kind of happened. It can definitely work if you don't go out looking x

That doesn't work lol I've been a bartender for a year and half I've been chatted up by a few guys but never goes anywhere. They seem to want to know you for free entry/drinks and will just chat up other girls around you. And working on the weekends means your busy all the time, no time to actually date someone. It has the opposite effect. Xx

I'm sick of being single too. I've been single for 3 years maybe a bit longer lol.

I decided to be on my own for a while as I kept making wrong choices and ending up with the wrong men.

My brother met his wife's on a dating site and I've heard a few other success stories too.

I've tired pof and it was useless lol
I really like a guy at my gym think he likes me too. I always catch him looking.
I'm too shy to approach him.

Ive Seen a few nice guys at the gym. Great place to meet men and get fit at the same time.

 

[salj]

Ugh I've been single forever. So sick of online dating.

Finally met someone I really like a couple of months ago and then his bloody work sent him to barcelona for 3 months. And now he's decided to stay there indefinitely. Fed up isn't the word.

Bat the eyelids and be like "I don't know how to work this, can you help?" Then lift like 100kgs lol

 

[vanilla]

I can't start taking to him I get so nervous around him lol I go to classes
His always on the weights so it's difficult to say anything. I'm going to have to think of something else.

Imagine if he has a GF now that would be embarrassing.

I am in the process of leaving. As soon as I get my college timetable I'm looking for something else. I've made a vow to be done with male customers. Nothing but aggravation when they act asif they are interested then are all over some other girl right in front if you at work while I have to act all smiley glad you met someone nice while you was at work though. I suppose it is different for everyone! Xx
