Default The ever so frustrating single life...

I go through phases when I'm single of loving it and hating it....right now, I HATE IT!

I am so frustrated. I have been single now for over 2 years and I STILL have not even a prospect in sight. I don't get it. I am 24 years old, and I am so easy going and easy to get along with, I don't know why I can't ever meet anyone. I'm not even talking about meeting a guy to be serious with (although I am not opposed to that either), I am talking about just meeting men, going on dates, receiving the odd phone call from a guy, ANYTHING! I am an attractive girl and I think this is the time in my life when I should have lot's of potential guys in the picture!
This is me venting a bit..but also, I just want some advice. Are any other young, attractive females going through this?! Where do I meet guys? Everyone says stay away from bars. But I go to school, I work and I have to commute to do both so I am limited for time besides going out on the weekends.
Very frustrating!

I don't have an answer, I just wanted to say I'm in the same situation. Someone help us!!

I'm 21.. I only have one prospect. Hes really unsuitable and is only interested in sex. I've never taken him up on this offer.. but I mean what is wrong with me?

Sometimes I cry over this, like last night for instance.

Anyway I know how you feel.

Maybe it's time to explore online dating or dating events in your community, like speed dating. They are perfect for people who are interested in finding someone, but don't have a whole lot of time to go out and try different activities. I know a lot of people knock them..but my best friend met her husband on an MOZUNK online dating site!

Also, let all of your friends know that you're available and looking. They know a ton of people you don't, and are probably meeting new people. They might meet someone they could set you up with.

I go thru this sometimes too. I mean yea I do meet some guys, but not all of them are dateworthy material. I think maybe once a year or twice I will meet a guy who really is date able, and then I see other girls who really have all the luck and are constantly dating one great guy or another.
But you gotta learn to just get so consumed in your own life that it doesn't even matter if you have someone YET or not, cause your not going to stay single forever. Just try and get a positive attitude where your ok just enjoying yourself until someone special does come along.
That's the only way I stopped hating being single. I just got so occupied with bettering myself in any way possible and hanging occaisonally with school friends. Going to the gym (I know this you can't do since you don't have so much spare time).

I meet guys usually if I go out with friends, and I do stay away from going to clubs looking for guys, but once in a while you DO meet a date worthy one, but you usually tend to come across them unexpectedly and rarely. At work I met quiet a few dateworthy guys as well who where clients or workers, lol even though it is best not to date co-workers.
I meet lots of guys on my way to and from the gym, doing errands. Not all really so dateworthy though. Meeting guys thru friends is best I think.

I'm a guy, but I'm going through the same thing myself, more or less.

I stay away from the bar scene myself, so I'm really only looking mostly at school, church and other public places. Naturally, I get nowhere, so it can be extremely exasperating. Trust me; I know.

I used to always think of this as the "best" years of my life. But when you're single and miserable, there's nothing good about it! I feel like I'm squandering the best years of my life alone, and when I do finally meet someone great, I'll be too old and decrepit to be a decent catch.

It's rough, I tell ya.

I always thought it was easy for attractive girls to get dates I understand your frustration as I too am going through the long scretch of single life. Sure, there are many times I wonder why I can't get a damn date but thinking this way will only bring out the blues. Now I just don't give a rat-ass.

There is a lot of truth to this.

To the original poster I feel for you.

I applaud people who can be happy being single... I think it says a lot about them, but I too am very unhappy in my single state.

I've honestly not even gone on a date in a decade... so trust me it could be even worse.... I hope for your sake it doesn't get to that point and since you can at least admit to yourself that your a pretty girl and have a lot going for you it shouldn't

Stay away from bars since most guys there are only looking for a quickie. Join some activitiy groups, get your friends to set you up with someone they know or try online dating as girls get way more hits versus a dude. I am positive you'll have guys flocking at your doorsteps soon. A beautiful, easygoing girl like yourself cannot stay single for too long. Hang in there.

sometimes when your in a relationship you wish you were single, and when your single you think the other side of the fence is greener. i know it's hard finding people, especially as you get older and are out of school. i have the same problems. i'm a single guy and a nice girl is hard to find. many like to play games and have an attitude. where are all the sweet, available woman?
