Everything is given to us for a reason. Maybe this time is what you need right now. You are working hard which is good for you and you are working on your fitness which is good for you. Maybe this is the time you get to reflect on yourself with out the burden of a guy so you can then find the right guy. You never know. ALso it is sometimes easier to find something when you stop looking for it.

I agree with this. I really do.


I think having time to reflect on ourselves, our lives, our goals, etc is important.

When you stop looking - is when love finds you. And honestly? You NEVER know where it'll happen!

I totally agree!! Patience....and BAM!! You'll have a FANTABULOUS SURPRISE!! I thought I would never meet the guy of my dreams..and here I am going on 20 yrs come January!! with 3 teens and a 4yr old....lol! I tell the same thing with my friends that want to get prego..lol..timing is all it is...Your beautiful! There is a guy out there probably asking the very same thing!! :flowerforyou:

This is going to sound crass, but I swear it works. Don't look for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now...get a little stank on you. It's weird, but it's like guys can smell that other guys are interested in you. Mr. Right will come along when you least expect it and in the mean time you can have fun with someone and only see them when you want to and continue to work on you.

Also, maybe just try to fit in a little more time to go out in public. Join a running club (if you're into running) or something like that. You'll get outside and meet people and not have to sacrifice your all important fitness routine in the process. You'll be more likely to find a like-minded person who enjoys the things you do, as well.

Worked for me!

Good luck!

I have had the same issues since I moved to SA!! I moved here with my (now ex) boyfriend, and didn't know anyone. I feel like ALL I do is work!! I have met a couple of people at work but most of them are married and have families. Most of the time I feel really lonely!! I'm getting back in school soon, and hoping to meet people that way! This is kind of a scary town for young, single girls to go out and do much alone (or to me anyways!!). How do you find these clubs to join?! I'm all for new ideas to meet people!

Maybe I'll just buy like, 300 cats and be a wierdo lonely cat lady who sits at home on the weekends watching the real housewives while I eat my Lean Cuisines with my cats.

Omg I joke about doing the same thing... 27 y/o single professional here, and still having the same question... Where is my prince charming!?!?!

you need to go out more. I live in Austin 1hr from San Antonio and I love San Antonio go for a walk on the Riverwalk visit Six Flags or Sea World. Go have fun and just when you least expect it someone will come along besides you are so young there's lots of time.

I live in San Antonio as well..... let me just say that when you live here the tourist stuff isn't appealing. I agree that going out a little more would help but perhaps finding a group you click well with is most important. If you have a hobby find others that like it as well and make a group thing of it.... (no dirty minded comments needed there)........ In all honestly San Antonio is full of awesome things to do and places to go. You just have to make your mind up and do it!

I feel the same way especially since most of my friends have entered into their "I am in a super serious realtionship and only want to stay in phase" I feel like I have to find a whole new group of friends which is scary/ sucks. I've joined a rugby team and a kickball team and try to stay as busy as possible with two jobs and babysitting, but I just don't feel close to anyone which sucks. I kinda also want to meet someone to but have no idea how to go about it since i ammmm sooo increadibly awkard hahaha. oh Well Cat (DOG) (FiSH ) Ladies UNITE

It might be because I'm a good 12 years older than you, or because I was an only child, but I can be alone without ever feeling lonely. I enjoy having time to think deeply, develop my own opinions on subjects, going places by myself, including the movies or even to dinner. I think my own company is the best ever. I don't think about getting a boyfriend with too much excitement because having one changes that, and I have to prepare myself to want one (I do like having them once I get them).

This completely and totally describes me, too, except I think I'm so content with being alone because I have a twin sister. We shared a room, shared friends, shared birthday parties, and pretty much everything else until I moved away for college. By that point, I CRAVED being alone. I had a roommate my freshman year, but since then, I have never lived with another person, and I never will until I am married. I am also not the type who has to have other people to do things with. I do fun stuff by myself all the time. If I had more "adult" friends in town, I would hang out with them more, but most of my friends who still live here also still act like they're in college, and that's just not my thing anymore.

As for meeting new people, you definitely just have to go out and do things. Join volunteer groups, local recreational sports leagues, book clubs, whatever you're interested in. I guarantee there are a ton of people your age who are in the same boat ... young, working really hard to establish themselves professionally, either living in a new city or all their friends have left or have gotten married/had kids and have no time to hang out, etc. Those people are looking for new friends/boyfriends/girlfriends, too.

I would suggest getting involved in group activities that you have interests in. I have met plenty of women that I have realized we didn't have that spark but still remain friends by doing things that I am interested in. I am a straight, single male at the moment and generally I am not seeking out a companion but I found that it is much easier to find someone that you are compatible with when you find each other through shared interests. Do you ever look at deals from LivingSocial or Groupon? I have done group kayak tours and group photography classes just to name a few and have meet people.

Edit: You will generally also get to see someone for who they really are in such an environment. It won't be a bunch of guys looking to pick up women like you would find at a bar.
