I know I am being mard and dramatic this weekend but it really feels like I am one of very few single people left in the world right now!! All of my close friends except for one are in relationships. They are all around my age range too - mid 20s early 30s.

What is wrong with me?!?!?!

    hahaha I know exactly how you feel and I promise you there is nothing wrong with you. I am single as well and all my friends, except for maybe two, are in some sort of serious relationship, if not married... then again, I will say there are days I thank the single gods that I am single because the drama they all have... hehehe :) Again, nothing is wrong with you :)

    I agree... nothing is *wrong* with you!! :)

    I hear you though -- I wonder when I'll find my "Right". But, I figure if I just keep working on me, and being happy with me, eventually I will find that person. It sucks though, because I'd like to have "that person".

    Keep the faith!

    Summers coming though!!! I love being single during the summer, you get to meet so many new people in parties and bbqs. Plus you're bound to attract somebody's eye in a new summer dress you've bought yourself as a reward for gaining a new svelte figure!

    I'm single too and in my early 30s already.... but I'm still happy. That's what's important; live your life, don't wait for a significant other to make you happy!

    :happy:

    31 and single.... It's awesome sometimes and lonely the rest. But I'm picky so maybe God needs more time to work on my future hubby :)

    Try being 46 and single! Hang in there hon! There are worse things than loneliness. Your time will come, I'm sure of it. Be open to all possibilities! *hugs*

    I am single as well. The way I look at it, is there is a time for everything. I do not know if you Believe in God or not, but I believe, that God has a plan for my life. I believe that I have to get me together before I can give myself to someone else.
    Trust me, when it's your time, it will happen, and your husband will find you.
    So while you are single. Take the time to focus on you and work on your growth and maturity. That way, when he does show up...you will be ready! keep smiling :0)

    I'm single too - and much older than most of you! (smile). I agree with the other comments on here - there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with you. I'm single because it's a good thing to be picky. I deserve the *best*, I'm worth it, and I'll wait for "the one" rather than "settle" for something else. Good luck to you.

    I am single ( divorced for 11 years).. Since my divorce i have had one realtionship that lasted almost a year.. another brief that lasted 4 months... Seems men in my age range that are divorced have too much baggage. My ex hubby and i are good friends and we dont have the drama that most divorced couples have. So single i am, and single i remain,, it would be nice to be in a realtionship, but it seems men want to take out their hurt on me after a nasty breakup... jsut my observation. So i no longer think of my self as single.. I'm thinking of myself as drama free...

    I'm single and just turned 49! I have spent more than half my life looking for Mr. Right. Guess what I found? I found Ms. Right in me. I complete me. I was always so obsessed about being single when all my friends are married. Now I'm working on me. I'm actually thinking about what I want out of my life and how to make me happier. It does get lonely at times, but my married friends some times feel lonely too. Enjoy being yourself and getting healthier. Find you first and then the rest will fall into place. :)

    Oh baby, I understand. You are wonderful and beautiful. But it is frustrating to say the least. Try being 38, men don't want older women, they want younger ones. I have a friend that will look at a woman 15 years his junior but would not think of dating someone even a year older than he and I don’t think that this is uncommon or they are just out for a piece of *kitten* and don’t want a relationship (mind you not my *kitten*, it still needs more shape, but other peoples). Oh and add kids in the mix and it is all over. I wish I had some good advice, but alas non-exists..keep looking....remember you are amazing Hang in there; I know it can be lonely. Marriage is wonderful, I loved almost every moment of it, but it can be intensely painful as well.

    **Disclaimer, I in no way meant to offend any man in this posting, please forgive me if I did, it was not done in malice and as we know all the MFP guys are of course top notch…love you all

    I feel ya. All of my friends are married with kids. The closest of them just had their baby on St. Patricks Day this year and now its just me. It's funny I was just having this conversation with my neighbor the other day.

    Right now I'm just focusing on MY goals and don't worry about it. If its going to happen it will happen.

    Another single person here! Single, but content. Yeah, I have blah days when I think of family and friends who are married, but I'd rather learn to be content with myself first and when the right lady comes along everything will fall into place.

    I'm single too at 65 but it's ok although I would like to have that special someone there are times when I enoy being alone and not hearing "what's for dinner", "what did you do all day", "have you done the laundry yet", and "where are you going" or where have you been and what were you doing and with who". I also observe many people around me who are in relationships and marriage and I hear a lot of grumbling, ranting, and discontentment. Of course there are a lot of people with really great relationships too.

    After 18 years of pure hell, I'm tickled to be single. Not her fault by the way, she had issues. I pray for her.

    My friends told me not to marry her too. Did I listen noooooooooooooooooooooooo. From now on I'm following the outline from "Failure To Launch". That is I want the nod from my friends.

    I'm single but I'm just 20. I actually just got out of a year and a half relationship though, so I don't mind being single and not feeling tied down for the time being.

    I'm 36 and still single. All of my friends are married, engaged, living together or dating so I sometimes feel like the 3rd wheel. Then I get a phone call and someones upset because they just had a horrible fight or they want to go out and can't because their significant other won't let them. That's when I raise my hands to the sky and say thank you god for allowing me the freedom from drama. I don't answer to anyone but me and I like it that way.

    Single as well! It is lonely sometimes but what I do like about it is that I don't have to sacrifice my goals and what I want for someone else. It's really allowed me to do exactly what I needed and wanted to do which is to focus on myself. I don't think I'd have enough time or freedom to focus so much on my health and fitness if I were in a relationship so maybe it's true that everything happens for a reason. Either way, try not to stress about it. You are beautiful and I'm sure your "someone" will come along when you least expect it!

    I have one sibling,a brother who escaped the farm for college the year I graduated from high school (1982) and ended up getting married in 1986.
    At his wedding reception the pastors wife told me it was my job now to take care of my parents,both of whom were infirmed and unable to take care of themselves at that point.
    I shrugged it off with a smile but it turned out to be almost a curse so am still single having had to deal with that all of adult life.
    Mom passed away a month ago so now trying to figure out where life is going to go.
