    Not alone! I think it is a little different for those like me, I was married from the ages of 19-28. I have children also so I don't have time to worry about feeling lonely. Right now it's ok also because I am focused on me and losing weight. I can't imagine tossing a relationship in the mix lol.

    Your time will come, and you will make a smarter decision than I did because you have had time to think about what is important to you!!

    You are not alone. Not at all. There are obviously a lot of people in the same place you are and there are a lot of us who have been in your shoes in the past. I can vividly remember feeling what you are feeling right now. All I can say to everyone is, don't give up. Be open, be honest and be true to yourself and you will find someone or something that gives you fulfillment.

    ...single again here... I will be at a place where I enjoy it, but not there yet:) I do think it is better to be single than a couple that is unhappy. Take the time to love yourself! There is plenty of time to love someone else...never enuff time for urself.

    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'm with you! I'm 27, single and totally fine waiting to meet the right person rather than settling because I feel pressure. My parents didn't get married until they were 35 and 29 and they've been married for 30 years this August. I aspire to have a relationship like theirs (they are best friends, rarely argue and NEVER fight) and am willing to wait for it. I have realized, recently, that when I lower my standards for the sole purpose of being with someone rather than being alone, I tend to nit-pick the small things because I know they aren't right for me in the big picture. I'd rather be single and happy than be unhappy with *someone*. Single doesn't have to be a stigma, it means you have options! :flowerforyou:

    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.

    </sob story>

    I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She's always with you in your memories. Good luck figuring things out. I hope you can see it as an opportunity rather than a setback.

    I am as well, and am the only single girl out of my group of friends. I struggle with loneliness and the frustration of it all too. I'm divorced, with a six year old and am very gun shy about dating and getting hurt. I never get invited to couples dinners, or camping trips since I'm always the fifth wheel. Hang in there, it will get better

    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!

    Thanks I hope you are right about the svelte figure!!! Everything crossed!

    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!

    thanks I do agree that right now I am all about working on being me! I'm not sure I will ever find someone who can put up with me (!) but will see.

    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:

    Thank you. I do agree completely I just have those low moments!

    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*

    Thanks!

    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)

    Very wise words :)

    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 love that - I wish I could change my facebook status from single to "drama free"! I might just add it in my about me section!!

    I seem to attract men with issues big style - I'm not taking any more crap I have decided that's it!!

    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. :)

    Love that - Ms Right in Me. Very cool words :)

    Just wait until you're in your 40s. A load of us are suddenly single again :tongue:

    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 agree I think the opionion of friends is important. It can be really helpful when you are being blindsided by your feelings!

    You're delinitely not alone. My son is 24 and still single. He's pretty picky about what type of girl he's looking for. He hasn't found her yet, but I trust that God knows what's best for him and if it's God's will, someday He will lead my son to the right girl. In the mean time, my son is quite happy being single. :smile:
