Hello, I need some words of wisdom or advice. I’m completely sad and alone, and I don’t know what to hold on to. When I say alone, I really mean it. I guess I’m okay with the fact I only have one friend I hang out with. Because, then I hang out with her friends. My real problem is that I don’t have anyone that loves me; I want a boyfriend so bad. I think I deserve one by now! I’m 24 and I’ve only been on 4 or 5 stand-alone dates and I’ve dated one guy for a shocking whole month. I don’t have commitment issues, it’s just none of these guys were any good for me. The few guys I really liked stopped calling me and lost interest, and the others just didn’t match me. (One guy had a secret girlfriend and the other had a wife with children he didn’t bother mentioning)
Some people are content with being single, but I’m not. People keep saying, don’t worry, you’ll find someone. Well, I haven’t met anyone yet, and I have been looking. I’ve dated from Internet dating sites, which I hate doing. I really really hate those sites, but I don’t have any options, cause there’s no opportunities for me to meet anyone. I don’t like the bar scenes either, cause I don’t drink.
I’m crying a lot lately, this has been going on forever. The first date I ever had was in college, and I didn’t even go to my high school prom. It kills me; sometimes I just go to the bathroom at work and just cry. I pray a lot too, for some divine intervention or something. I’m also shy, which makes the odds of finding love even greater. I can’t live like this anymore. I would be so much happier if someone loved me. I’m depressed because I’ve been alone for so long, and because I’m depressed I might not be attracting anyone.
I’ve been reading books about soul mates and such to try and get the ball moving, but I’m reading conflicting things. I hear people say as soon as you stop looking you’ll find someone. But don’t you need to put effort into it? Does Love really work like that? I’ve also read that your suppose to tell yourself that your ready for love and spend 10 minutes a day thinking about your make-believe lover and eventually it will come true. So what should I do? Should I stop looking or keeping looking? Which would be the best option to find someone?
I’m so depressed; sometimes I just want to give up!
