I don't wanna be single...
24 Answers
I really want a boyfriend, I am starting to get really lonely now. I'm only 26 but just can't seem to find a guy. I know there are some decent ones out there (somewhere!). Most of my friends are settled now and with babies, and I'm still single and living with my parents and it's really getting me down. When a bloke ever does pay me attention, (which isn't very often) I push them away cos I have it in my head that they are only after 1 thing!!!!! Arrrgh help me!

Maybe you are coming across as too desperate? You shouldn't feel pressurised into finding a boyfriend just because all your friends are settled and have babies. Hey, I'm 40 and single and whilst it would ne nice to find a gorgeous bloke who loves me, I'm not going out of my way to look for one...it will happen when it happens.
As for the blokes that pay you attention...what kind of blokes are they? ARE they the kind that would be only after one thing or are they genuine nice guys? Maybe you are looking in the wrong places?

Statistically, 1 in 3 marriages end in divorce. Not sure about unmarried couples staying together for longer, but I DO know that babies are life-long commitments. Don't feel pressured into wanting this before your time. At 26 you have years ahead of you, with the freedom to go on holidays when you want, with whom you want - and the same goes for other social outings. If you enjoy a particular sport or hobby, try and get involved in meeting up with other like-minded folk. You're more likely to meet someone when you stop looking, and perhaps someone who's not just interested in the pub and club scene.
I went through this stage when I left my husband 2 nad half years ago.
I was in a very abusive and unhappy marridge.
What happened was the last few boyfriends I have had have just used me because I have let them.
I didn't want to be single so I just allowed it to carry on.
Now I am single again, I am changing the goal post of what I want.
I am learning to enjoy my own company more and when my little boy is at his granny's I can do what ever I like really which I never had before.
I am not 'looking' anymore as such but have not closed myself off either.
Just don't make the danger of meeting someone and planning your life around them.
You will know when you meet the right man and I bet your friends who are with someone are pretty envious of you sometimes !!!

yeah but we know how you play with your girl friends Jayne ;)
anyhow, sorry for the lighthearted answers Blondie,
being serious for a sec, stop looking, don't go out thinking "I am trying to find a partner" because it won't happen. Just go outwith your friends, have a good time and enjoy yourself and something will come along when you least expect it.

if you learn to be happy being single and just have fun, once you stop looking for guy i can guarantee one will come along. Prob when you least expect it.
You need to except that you maybe single now but you won't be forever. I feel the same and if I could pick the perfect guy out of a catalogue i would be happy, but I can't so now I'm just happy spending time with my friends and not looking for a guy.
It will all work out in the end, it always does. xx
