I ve been single for just over 2 years now and I'm getting kinda tired of it. I ve met someone recently but still haven't heard from him and I'm not sure if I should contact him? If this guy doesn't call, I'm considering taking myself out of the dating game.all I want is to find someone to enjoy life with... Why is it so difficult to find?

Most of us ask that question often with no answer.

Hang in there. I feel some of the same frustrations. But taking yourself off the market sure doesn't fix it. I suspect you do need to find some supplemental activities though to keep your mind busy. Volunteerings is a great one. A regular fun activity with friends, etc.

Lonely sucks, but things get better

If we had the answer to your last question none of us would be here. Hang in. There are no guarantees about love even if you do find someone, but don't give up. As someone else already said find other activities to keep your mind occupied.

Honestly, give it time. You DO NOT need a relationship to function. You simply want it. It'll come eventually for you in time. No need to rush, have fun with being single.

You need some 'grown-up' fun. Kids are their own reward, but you need time for you, doing the things you enjoy, spending time with your friends. Get a sitter and plan a nite out with your girl friends.

Hang in there. It takes time to find the right man. I've been single for four years now and that is by choice. I am very picky!


Good Luck!

This is hard to admit but I don't have any girl friends. I don't work and don't have much of a social life. Sad I know....

Did you try Pat's .. Mutual Matches what what think think ..

There is a good chance Pat's Mutual Matches can help you find some one tonight, odds are you never know what your gonna get.

Hmm but as everybody else has said here.. it takes time to find some one. Maybe when you don't look it will happen, one just never knows.

Never give up on something your really wanting out of life.

Besides the fact I've been single my whole life, not much by choice.. just haven't gotten out a whole lot and or found any one.

Volunteering is a great way to meet people. Or getting involved in public activities... festivals, parades, etc. You can meet people at the gym, chamber of commerce, church. Just don't wither away in your house.

Learn to enjoy your own company. Take this time to learn a new hobby. You have kids, so I'd recommend scrapbooking. It's a great way to preserve all those memories to pass down to your kids someday. I made my son a scrapbook of his first 18 yrs and gave it to him on his graduation day. He loved it. Later he showed it to his future wife, and she loved seeing him thru the years. One day, he'll pass it down to his son.

Gardening is also a great hobby that you can do at home with the kids all by yourself. And it's very rewarding. You can even grow your own food. And meet other gardeners in the area. Many will be older than you and may have single sons to introduce you to.

Volunteer with your local Habitat for Humanity. Some of the best men do. Volunteer with an animal shelter. Join a club in a field you're interested. Take a college course or just hang out at the library. Go to a local seminar or workshop on something you're interested.

If all else fails, just stand in the meat dept at Walmart. Single men end up there frequently. rofl

More to life than having someone to share it with. Find a hobby, that is a surefire way to meet people that are interested in the same thing you are.

I can understand your frustrations, too, Daylia. Being single has a lot of good points but we all long for that connection with someone that makes our hearts go pitter patter and our eyes light up when they walk in the room - and to know that they could "pick" anyone they wanted and they choose to only have eyes for us.

Sigh. Yes, the loneliness does suck!

Make a list of some things that you would like to do or like to see that you wouldn't be able to do if you have a significant person in your life. Turn on the music and dance around the house. I don't care if you think you can't dance, I can't either. But, it is a great stress reliever and almost always lifts my spirits.

My friends and I have ladies day/night once a month. It is wonderful to get out and about connect and with others. They are great cheerleaders and have fun laughing with me at all the new realizations I have been making recently that they knew all along.

My daughters are older and my oldest is making it her mission to show me the night life. That is an experience in itself!

I wish you the best and know that when you least expect it - that shining light will come and whisk you off your feet and you will be glad you waited and didn't rush into a relationship that would have left you more heartbroken. flowerforyou

Hello, not sure if you talk to any of the gentlemen on these sites or not. I would suggest if you do and would like to get out, take a chance and go!! Just go and see. It could lead to romance or a great friendship, if nothing else, you've gotten out of the house for a bit and enjoyed some adult company. Life's short, live it today!
