After the latest dating knock back, I am starting to think I am never going to have a happy relationship. I always seem to like the men who don't like me or are arses, and never 'the good guys' who like me.
I am 24, and whilst many will probably say that is still young, everyone I meet who is my age is in a serious relationship. It seems every day, another friend is getting engaged.
I am not desperate, I am ambitious and focused on my career and it is paying off, I have a 5 year old, I work out, I see friends and try not to focus too much on the relationship thing. But it still hasn't happened, I don't meet people. Every man I meet and like is taken or as I said, messes me around.
I work in a field that is almost entirely female dominated. I live in a very small city, borderline large town. Online dating isn't really for me, I wouldn't have the confidence for it. I'd rather meet someone face-to-face, as opposed to speaking online and then potentially being knocked back in a real life situation.
I don't really know what advice I am looking for, but I am starting to feel really down about this situation. I have been happily single in the past but am at the stage where I just want a fulfilling relationship, I want to meet someone who I fancy the arse off and doesn't mess me around. I don't know what to do!
