I'm so tired of being single. I feel like I'm turning into stone.

I've just wrapped up another baby gift and yet another engagement has popped up on FB, while I can't remember the last time I touched someone, or someone touched me.

I'm so lonely and tired of being on my own. I really, really am.

I felt like this before I met my husband.. all my buddies were married, pregnant or engaged.. before me...

What do you think you can do to enjoy to your life anyway? You must remember you are a whole person just as you are.. and I’ve learnt that even in a loving marriage, you can be lonely..

It must be hard especially in lockdown but once things start to open up again, hopefully your chances of meeting someone will drastically increase. How old are you? Are you divorced/do you already have kids?

I know that lockdown isn't helping things at all. I'm trying so hard to hold onto the idea of a normal summer.

I'm nearly 29. Half of me knows I have some time but the other half is telling me to get my skates on.

What hobbies have you that might help you meet people? There’s lots of love out there, in friendships and helping others, and hopefully somehow being confident in this will help you meet your partner.. hill walking gets me out to some amazing places and I’ve seen fellow walkers meet partners there..

TBH the only luck I've had has been on the apps, any 'hobby' I've tried to pick up has been 87% single women! Thank you for trying though Flowers

I got married at 35 .. and had a baby at 37 and 38 .. you ve plenty time, and you don’t need a man to get a mortgage, buy your own house.. and it’s a fine thing to have a career and develop that... I’m reaping the rewards of my masters now... ... remembering I was a whole person, not a half one just because I wasn’t in coupledom, used to help me... and enjoy being free.. I honestly can’t fart now without being responsible for someone else’s clothes, food,transport, safety, online activities! And that’s just homelife! Not work..
