I'm unhappy and I feel lonely, what to do?

[Movingforward123]

Well I broke up with dds dad nearly 3 years ago, since then I've tried dating nothing has worked out, I was seeing a guy for about two years on and off, he wasn't someone I wanted to be with and I couldn't see a future with him! He keeps coming back to get in contact with me but I've stood firm this time and said no!

I'm the type of person that just has a few friends as I don't trust easily, but I can see I need more positive people in my life and I'm trying to be more open and have decided to make an effort to make more friends.

My dd is wonderful and I really enjoy spending time with her.

But I just feel alone, I really would like to have someone to cuddle with and actually enjoy spending time with, and not a guy to have around just for the sake of it.

I don't think I'm really enjoying my life at the moment, I don't think I'm depressed or anything. But just lonely and fed up.

Does anyone else feel like this? Or any tips?

Hi moving, sorry you're feeling so alone. I'm fairly recently separated and have tried dating too, to no avail, and it can be a pretty lonely place to be at times.

I'm sure lots of wise replies will come your way soon, but in the meantime I think you need to concentrate on adding things into your life that help you to feel good about yourself (or maybe get rid of some things that don't make you feel good about yourself).

It's great that you have you DD to focus on, but do you have time for yourself when you can go off and do something you like doing?

I've recently signed up for a couple of local Meet Ups, as most of my circle of friends is married etc. Might be worth a look?

Thank you for your reply!

I don't often have a lot of time to myself, and when I do I feel like I dont really know what to do with myself, which sounds odd bug I guess it's because I don't not ally have much time!

I think your right though, I do need to find things that I enjoy doing, but right now I'm just not sure what.
