Should I give up?

As it says really.

I'm 28, been single three years. In that time I have dated a lot, met two men I really liked. One moved away and the other was hot and cold so I had to finish it. Since January I've been sleeping with a guy that's ok but I know it won't ever work out, I don't like him enough but the sex is good.

Every guy my age that is half decent is in a relationship or married. I'm in an office full of 22-26 year olds and they all look youthful and fresh. I feel old, tired looking and cynical and have no idea why anyone would be attracted to me. So I've stopped bothering.

In the past I've found it so easy to get a date but I feel too old now.

I have a good job, own home etc. I'm fine by myself. I have a very good body and my face isn't hideous. But every now and then I remember that it feels like to be in a relationship and not have to do everything alone, or how exciting it is when you get together with someone.

When I see other couples I've just resigned myself to thinking it's something I can't have, which works a lot of the time. But I can't help wonder if this is it for me?

You're 28. No, this is not it for you.

Keep the faith, I've just posted something similar feeling fed up like I'll just not meet someone, but I keep thinking the right person will turn up eventually! Try not to be too hard on yourself
