Am I undateable?

So, I’ve been single for 6 years. I’m a 25 year old female with a good job, my own home, good friends and interesting hobbies.

I recently moved out of my parents home and a Guy I’ve been talking to for around 6 months came over a few times and it lead to us doing the deed, he lead me to believe that we would see each other again, and that things would progress. However it’s been over a month now and I’ve heard nothing from him, I’ve sent him only two messages and since he’s chosen not to reply haven’t bothered sending him anything else. However this seems to be a recurrent situation for me, I’ve been single for 6 years. My friends are settling down and having babies and I’m worried I’m running out of time and that I’m going to be alone forever...

He's an arse. He got a shag, and moved on. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, lovely. So, how will you move on? Have you done any online dating? Any of your friends' partners got unattached mates to set you up on dates with?

Not your fault at all. Some blokes are just arses. Keep at it. You are still very young.

OP - just keep living your life and don’t worry.
Get on Tinder and other online dating platforms.

You are not even close to running out of time. I was 10years older than you when I was pregnant with my first kid. And second followed a few years later.
You are just 25.

Enjoy your life - have fun, travel, do all kinds of things that will become harder when you are older and tied down.

I, sincerely, hope I don't sound patronising but you are only 25!!! Plenty of time to meet someone, settle down and have babies.
Go out, have fun, travel, play the field (if that's your thing.)
In other words, don't worry about finding someone just yet.

You're only 25, don't be worrying about settling down kids yet.

Dont worry about your friends settling down. Lots of people who meet when younger grow apart and end up having to start again in late 20s-30s+ anyway. The more mature you are when you meet, hopefully the better judgment you will have...meaning don't take any shit and long term the single years will pay off. If that makes sense.

What do you do in your spare time? Do you meet many men into similar things as you? Don't be too keen to settle down, or you may waste time with people who aren't worth it anyway- but you might not just stumble across the right sort of person. You may need to put yourself out there a bit. The benefit of that is that you're likely to make friends, etc at the same time (new hobbies sort of thing)
