Everything is great except I’m on my own

Life is great but I have nobody to share it with.

I’ve loads of friends and a nice family. I’m not lonely. But I do feel alone turning up to parties, weddings etc without someone in my life. Just finished doing my house up and I love it but it would be so much better with someone else who loved it just as much as me.

Anyone else feel like this? I feel down about it tonight.

Also yeah you’re not the only one, online dating is just crap. I’m the same age as you and have left dating alone to just work on myself and what I want. I don’t want kids though so I suppose I have that pressure off.

It has been mentioned that it is men in the thirties who are most likely to attach themselves to a woman who is providing for themselves.
I had not realised before this was mentioned, then I gave it some thought. The man who was sponging from me was in his 30s and the men who are leeching from friends are both in their 30s. Strange but apparently true.
To give OP some hope, I am now with someone completely different who is encouraging despite my worries about all sorts of things and would never allow me to pay for anything. He even puts petrol in my car every week despite me saying I am fine to get the petrol. He buys me things thoughtfully and I just hope this is it but he is a long way from his 30s. An absolute star.
