When will it be me?

To give a little bit of background i'm a 27 year old single girl, home owner, successful career, amazing family. I have been single now for nearly two years. During this time I have completely focussed on myself. I am an overthinker and I have always been self conscious. Since the end of last year I have been ready to settle down, have a relationship and start a family. Unfortunately this hasn't happened for me. My friends are all in loving relationships with or expecting children and I am currently feeling so lost. From being a very young girl I couldn't wait to be a mum and start my own family and when I am with my friends the conversation is always centred around children. I love my friends and their children and I am not in one bit bitter but I am so , so jealous of them and I feel so guilty saying that. I am scared this will never happen to me. I have tried internet dating and I just feel so alone and my confidence really is starting to take a knock. I am not by any means desperate to be in a relationship as I want it to be with the right person. But I am so worried I will never find anyone. At the moment I really feel invisible, including when I am spending time with my friends. Has anyone experienced how I am feeling and has a success story or any advice to share.

Sorry to hear this OP. It sounds as though you perhaps need to work on your self esteem before you 'put yourself out there'.

I was in the same position as you, I decided to take myself out of the dating world and work on myself through books, therapy, Yoga e.t.c. Through time my confidence grew and before I knew it, I seemed to attract men like I never had before. Then bang - I found him. Some men are put off by so much as a sniff of women being too keen. They seem to LOVE a confident woman that appears to be unavailable.

Dont forget you're also very young and so have time.

Best of luck.
