Coping With the Single Life
The single life has been getting to me much more than I'll admit -- once again I've been ghosted by what seemed like a promising partner.

Things were going great, we were seeing each other over the last month and then he suddenly seemed to lose interest -- and I really don't know why. I messaged him a few times to ask what was up, but didn't hear back from him. So here I am, heartbroken in a way?

I'm sick of the "work on yourself" banter, as if I'm not good enough the way I am for anyone. I've been through some shit in my life, and that will always be with me in one shape or another. So I'll never be 100% for anyone.

I'm also told that I'm "such a great catch" -- I can say with confidence I'm intelligent, attractive, and have a good personality. But for some reason, here I am, single. Even when guys do show interest in me it doesn't seem to last long. I'll have a guy keen on me, and when I show interest back they seem back off from me. I've also been told that guys are intimidated, when a woman has a steady career, or has her life together. (Which I guess I have?)

So here I am. I want a partner so badly, and I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet for me. I'm not sitting at home stewing about it either. I'm putting myself out there in the world. So I can lead a single life -- it would just be nice to have someone to share it with now.
