I’ll help you get rid of this issue. The issue you are having is the same as me. You must realize that relationships aren’t all that fun. You only look at the positives which are sex and stuff like that. You gotta look at the negatives as well. Do you know how painful being in a relationship is when you and your partner are not on the same page? You get into constant fights and arguements which will only make you feel even more depressed than you already are. You should just wait for the girl to approach you. What I’ve noticed is if you approach them, they will use you and make you chase them so it’s basically an ego boost. Focus on your self and work hard in life. Never ever put others on a pedestal. Good luck 🙂

Hoot- "The_Coolest" where were you in 1972? SERIOUSLY,..., yah it is but if you look at it in ways like,..., "WHY" are you sad then you might not fall prey to the emotion. If you are just naturally "Sad in a crowd",..., then you would probably be sad in many other Social ways. Also if you have family that bugs you about NOT having a "significant other" in your life,..., THAT can really get the Lonelies going too. But being "SINGLE" may not be the real reason for your sadness,..., just another facet of your life it shows up in.

Yeah. I know some people will probably roll their eyes because of my age, but as a teen we’re dealing with these dumbass emotions for the first time. My two best friends are in relationships. They always talk to me about how happy they are and all the adorable things they do with their person. I’m happy for them, I really am. It just makes me sad that I’ve never had anything like that yet. Again, I know I’m only 16 but still. Although, I think I won’t be single for too long. My crush said he likes me so 😏🤷🏽‍♀️ He’s an awkward ass nibba so it’ll take him awhile to gain some confidence. But anyways, yeah, it’s normal to be sad about these kind of things

It’s normal to feel sad when you’re single. But you know what’s the best you can do when that happens? Question yourself what has led you to be single! Analyze every aspect of your life and where you find a flaw, stop and think of ways of improving. If you know yourself better and you speak with honestly and humbleness, others will perceive it and gals too and that my friend is very attractive. Just remember everything starts with you and your attitude to face life and yourself.

Babsie1984 · Answer

I think that is normal as it’s human nature to want to find someone to be with - to enjoy a affection, intimacy, shared memories, dinner etc. But there’s also a lot of pluses about being single and having your own space! Use the time to do some self development and you’ll meet someone when you least expect it.

If you’re really that keen to meet someone, it might be coming across to your dates and could seem like neediness or desperation. I’m not saying that is happening but it could.

Good luck!

Hello4242 · Answer

It’s normal, but you should realize that there’s a reason for why you’re single. It’s time to better your life to prepare for the right girl. She’s not going to come into your life when you’re not ready for or when you’re unhappy. It’s okay to be sad about being single, but it shouldn’t make you unhappy overall. Know that this is where you need to be and just work on yourself.

mirrornoon · Answer

I’ve never been in a relationship before but sometimes I used to upset me —from my experience, I just thought I never good enough but then now I realise that it’s not a bad thing to be single. I know now that I’m not ready for a relationship and I wasn’t even ready for a relationship back then. Besides, at the moment for me, it’s just too much hassle and effort right now🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Alice2398 · Answer

Yes I do a lot of the time, I've never had a boyfriend and sometimes feel incredibly lonely.

I hate when happy couples ask me "so have you found someone yet" and when I say" no but thanks for reminding no one ever going love me and I'm going to die alone" and then they say "oh Im sure he'll come along one day just be patient" with a sumg grin on their faces whilst gazing into each other's eyes, I'm secretly thinking to myself "fuck you Karen and Pete " 😊

lightbulb27 · Answer

I think sad feelings are normal at times. Especially hard for me after a breakup/loss. I don't bounce back so fast. It takes some effort/time to feel good. If you are "not having much success", then you are seeing the encounters you have as failures and that deflates your sense of self worth, alone, makes you feel like you dont' have anyone, etc.. Changing your mind and thinking is a way out of that. didn't say it is easy, but change is always work... but in it is growth!:)

princessfromjupiter · Answer

Sometimes I get lonely and upset too, and wonder if I’ll ever know what it’s like to be in love with someone who loves you too... but dating can be so frustrating that I’m not even sure it’s worth the trouble for something I don’t even know is real or not 😪

DivineMatriX · Answer

You just gotta stop thinking about it. Maybe your not ready yet. You have to be happy with yourself first before you'll be able to love someone else truly. Sure a relationship at first will bring up your mood but you'll soon find your still sad. Love yourself and everything will fall into place. Sure sounds cliche but its true. Good luck bud!

unlovedguy · Answer

Yes, I feel that way frequently but I don't have to be in a relationship to be happy. Relationships aren't everything. And sometimes people prefer being a single person. There's nothing wrong with it. People come and go. I am not considering myself as someone successful when it comes to relationships and dating - and I have never been with someone in real life before. I am currently following the mantra "Be the person that you want to date"

Anonymous · Answer

For many it is, for many it isn't. Depends on the individual.
I've been single for nearly 30 years, and it's never bothered me. In fact I intend to remain single my entire life. I'm perfectly happy.

If you wish to improve your chances of getting a date, really start working on yourself. Dress well, be confident and work out. The last one really works. The more athletic you look, the more attention you get...

Lman3000 · Answer

Welp join the club buddy, I suck at dating as well it don't make sad about nothing I move on with my damn life, don't let dating mess your life, be honest with yourself aside from sex and affection what else a woman can give ya that you can't do alone? it'll come eventually or never but the choose is up to you

Secret6620 · Answer

I think loneliness and sadness go hand in hand and it's completely normal. Just work on loving yourself and doing things you love and that should help ease that sadness. If you're busy with life you won't have time to be sad😇😇😇 Good luck

Fredde199 · Answer

Ask yourself why that is the case.. try and look objectively at what you could be doing wrong. Trust me.. most people have sometimes fealt like your feeling right now and then boom.. they meet the love of their life. If you are not hitting the gym i would recommend that you start.. it will increase your levels of feelgood chemicals.. up your confidence and so on.

Nivinxus · Answer

Well in my position, I'm not really sad about being single. After dating a few times, I do appreciate what being single has to offer. Admittedly it isn't as awesome as being in a relationship, but it isn't as bad as I thought it out to be before.

Anonymous · Answer

Me neither I had never had much sucess in dating either. Never had boyfriend or dates or relationships of any kind. I dont know the meaning of dating a man or being in a relationship with one. I never been loved either. And the only one guy I met inmy life who I really could say "Wow it matches me to get to know him better" appeared in my life just when I was in my mid 40´s and he just want sex.

winterfox10 · Answer

That's very normal! I'm sort of of the belief that no one really wants to be single, it's more like they just logic themselves out of wanting to be emotionally connected with someone.

human is a social creature, you'll find someone but you need to work on your social skills, feeling sad will not help you with that but make it worse... you need to start making real moves and start approaching girls

Only because you're putting too much emphasis on it. If you're not enough without someone i guarantee you you won't be enough with them.

Yes, it is, especially if you're a virgin. I sometimes do. But it's better than an unhappy relationship/marriage.

Rambler221 · Answer

I know some people do. Like me. It's an awfully lonely feeling sometimes. I believe it's an obsession formed by the modern society that you need to have a partner to make you complete.
