When I was about your age, I realised that I would be alone. Until I was about 30, I could almost not get a date, let alone anything more. The females wanted ‘exciting’ sociopathic bad boys, not me. After age 30 women who would have told me to FOAD when they were 20 were making their interest plain. I was too bitter, resentful and damaged to be interested. I had also worked in the media long enough to see how men were destroyed by women, via a grotesquely unfair Family Court system. The divorce rate among male journalists was and remains close enough to 100 per cent, so I had been able to observe colleague after colleague being destroyed by vindictive and not infrequently insane women. I observed similar behaviour by military wives, during my time with the Australian Army. An army wife who was not being serviced by a string of other men was unusual. It would have been interesting if DNA testing of children had existed at the time. Divorced or never married former carousel riders and career women continue to do the mating dance in front of me. It is rare for me to be interested. Few women maintain any degree of physical appeal when they reach my age range and menopause kills their interest in sex. Young women who doubt that should look up vaginal atrophy. I will die alone, surrounded by rescue cats, who will eat my corpse.
I have my doubts that such a thing as romantic love exists. All I see is people using each other for one reason or another. Relationships are just a mutually beneficial arrangement between two people who want something from the other, rather than two people trying to take care of each other. I'd guess about 1 in 10 people (or less) really takes good care of their partner, and they always get taken advantage of.
I'm in a relationship now, but I'm starting to miss being single. I put in a lot of effort and sacrifice, and it never gets returned
I get where you're coming from honestly cuz I've seen all of that too but I've also seen the other side
I've seen happy couples for example my grandpa and grandma
They're doing things together all the time and they've been married for several years now I don't know how many years but enough years because I'm 20 and they've been married longer than I've been alive and there's still a happy couple doing things together all the time and it's wholesome
im 17 but that doesn't mean i will find love just cus im still young. but i truly can feel im the same way. the only time i have been lucky was not even supposed be real love but i was in middle school which is so silly. the guy came to me and said he liked me and i didn't have to do anything and he wanted to date me so bad. now the other ones were all online so that wasn't even supposed to be real either! im a junior in high school and not once have i gotten a relationship at all yet. im really believing im never finding love cause high school is easy (not easy for me ofc) , after high school it's hard to find love afterwards.
Amen to that. I have been in a relation for 8yrs dreamt every sec of my life with her and she broke up with misunderstandings and issues with me. I don't blame her I was not very hard on her to be with. Now almost 2yrs passed and she's married but still I talk her in my head. I try to forget and see someone but the more I try the more it hurts me. So I dnt want to hurt someone else for my issues. Hard to say I really want to be with someone but am not sure I will find one or I will be happy with them
You're 21 and I didn't find real love till this year at 32. You haven't lived long enough to draw that conclusion. Work on yourself mentally and physically and learn what the kind of man you want likes
Even if you don't find love it's ok Love is overrated and fake It's actually a mix of couple or chemicals the chemical reaction stops and the feelings goes away it's that simple
You're young and a woman, chances are you'll find something in the years to come. I do understand how you feel though, and being far further in age and a guy, it's much more of a realistic prospect.
It's possible you could find love it's a matter of how much effort you put in it where you put that effort into

Love is fickle and fake, especially between a man and a woman. The sooner u accept it, the happier u will be.

Yeah but I’ve learned to be okay with it. I know that I’ll never meet some incredible woman and we’ll both fall madly in love with one another. If it were going to happen it would have happened by now. I’m in my 40’s. So much for a family.
