How do you celebrate Christmas alone single?

[Sugar100]

I have no boyfirend so my dream of arriving to my families house with a guy still won’t come true and I’m 26. I’m the youngest of the family and my entire family and brothers wife’s family are all married and have kids.

everyone is experiencing bliss of buying their babies toys and in love taking cute couple pic by the Christmas tree, happy. And I’m alone sad watching everyone with no romance no joys of having my own children either, nor happily eating talking with my partner on the special Christmas holiday.

my crush at job from June quit August but now he came back decmeber and he likes me back and we spent last wk together at job in bliss 4 days.

but now we haven’t been able to interact for one week as he works Night Shift and I work day shift so we have This distance now apart. I plan give him my number next wk so we don’t lose contact and progress.
still I’m sad in pain this holiday.

Awww I'm sorry you're feeling sad about being single for the holidays sis. That does really suck seeing all your coupled up fam having their cute Christmas togetherness. But hey, don't count yourself out just yet! Your crush coming back around could turn into something great.

And as for this holiday, why don't you try focusing on you? Do some things that make YOU happy - have a spa night, watch cheesy romance movies, treat yourself to something nice. You definitely deserve it! Maybe even do a Christmas solo photo shoot by the tree so you have cute pics too.

And when you're with your family, try to be present with them instead of dwelling on what you don't have yet. I'm sure they'd love your company regardless. You never know, you could meet someone new through them too!

Keep things light with your crush for now since you're just starting to talk again. But see if he wants to hang out after your shifts sometime - keep it low pressure and fun. You've got this sis, don't lose hope. Your perfect Christmas is still out there, even if it looks different this year. Keep shining!

Me and my crush were togeher talking during his break for 3 days but after that for last week and Christmas break we have unable been able to talk and be together as work got slow and we have different schedule so now we have this distance

[Sugar100]

But the week before that was blissful we were talking together sitting down talking happy for his 10 min break for like 3 days we bonded.

[Sugar100]

Why I have to keep things light?

[Sugar100]

Wdym by light?

[Oliverlogan263]

I feel you, it definitely sucks when work schedules get in the way of spending time with someone you like. But it's actually kinda good that things were going so well between you two when you did get to talk on his breaks.

That shows there's definitely a connection there. And the fact that you bonded so quickly in just a few short conversations is a really good sign! Guys don't usually open up that much to someone we just met.

I know it's hard being apart during the holidays, but try not to stress too much about it. He obviously likes you too if you guys were hitting it off so well at work. I'd say just play it cool for now since you can't see him in person. Maybe shoot him a casual text every few days just to stay on his mind over the break.

Then when you're both back after Christmas, make sure to ask him out on a proper date! I'm sure he'll say yes. Just try to stay positive - this could totally lead to an awesome relationship. Don't lose hope yet!

[Sugar100]

I don’t have his number yet. I cudnt give it to him before the Christmas break due to the schedule issue. So when we return back to work I plan give him my number. I don't know what will happen after that.

[Sugar100]

I’m sad crying 😞

[Oliverlogan263]

Awwww don’t cry, I can understand why you're feeling sad about this whole situation. Not being able to give him your number before the break definitely makes things more uncertain now. But please do not lose hope yet!

You really connected with this guy at work. Based on how well you were getting along in person, I doubt he's totally forgotten about you over the holidays just because you couldn't exchange numbers. When you guys see each other again after Christmas, I'm sure he'll still be happy to chat.

My advice would be to just play it cool when you go in to give him your number. Maybe make a joke about how the schedules kept getting in the way. I'm sure he'll be flattered that you wanted to stay in touch outside of work. Once you've exchanged numbers, text him later that day just to say hi!

That way the ball will be in his court to keep things going. And if he seems excited to chat more over text, then I'd say he's really into you too. Try not to stress too much in the meantime - I'm sure it's all going to work out. You got this! Stay positive! ❤️❤️

[Sugar100]

Well we return to work tomorw I just feel stressed and depressed today. Y my entire family deserve have babies and a partner and I don’t deserve that? I’ll be 30 almost and I’ll never have a first boyfriend? My life will never have romance and love and I’ll just work eat sleep forever til I die?

Y they deserve happiness and I don’t? y they all have a guy proud to be with her and meet family and I don’t? Y. No guy want spend Christmas with me take pics with me eat with me be next to me why no guy desire me?

[Sugar100]

I’ll have my first boyfriend til age 30? I’ll be 30 in 3 years. My life have huge void and my heart is empty

[Sugar100]

How do I make a joke that scheduled r in the way? Can u give me an example?

[Oliverlogan263]

I totally get why you're feeling so stressed and down right now. That shit about your family and how they all have partners while you're still single can really get to you, especially around the holidays.

But don't be so hard on yourself. Just because your love life hasn't taken off yet doesn't mean it never will. 30 is still super young - tons of people don't find their person until way later than that. And you never know, maybe this thing with your crush could turn into something if you play your cards right.

As for making a joke about the schedules, you could say something like "Ugh, tell me about it - these work schedules are really out to ruin my social life, huh?" Or "Sorry I couldn't get your number before, shifts have been crazy lately. Must be fate that we're talking now instead!" Say it with a little smile so he knows you're not too bummed.

Just try to relax and stay positive when you see him tomorrow. Easier said than done, I know, but stressing won't help your case. You got this - be confident and I'm sure things will work out! Let me know how it goes!

I have 26 years I don’t celebrate new years Halloween Easter Thanksgiving , past years I didn’t celebrate Christmas as I neevr had a first boyfriend. I wasted age 25 this year just work sleep work sleep. That will be my life 2024,2025,2026,2030 for rest of my life. I’m depresed crying becuz my life is wasting away.

Everyone in my family is planning bring husband / boyfriend for new years eveeyone happy smiling , dressing up their kids playing with their kids, waking up daily complete in life and I’m alone. New years work sleep. Alone for rest of my life empty.

[Sugar100]

The point of life is to live with a partner and spend all year together and meet family. You shop togsther you plan life together , plan every holiday together.

[Oliverlogan263]

I hear you, it really sucks feeling left out when everyone else is living their best lives with partners and kids. But you can't get stuck comparing yourself to others, ya know? Every person's journey is different.

It seems like you've put a lot of your self-worth into finding a relationship, which is understandable since that's what you see giving others joy. But you gotta find happiness from within too, not just rely on another person to complete you.

Focus on the things you DO have control over - your hobbies, health, career goals etc. And put yourself out there more to meet new people! Join hobby groups, try dating apps, ask friends to set you up. It only takes one right connection to change everything.

In the meantime, try doing your own thing for holidays this year. Travel somewhere solo if you can, or make plans with good friends. Your life is far from wasted at 26! You've got so much living left to do. Chin up - I know your person is out there.

[Sugar100]

I spent my entire life focusing on mylsef. Now I want focus on my partner only.

[Oliverlogan263]

I feel you, it's totally natural to want a partner to share your life with. But don't forget about caring for yourself too - becoming your best self is what'll attract the right person.

Maybe try broadening your search a bit. While it's great you've got your work crush, don't put all your hopes on that one thing working out. Keep putting yourself out there to meet new people though friends, hobbies etc. The more people you interact with, the better chance of making a connection.

It's awesome you seem so ready for a relationship, but try to be patient too. These things sometimes happen when you least expect it. In the meantime, is there a new hobby you've been wanting to try? Travel somewhere solo and challenge yourself? Keep improving yourself til the right person realizes how awesome you are!

I know you'll find someone who loves you for you. But don't lose sight of your own happiness along the way. You've got this - keep your head high friend!

[Sugar100]

I want my crush to be my boyfriend , I’m just stressed i feel I’ll neevr get a boyfriend. No matter what I do no guy will ever be my boyfriend

[Oliverlogan263]

I can tell you're really stressed about this whole situation. But don't count your crush out just yet! There's still a chance things could work out with him.

When you see him tomorrow, just be your cool, friendly self like before. Smile, laugh at his jokes, ask how his holidays were - easy stuff to continue getting comfortable with each other again. And definitely give him your number like you planned.

Who knows, once you can text more he might ask you out on an actual date. And if he doesn't right away, don't lose hope. You never know what could happen down the line either. Friendships have a way of turning into more sometimes.

But try not to put all your pressure and worries on just this one guy, you know? At the end of the day, you can't fully control how someone else feels. So while you pursue him, focus on staying chill and confident in yourself too. That kind of happy, grounded energy can be really attractive.

I know it seems tough now, but try to believe you WILL find an awesome boyfriend when the time is right. For now, just do your thing and have fun - don't stress too much about stuff that's outta your hands! You got this, just take it one day at a time.

[Sugar100]

I’m not the one pursuing my crush. He was pursing me that’s why I talked to him. My job is weird and the boys there want the girls make most of the moves. Issue is the reason I’m stressed as me and my crush haven’t been able to be together daily anymore as he works nite shift and I work day shfit and after Christmas work is slow and I need leave early as work is ending 1-2 hours ealry now due to no work and due to that I cannot see ceush at all anymore as he arrives at the night shfit after I leave home

[Sugar100]

Due to that , me and crush have not been able to continue being together daily talking. 2 wks ago we were together 3 days and it was guna continue me spending break together and talking now. Now issue is I need give him my number to not lose contact and I’m scared I no longer see him and now we will have new years vacation. 😞

[Oliverlogan263]

Ah man, that's totally rough about your schedules messing things up with your crush. I can see why you'd be stressed about not seeing him daily anymore. But try to stay positive - just because you can't talk in person right now doesn't mean it's over!

Giving him your number is a great idea. Even if you only trade a few texts at first, at least it keeps the connection open till you're back to normal hours. Maybe bring it up casually like "Hey hope you had a good Christmas, text me sometime if you wanna chat!"

Even if you don't talk much over break, I doubt he'll forget about you completely. And once things calm down at work post-holidays, who knows - maybe he'll ask you to hang out!

In the meantime, try not to dwell on it too much. Easier said than done, I know. But stressing won't change the schedule. Keep yourself busy with hobbies or friends if you can. And stay positive - I have a good feeling about this! You got this.

[Avcfhcic]

I try to focus on what I should be grateful for. I have a family still, so I try to think about them and spending time with them.
I too am single and always have been, I'd love a girlfriend, but I don't have one. No point ruining Christmas because of that fact.
We all have different time lines, just because others are settled, doesn't mean you have to be too!

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I don’t need someone to celebrate my life. I already experienced a wonderful love story in the past, It was a great lesson and a fulfilling experience. Which I am grateful for, when I die someday, I can say I have lived and loved.

Now though, it’s time to love the main character of my life - myself. And I don’t need to share my love with anyone to make my life happier. I am happy as it is.

[Anonymous]

Please don’t be sad about being single and childless. I’m sure some of those couples would love to be single and childless, lol. Show them you’re happy and comfortable with your life. Everything will fall into place when the time is right.

[Sugar100]

In 3 years I’ll be 30, I need wait til I’m 30-35 to have a first boyfriend?
