tag2412 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 As the title says... Normally, I'm ok with this and have almost come to accept it, but today it has just really got me down for some reason. I'm not sure why. I'm 24 and 1/2 and single. The fact is there just doesn't seem to be any guys out there who are interested in me. I moved to London in September and my dating life seems to have taken a big hit with it. It's like I've missed my chance and all the decent guys have been taken (which doesn't make me feel much better about still being avaliable) No guys at my work are single, none of my friends are single (male or female) I do all the things you're supposed to do when you're single-I hang out in parks, museums etc-trying to make the most of living in London-but always leave the way I came in, alone. I've had 2 dates in the past 2 weeks, both of which ended with the guy barely giving a 'see ya' as he rushed off to the station. I don't think I can do it again-getting all ready for that first date, exchanging life stories and for what? Nothing. I just don't think I can muster up the enthusiam for another one. I almost wouldn't mind if I actually thought things would change-I've been single before. But, today just feels like the beginning of the end. Like I'm ready to throw in the towel and admit defeat. Maybe there is just something fundamentally 'undateable' about me or maybe I really did just miss the boat so to speak. I just can't see myself spending years going through the same stupid routine. Well, that's my rant over :-) Not really sure why I posted here. It's not like it's a problem anyone can fix. But feels slightly better having written it down. Hopefully, at least if anyone else is feeling the same way they'll know they're not alone.
cbreitel Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 24 and single? Pff. I'm 37 now and have been very happily single for more than 3 years. Without even trying to date, the dating opportunities somehow just create themselves. I'm a believer that true love comes when you're least expecting it and not looking for it. You're in London... enjoy the city and enjoy your life! The rest will fall into place when the time is right.
