blobfather86 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hey guys i am a 25 year old male,I recently broke up with my girlfreind, things will never work between us and i know for my own happiness i need to move on but i am scared i will never meet someone new, every one at the mo seems to be in relationships, is it easy to meet someone at 25?
sabienne Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I'm a month off 25, just broke up with my boyfriend, and I have been wondering the same thing! I feel seriously old to be going out meeting people...I know, I know, I'm really not. I think I just have that feeling because I thought I was going to marry my ex. We'd been together 6.5 years. It's hard. But if you're 25 and single, and I'm 25 and single...we surely can't be the only single 25 year olds out there, right?
tb24 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I'm 25 (just) and recently found a new girlfriend. Don't despair The good thing about being 25 is you have a pretty wide age range available to you. Anyone from around 18-32 I'd say. As for being easy to meet people.. I find most people our age are taken, but there are singles out there.

LOL'ing at this. I'm 35 and don't even feel old so you shouldn't worry. I will note that 25 is a tough age if you're a very mature guy. Most of the mature females are married by that age, and a lot of the ones left are still trying to figure things out, or are still immersed in the party scene. 35 isn't a whole lot better b/c the younger ones start to view you as "that creepy old guy" even though I can still pass for 28-30. 35 is great if you're into cougars though. I get a lot of attention from women ages 40-50.
sanskrit Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Finding someone is a function of desire and your willingness to act on it, your social skills, and the quality of your available prospect pool, not of age.
nothappyjan Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 I'm a month off being 25 and was just dumped 3 months ago. I feel in a better place than when i was last single as at least i've been involved in a serious relationship this time. I think it's hard to be single at any age, but as you start to hit your mid 20s more people are settling down and I find that a lot of the available guys are emotionally unavailable or commitment phobes and a lot of the nice, normal guys are paired off. But in this thread alone there seems to be a fair few of us so we must not be the only ones. Where do you live j/k
smudge21 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Late twenties heading towards that big 3 0 is said to be tougher then any age. It's like you have this pressure that you should be married, in a good job, own a car, a house, have children.. blah blah blah. It's funny but once you pass 30 you realise it's all rubbish. Just live your life happy - do what's right for you. Being single at 25 is nothing to worry about. I'm in my mid thirties and my ex was in her early twenties. Prior to that, my previous girlfriend (who I'm now best friends with) was just turning 40. The point is, no matter what age, you'll always feel alone at times and have these concerns. It's natural. It shows you care and it also eventually leads you to carry on trying and bettering yourself. Enjoy being single for a bit - go out with friends and experience the world. Relationships tend to come along when you least expect it, so go party and see what happens. Before you know it you'll be 35 and looking back on this time wondering why the hell you were worrying about it all...

Before you know it you'll be 35 and looking back on this time wondering why the hell you were worrying about it all... I agree with you. I'm about to hit the big 3 0 and I did feel the presure before my fiance and I broke up and even a littel after. I've been thinking and all of my friends who married mid 20's are either divorced or heading down that road and are completly unhappy. They tell me they wish they were in my shoes. Single, living alone, having money in savings, no drama, fighting or relationship problems. They all seem stressed and fed up. It kind of supprised me because I am a relationship type person and want that. The grass is always greener on the other side right? I don't see myself as old and have plenty of friends that are single and have been working myself back into social circles. Just get out and live life and life with no regrests so when you have the opportunity to be in a relaitonship again, you'll be happy with your life and all the wonderful friends you have in it. I advise you work on getting some money saved, pay off your car if it's not and worry about your career/school... just work on yourself. Get into the gym.. These are all things I've been doing and it really helps. I can say the two things that make me feel good are having financial secuirty by putting money in savings and working out to get out pent up negative energy. the last month and a half working out I've taken off more pounds than I put on in a year (10) and my body is looking fantastic. I hope this motivated you!
Mimolicious Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 The minute I saw that "86" I knew it was going to be a 20 something year old... You're 25 and you are calling yourself "old"??? What are you going to do when you are 65?? Life has stages and every stage teaches us something. We should never stop evolving. Is your xGF the only woman alive? People have a marriage, family and their whole life set and it crumbles. Trust me, your situation is not the end of the world.You are not old and you are not dead. Get out there and live your life, you have tons of youth.
oldguy Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 It was much easier at 45, lol. It's all an uphill struggle until you reach the top, afterwards it's all down hill. jk. I'm sorry you going through a rough time, but you can't be 25 and old because I'm more than twice that & I'm not old despite my avatar name.
smudge21 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I know plenty of people who got married in their early twenties and now have divorced on the CV's... I never understood the desire to get hitched at such a young age. Even now, my ex has virtually given up on so many dreams and decided to settle down and get married at 21. Go experience life - there's so much of it out there waiting for you!

(28 - 32) though at the time I felt some pressure. Now I'm 43 and feeling the whole midlife thing, it's a way bigger deal. Parents and other family members go, people getting divorced, friends getting sick etc etc. You all enjoy where you are right now!
