Hi I'm feeling very out of touch with other people so I figured I'd just post about it. The thing is i'm 27, I'd love to find a man who I love someday, who loves me back equally. Pretty basic. However, I hate dating and had two longterm relationships that have kind of turned me off of dating altogether. My last one ended a year ago but I haven't seen anyone since then. I'm just no longer attracted to people in that way. I like to try and stay optimistic but honestly I'm very jaded about love, and at this age the most I think I'll find is someone who just wants to settle down because all his friends are doing it and not because he loves me. I don't want to be just ' good enough' for someone, I want the real deal. But i see how other people treat eachother in relationships and it turns me off of the whole thing. In my early twenties I had a marriage that failed in an awful way and I waited two years to date after that, really loved my last boyfriend but I was playing second fiddle to his first love ( which i have come to find out is a pretty common thing for guys). Anyways, I'm losing hope. That's really it i guess. I'd rather be alone than fill a void with someone who I don't love.

I think, you should have more activities in your life and be more social so you can meet new people. 27 is not old

Range of guys from about 23 to 35 is open to you.

Just be open to new experiences and work on your self.

Losing hope is out of the question!

Live your life and let it be.

I waited until I was 27 before I met a guy who was truly crazy about me, and who I actually felt the same way about.

 

In my 10 plus years of dating, I either felt crazy for the men who didn't like me as much as I liked them OR, I had guys crazy about ME whom I didn't have romantic feelings for.

 

Keep waiting. Don't discount it. Some people just meet the right person later on in life.

 

If you are one of those people who truly crave a life partner in order to feel at your happiest, then you may need to settle, so to speak, with a guy who you do not feel giant chemistry or sparks for and who doesn't excited you BUT who is a nice and stable partner. Loyal, good character etc....

 

However, if you are like me and enjoy life enough without a man in it, you will wait and live happily single until the right guy comes along, who gets you all excited. AND who feels the same way about you....

 

Good luck:)
