Question - (6 June 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 June 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I just want to know why am I always the single friend? Its sooooo annoying! All my friends have boyfriends and that's all they talk about. I mean I'm happy for them, but I don't want to hear that their going on a date or that he's spending a night or their going to the movies. I'm not mad or jealous but that's ALL they talk about. I feel like their bragging because they know how I am. I don't know why but its hard for me to meet guys, I'm pretty, nice, funny, nice shape, nice hair, big brown eyes, no kids, ect. My standards aren't high but I can't drop them any lower. To tell you the truth I've had 1 guy ( the only guy I had sex with) I love him but were over and I never met a guy after him that I liked or want. That makes me feel even more sad. I feel like he's the only guy for me in my city. But its like I'm always the single friend. The friend who never go on dates or talk on the phone or even met any good guys. I really don't know why? Am I meant to be the single friend who never have anybody and just be happy and be their for their friends? I'm just wondering? I have other friends but their a little drama filled lol. So am I meant to be the single friend? I'm very much annoyed. Im just sad over all :( I feel like I'm going to be 60 before I ever like another guy.

Thanks for your comment. And I don't know if they are or aren't but if I'm telling them I don't want to hear their stories and they keep telling me when I'm sad, that's going to make me think that they are.

Am I to young to hire a matchmaker?

And to me I never really had a real boyfriend.

And that 1 guy I getting over is the past now. So yea, even my mom keep asking why don't I have a boyfriend?

thegrassisgreen agony auntHi :).

You sound like you've currently only really 'got eyes' for this boy you were once with. If you wish to get over him, Google "How To Get Over A Boy" and browse through the pages.

For all you know, people could be attracted to you, but they may be too shy, or you just may not have noticed it altogether.

You shouldn't lower your standards any more, but don't set the bar too high; nobody can match up to our ideal. Don't lower your standards to the point that anybody interested is good enough; you're better than that.

Your friends may not be purposely intending on hurting you with their stories, they may just see it as simply telling their friend their plans etc., I would try to not take it too personally. I'm sure hurting you is the last thing they were hoping to do.

At this current time, it may seem that nobody is interested, but over time, somebody will come along. Somebody who admires your confidence, characteristics and personality. You just have to be patient.

In the meantime, try not to come on too strong towards any sorts of love interests. Always remember to be yourself, and never change for anybody.

Wait. Never lower your standards too low, and always be yourself, no matter who the person is, or whatever reason they may use.

I hope I helped, and good luck!x
