Mary_mountain_lover	I'm 27 too. Livin alone. Yes I worry too...life is HUGE and complicayed and...we don't know what will happen. Sit tight;) It gets better...then worse..then better...so on. Enjoy the ride!!!!! Instead of letting the ride tire us, we should marvel at it...and just appreciate what we have. After a loooong period of draught (dating-wise), 4 months ago I have met a guy I thought was "wow, the one." Well, it was pink and peachy for 1 month..then I broke up with him..I felt uneasy, like he was too hot-tempered:( I still love him dearly...and think abt him. Have no clue what to do...am I letting "the one" go? It sucks...I wish I could just run away from everything...Afterwards I've dated other guys but no sparks... So it's been down, then UP, now down again....I have to believe it will be up again, right? Just like the economy and housing market. We don't know when but we do know that they WILL improve again. Cheer up beautiful! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zeepaddy	Dear, you are too young to make a judgement like that. This is the charm of life. You get hopeless and are about to give up and a chirping sparrow on your window on a fine morning cheers you up. It is not your fault. You are certainly bright, only the girls you met were cheap. You can safely wait more ten years for the right person. Though you dont have to. Go to the gym every evening after work. See your mom and dad (if possible) at weekends. It will help. I know. I went through this. I still am but i never give up. There is always a new morning if you live. So live !! Have pity for the loosers. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

doktrgroove	When I turned 27, my wife moved out with my 2 kids and I was getting divorced. I know just how you feel if not to a greater degree because I didn't just loose my best friend and lover, I lost my whole family. Yes, it gets better. Just focus on being the best person you can be, get out and socialize and the rest will take care of itself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

infoman6617	first how about getting a room mate... and then how about a complete change of the things you do...... and to meet the right people you have to go to the right places so maybe try looking in another place.... and try looking for one that is not like anything you have before you got to change Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

expert of some stuff(read what)	harsh, but i think life does get better,more chances in careers, and slighly older women are not likely to back out of stable relationships, its when they are 20 something they only want flings and nothing serious, this can be harsh on someone looking for the opposite thing, good luck for the future, and on xmas eve ow, but i dont pick up on "the dirty on me" so sorry i cant help there. good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lori	Life only gets better if you make it, and you definitely can make it better. I was in a similar boat...approaching 30, failed relationships, lonely....and I realized that every choice I've made is mine, meaning that you have control over your life, and even if the gf turned out to be bad, it was you who chose her over the other girls who may have been nice. It's time now to look at the patterns in your life, esp. with relationships...do you often pick the same types of women? why? what is attractive to you about the dishonest types? what is it about you that makes you go for these types - are you afraid of finding the right one, and therefore committing? are you more attracted to danger than security? At 27 there are a million women out there who are saying, 'where are all the good guys?' Once you take control of your life and your decisions you will see that you have the power to do better. This will build your confidence and also, you will have a better idea of what you want. Remember, sometimes we figure out what we want after experiencing what we know we DON'T want. Use your previous disappointments to discover success going forward. good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cheryl B	I was where you are. Some days are good, some are not, no matter if you have a relationship or not. My confidence has always been pretty low, and found it difficult to meet people. I finally got married at 42. It is challenging being single, and even more so being married. I have learned to be grateful for the time I had alone, on my own, and now grateful that I have a spouse. Somedays I wish I was still single, but I am where I am and I will try to make the best of it! Try to reach out to something so you are not so lonely...friends, family, groups, clubs, church, etc. And the plus side of that is that you get to get out and meet new people...one of the best ways to find the love of your life. And even then it won't be perfect...but it will be a wonderful growing learning experience. Best to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

big city	if you don't like your life, fix it. what would you change if you could? make a realistic list- maybe 3 things. then work on them. if you're ugly, try dressing better. if you're boring, get a hobby. if you concentrate on making yourself a better, more interesting person, you will become a better more interesting person which will bring confidence. don't think someone else will bring you happiness. it's up to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Blue	Everyone feels like this, even people w/ a sig. other. i kind of like the independence of being alone, no one to tell you what to do, when to be home, to whine about your hygene or your choice in posters on the walls, just find some stuff you like to do, and go out and do it. Youll meet people w/ similar interests, and then make some friends. Give up on relationships until you feel okay on your own. Youre just dooming yourself. They will happen when they happen. Hopefully you arent meeting "girlfriends" at bars. That 99% never works out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Beach Girl	That was ME last year. I even went to church last Christmas Eve by myself and sat there like a little old lady...and thought...I'll always be alone and I wondered what in the world I did to deserve that kind of loneliness. Then, I learned the word "surrender" and did just that....sent up my prayer for love and happiness and surrendered it completely. I no longer had control over it at all. It either would or would not happen. I was ready for either way...knowing that I had done everything I could. In January, he kissed me for the first time, in April...he asked me to marry him, in September we had a beautiful beach wedding, and this past Christmas Eve, I told him (and everyone) that I believed in answered prayers. Cool huh? Yes, it does get better. Just 'surrender' and keep smiling. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cheech	It gets better down the road. think about it you still have a job and a place to live and all your limbs. you at least should be thankful for all that. relationships come and go. it is up to you to change the path that you are on. and if all that fails get a dog. man's best friend and you will never be alone. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SilverstreaK_1066	Hi most people have been in the same position as you at some point in their lives - its not a nice feeling but it does happen. please remember that not every lady in this world - would treat you this way - and that one day you will find someone who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. life will get better, but you need to do some more things that you enjoy to lift your spirits - eg exercise is fab (i like to cycle - and i weigh 17 stone, so im no fitness guru) exercise helps releve stress and pumps around the feel good hormones. if you lonly at night, why not do an evening course in something you enjoy - you never know who you may meet. all the best Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

pixiechick	Life very much has it ups and downs and god don't I know about it I have been through so many. Whenever it all feels too much and I'm feeling sick because my hangover has got the better of me I like to think of the quote "life is a stage and we are merely players". I am the writer of that play and I can make it go in any direction, it often goes the way in a bridget jones style. Dont give up hope, there is always someone, somewhere waiting for us to do something. x Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pure evul	You know, there is a Greek proverb I always keep in mind. It's sort of like "All the good things always show up late". I believe the best thing you can do is to have faith in yourself and not lose your self-confidence. I know what I am saying now may sound really stereotypical, but I think it's the only 'solution'. Since you cannot find a couple, why not just see some old friends, or maybe make new ones? Social interaction will definitely make you feel better, and who knows, maybe you will even get to meet the perfect person for you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Miss Chris	First of all, no one will love you til you love yourself first. Now is the perfect time to focus on you & improving your self esteem. Once you get that in order, everything else will fall into place. Stop stressing about being lonely, instead, be thankful you have some peace & quiet. But stop looking for another relationship too. It'll all come around in due time. Work on you first!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Vulcan_guy	Ya gotta be comfortable being yourself and pursuing your own interests. When you're doing what you enjoy it's easy to meet others of similar interest. If you're not confident on your own, that's woman-repellant. Everybody has horror stories of heartache, so don't worry about that. Just chalk it up to experience, dust yourself off and get back on the road. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mikey IV	You are born, you grow up and then you die. What else is there? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nick s	Get a life plan. Decide you are going to achieve something and go after it. Put relationships second to that plan - the best relationships are borne of not trying to get them. But achievements need effort. You are a guy - it doesn't matter if you don't settle down with a woman til your 40s or 50s. Keep yourself fit, and go after something that can take all your passion, and stop worrying about whether you have a partner - that will just consume you. You are lucky to live in an age where men and women are not expected to be married with 3 kids by the time they are 30. The pressure's off mate, and you should use your passion for achieving something special. The rest will fall into place. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

linav88	Well anything can happen. It may get better, or it may not. You should try to find other things, cultivate friendships with men, work out, whatever. Anything to keep you busy. Remember you could be trapped in a hellish marriage or something equally bad. Sometimes alone is better than bad company. But you never know, so you shouldn't give up. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shiprepairwoman	Things will get better. Life changes and you can change it yourself. Get a roommate or a dog, join a group of some kind. If you can get a big dog you can go for long walks, play fetch have someone waiting at home for you that is really happy to see you. A little pocket sized dog you can carry and women will want to pet him and you can dress him up and put bows in his hair. Someday you will meet the right person and maybe start a family. At 37 you may find yourself with a wife and 2 kids living in a house with two dogs and a lawn mower. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cdabexx	It gets better--Ive been there, but its all good now--have patience. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

H.G	Life is as good as you make it. You sound like you are at the end of the rope. I’m 26 and to me I’m only at the beginning of it. Since you are single, take the time to travel, meet different places, go to school, and do different things. Don’t wait until you are 50 to look back and wished you had done more. On your quest for fun, you might even find someone that is doing the same thing as you are and you both can get together for life. Make life worthwhile, you only have one… Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Subhuti Tari	I have been there and done that my friend. Will it get better as time goes by honestly I have no clue ! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

elvee13	when I was 27, my life sucked. Unemployed and every relationship I had ever had failed. Now life rocks, everybody that fu cked me up, let me down, stole from me, kicked me out and just was plain mean to me, I am in a position now to tell the to f off, " you should have been nice to me." It gets better, way better. hang in there and succeed if for no other reason then make it for revenge Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

chrissietheflirt	Andy, it does get better. Sometimes it takes awhile to get there though. Don't let the crappy people sour your attitude. The right one will come along one day. You'll appreciate her all the more. Be sure to let her know everyday how special she is to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LG	Life is tough for all of us. Try to find things to do that interest you. As far as relationships...try to meet someone who is totally different from what you've dated in the past. Sometimes change is for the best. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Toxic Optimism	Get involved with groups doing volunteer work for good causes. Meet people. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wesnaw1	Of course things get better, you have to start living your life and don't let it revolve around other relationships, the most important thing though is learning to live and like yourself, yourself is the most important thing because you're stuck with it constantly(if that makes sense) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
