Umm gee, have anger issues? Some of us singles have been this way for a while so yeah, it's tiring. Especially when other threads have comments like how great it is having someone. Or those bragging about how great their sex life is. You say do something about it like telling someone, oh you're out of milk so go to the store. It's not that simple. When you put yourself out there, you feel vunerable. You socialize and hope a spark forms with someone. You hope to meet someone you want to get to know, someone who interests you. But if you're not much of a bar person, where do you go to meet people? I don't know. Picking someone up at the mall seems teenagish. The gym? My gym has seperate days for men and women so that won't work. Grocery store? Movie theater? Please tell me were and how because I don't know and you seem to think it's so simple that no one should be single. So share the wisdom and tell us what to do, where to go and how to do it.
I am so tired of hearing comments about single people wishing to change their situation with comments like quit whining, just go out and do it and such. Why is it that you can brag if your sexlife is good or your relationship is doing great but you can't complain about being single?? Why is one ok but not the other? I go to CC, go other places. I try to join in conversations, be part of a group of people. You can't force your way into a group, you can't force yourself into a conversation. All you can do is try to participate and hope you are included. Some single people feel jaded because others make them feel inadequate because they can't find someone. They are treated like something must be wrong with you, finding someone is soooo easy . It's not easy when you want to find someone who you may spend the rest of your life with. A singles thread is a good idea. It allows single people to see who else is. Gives you an idea on who you may want to get to know and see what develops if anything. It also lets you find comfort in knowing people you talk to are going thru something similar. Sorry you don't seem to like that. So instead of putting someone down with snide comments, why not try boosting their self esteem. That's a good way to find someone, by feeling positive about yourself you can attract someone. It's just that it's not always easy feeling that way and sometimes someone may need a little positive boost. Dismissive comments don't help.
OK, I'll get off the soapbox now.
