Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Years ago I liked this guy, but we were both young and there was distance so that didn't work out. I have been dealing with depression and self esteem issues for a couplea years now, so it has been really hard for me to think that anyone could like me. After liking this guy for a looooong time, I finally took a chance last fall and told him how I felt. He said he liked me, but then he acted scared, didn't want to move forward, etc. So now we are just friends. Obviously I'm a little hurt, but I'm also a bit angry at him. I'm not sure how to deal with it and move on. I haven't been talking to him when I feel like this cause I don't want to be mean. But what feel worse, is that now I feel like I'm going to be single forever. I still don't know how to love being single :/ Anyone else feeling like this?

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

I feel like this too at the moment,

There is this guy I like who has also said he likes me, but he flirts with a lot, and I am talking A LOT, of girls. I know in reality there is a very slim chance of us getting together but I have to soldier on. 

Like you, I have been dealing with quite a few self esteem issues lately and some days I feel really low. However I just remind myself that being single isn't going to last forever and we have our whole lives ahead of us to enjoy it, so at the moment lets enjoy being single whilst we can. I just think that with me being single, I can balance everything in my life perfectly, but maybe with a relationship not so much at the moment. Some days I have moments where I feel a bit down, but then I think of this stuff and carry on.

Just remember, there is someone out there for everyone, so don't worry :smileyhappy:

Hope this helped!

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Thank you soooo much :smileyhappy: Sometimes it's just nice to know that you're not alone. I loved what you said about being able to balance everything when you're single. Even though you said it was a slim chance that you would bet together with the guy you like, I hope everything works out. If not, I'm sure you'll find someone 10x more awesome :smileyhappy:

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Honestly, I feel the same way both of you do. I like being by myself sometimes. But right now, especially on a Friday night, it's sad. I feel so alone right. I have been single for so long and have only had crushes. I have a self esteems with my looks and still dealing with. I wonder if God just wants me to be single. Although, everyone that I tell doesn't believe it.

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Sometimes I felt like that as well, like I was going to find no one. Then I started trying to look for someone everyday but now I've learnt to sit back, relax because I know it will happen one day. The boy I did like ive now realised is a complete idiot but there is this new boy in my life who I've been talking to that seems like he genuinely likes me and wants to be in a relationship with me! Try going out with a friend ones Friday night to distract yourself and you'll find that you think about it less and the feeling of being sad is gone or suppressed! It worked for me! Xxx

I've definitely felt the same as you, about not thinking that anyone could like me. 
In all honesty, i'm sorry that the relationship sizzled out. From what you've written, to me it kind of seems like he's shy and like he has no idea how to act in a relationship, so he's just letting it fizzle out. 

It's up to you how you deal with it. You could keep talking to him if you want to still try again, try and just go slow, see what he expects from a relationship, etc. But if you're over it and you're too hurt, in my opinion, you should move on and find someone who's a bit more serious and maybe more mature with relationships and is looking to definitely take it somewhere?

Trust me though, you're not going to be single forever. It's just about timing and eventually someone will come along and it'll work out.  When I get down about being single (Yes Friday nights !, etc) I just try to remember that this is time I have to work on myself and my confidence and whatever's bothering me about myself. Also it means that I have time to work out what I want in life and what my goals are without having to take into account anyone elses opinions or their goals, etc.

I feel for you. Really, I do. I feel the exact same way. 20 years old and still single. :/

At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross. Here's what I know: if you're willing to take a chance the view from the other side is spectacular.

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Hey, I've been there. Once when i was 17 and once when i was 18. Both guys said they had feelings for me but neither could commit.

 

I began to feel I was meant to never marry or be alone forever. But this isn't true! There is someone for everyone and you will find someone to spend your time with for right now.

 

I know EXACTLY how you feel and it must be adding to the depression. But keep your head up!  you are a real catch :smileyhappy: You will find someone. It may not be this month or year but you will. I promise you. I still haven't and I am almost 20. But you just have to stay positive.

Re: Feeling like I'm going to be single forever

Wow all of your relies are so awesome :smileyhappy: I guess the best thing is that I'm not alone, even though it feel like it sometimes. On a happier note, I guess the situation hasn't affected my depression too badly, because it seem to be getting better :smileyhappy: Yay! Us girls just have to remember that we are totally awesome and it's the guys who are missing out :smileywink:
