I get it.
You’re the only one out of your group of friends that isn’t in a relationship. You watch your friends be cute with their partners and go on dates and have everything that you’ve ever wanted. You’ve been the third wheel to them while they hang out, even though they claim that it is just friends hanging out.
“Oh, you’ll find someone,” or “I know someone I can set you up with,” are common phrases you hear when you go out, and you believe it. You know that there is someone out there for you but you still get set up with your friend's cousin or their roommate's brother. It doesn’t bother you, because hey, at least you’re going on dates and meeting new people.
You’re on every dating app possible from Tinder to Plenty of Fish to Bumble. A few dates have been produced from these and a few hook ups. All your friends think that this one is going to be the one. It never is.
But after all of these things, you know that in your heart that it is okay to be single and that your perfect partner hasn’t been found yet. Don’t let it discourage you to go out and experience the same things that couples do.
Go on that date. Take yourself out on that date you’ve always wanted to go on. Being single and being alone are two different things. You’re not alone, you have your friends and your family.
You don’t have to feel like you are going to be “forever alone” because your single. No, don’t get that idea in your head.
Go on dates with your friends. Dates do not have to have a romantic setting to it. Coffee dates, painting dates, basically anything you do with your pals.
But to the girl who is a hopeless romantic who wants to find that person to love and cherish wholeheartedly, don’t give up. Love is out there, I promise.
