i understand your frustration at not having a mate, but things could be worse.. You could be missing a leg, or an arm, and have shit really difficult for you, and then it wouldn't be the question of having a mate, it would be the question of "how the hell am i gonna do this or that". its never as bad as you think, sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we tend to block others, or not focus on others at all.. we are too intent on finding something, anything wrong with us so that we have yet another thing to focus on.. i'm going to use myself as an example..I am 24 years old, and I am happily married.. but this wasn't always so.,.. I got married and had a baby at 17, pregnant again at 18, that baby was stillborn at 8 months, then we divorced, i met someone and later on remarried at age 22, by then I had lost another baby due to the baby having deformation in its limbs, then we got pregnant again, this time with a healthy baby boy, who was born at just 5 lbs with the cord wrapped around his throat.. He's ok, thankfully, but while you want someone to be with, I want to have living children.. We have to work hard at what we want, not lose our focus, and most of all stay positive.. If you met man right now, He'd be hearing about "its not fair, I am lonely, no one likes me".. Thats a pretty negative attitude.. Believe me, everything happens for a reason.. and maybe this ti,e is for you to find youself, focus on no one but you, work on your issues.. Look at this time as a blessing... I'm not coming down on you, i'm sorry if its coming across that way.. I just believe that you are a beautiful woman and the right man will come along eventually, and then we all know there is no more focusing on you, its focusing on the relationship..
