Woooo GIRL, let me tell you. I KNOW what you mean.

I totally feel behind too, even though I am younger than you it's not by that much. I have never had a boyfriend - hell, I've never DATED anyone. Moreover never been in love for that matter! I've gone on dates, but never dated anyone. And sometimes I feel strong and like I don't need a man, and other times I wonder what it feels like to be one of those girls holding hands with a guy walking down the street. I've kissed, and 80% of those kisses have been under the influence of something.

All of my friends have been in relationships before. Serious ones. I'm talking a year or more. And I am the last out of my group of 4 friends to get a guy. I complain to them about it but they can't even relate to me anymore - they've all had boyfriends for so long they forgot what it's like to be single. I hate being inexperienced sometimes.

You know what gets me through the days? I know it sounds silly, but I just tell myself I'm like the SATC girls. (I know, if you saw the end it spoils everything, but still. There are lots of in between moments for all of them) I tell myself I'm like Carrie - someone who won't settle for less than butterflies. I'm single, fabulous (bahah or I try to be) I have my schoolwork to worry about, a social life to tend to - I don't need a man right now. If he comes, then he'll come. I rarely get asked out (even on dates!)...in fact, I almost never do. I used to feel sad about that. But now it's not that important to me anymore. I think if you surround yourself with friends and family who love you, that is a start. Love yourself - have a great relationship with yourself - and love will find you. That is what I am holding out for.

I know, it gets hard, it really does. But just think of Carrie and the girls

it works! And hey, they were just getting started when they were 35, not 25!! Have you thought about trying services like eHarmony? My sister met her future hubbie through there and let me tell you, he is a GREAT guy. Lovely, more than anything we could all ask for (the family loves him!) And yes they are in love. So don't mark it out if you're truely curious!!

Yeah, love might not be the end-all and be-all of life but you covet what you don't have, right? Especially when it's being rubbed in your face.

25/21 is still young, yeah, but not when all of your friends have had relationships since high school. Then you're thinking what's wrong with you that you're the only one who hasn't. It sucks and I definitely sympathize, but unfortunately I can't offer any advice. Just hang in there, I guess.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I'm 21 as well. Yes, i've been in love but it seems like I always get F'ed over and all the girls that are complete bitches have guys that will do anything for them. And a LOT of girls I went to school with and even girls younger than me are married and have kids or are married or engaged or in a really good happy relationship. I must admit it is depressing but like she said all you can do is hang in there. Things will turn around someday.

I have none of these things and I don't know when I will. And it frightens me to the core. Seems like everything is happening for everyone except me.


It's different for everyone, don't compare yourself to your friends or the people around you.

I know where you're coming from, and it's frustrating to hear people tell you "it'll happen" when it's not happening. But you really can't predict when you'll find the right person, and if you do finally fall in love, you never know if it will work out, broken hearts happen.

Love is unpredictable and uncertain. But when you do find love, it's the best thing ever, and I promise it will be worth the wait =) Good luck!

<3 A
