I havent had a gf or anything serious in quite some time and I've made a career out of being the fifth real. No proud of it, but that's how it has been with my friends, most of whom have gfs. I have lots to offer, but it;s not working out. I just turned 26 and I think it's starting to get sad and while I have tried to better my love life, it's not getting better. Why do people treat relationships and being with someone like its so important. I try to stay focused on myself, but there's couples everywhere. I get jealous. I feel like I'm being crapped on because it apparently comes easy for everyone else. Am I wrong to feel like this?

First, its never wrong do have feeling of any kind its the action we do behind those feelings. So don't beat yourself up for being human. I think you need to have more self-esteem. I've been the outsider looking in and your right its no fun.. But when I finally got comfortable in my own skin, it was much better. Because you have low self esteem and stuff happens its just fuel for the fire..You have good qua lites, I hope your able to see them and no more fifth wheel. Its OK to be singe at any age. Love your self and other will be drawn to you... Make it a great day.. We living on this planet with all its problems are still worth it!!.

No it's nothing wrong about feeling that way. If you don't won't to be in a relationship right now. Then don't sweat it. Take ya time, and do what you wanna do.
But if you want that loving feeling, and wanted to be with someone . Then don't rush into it. Just take your time, and let love find you. There are plenty of people who is older then you. That are single and have noone. It's not the end of the world, you are not an old maid.
Get to know a neighbor, ask a friend who is a girl out on a friendly date. Sign up on a dating service, let one of your friends fix you up on a double date. Like I said don't rush into something, that you might be trap into. Or get into one , that you can't get rid of that person.
Make sure you get to the know the person good, before getting serious with her. The cycle is going to go on. When you find that special someone. Then somebody be thinking the same thing like you. And it keeps repeating.....

it's ok to be single at any age.
i wish I stayed single a lot longer than I did. Unfortunately I got sucked into the group that believed ur not complete without a bf.
If I took half the time I did trying to get into/ manage relationships and gotten to know myself more, I could've spared myself a lot of drama and heartache- having a relationship can be like having job. you have to work hard. sometimes for less pay than ur efforts deserve.
the best relationship I have is with my now husband. We were good friends first. Yeah there was always an attraction between us, but we took our time and got to know each other and ourselves as a couple.

Hi! I'm 27 and single as well. Wait for someone you really love. Don't focus too much on what others are doing around you, because most people will go out with anyone just to date. Enjoy your single life, because one day you will find the perfect person for you. :)

You Bet!! Enjoy your single status - plenty of time to be nailed down in a relationship. Just think about it, you can go where you want, when you want and spend as much money as you want. If you want to date you can and if you don't you don't have to.
You are like a good wine that with time will get better, more experienced and a better partner. Take this time to work on your career, hobbies and interests - there is plenty of time to settle down when you are closer to 30. Women are waiting longer to settle down too.
Be happy

awww.... it is okay to be single at any age. What isn't okay is that you want someone in your life and don't have someone. I think you should try to find someone special. It sounds like that is what you really want. Have some of your friends set you up with their girlfriend's friends. Go to a book store and see if you can meet someone there. Think positive and act positive - that will attract someone to you more than anything... Good luck.

ask me again when you are 40 and still single. then we will know you have a problem. 26. no big deal at all. by the way, all the hot professional women will start looking for baby daddy material in another 6 years or so and so be ready.

Sometimes, it just takes longer to find the one you're looking for. I think it's fine for you to be single at your age. Afterall, this generation of women tend to put of getting married and having children until their thirties. So, either look for older women, or wait a couple more years. By the time you're thirty, you'll have women beating your door down for relationships.

OMG... I didn't even really read what you said, but saw that you just turned 26... and you're a GUY. YES, it is fine to be single (at any age), and quite frankly I'm shocked you'd even consider settling down. Have FUN!!! You're too young for monogomy.
