HELL YES!!!!!! let me tell you a little story....
There was once a girl very anti marriage, own house, good job on-off again boyfriend. Poor girl (24) got pregnant even though was taking contraceptive pill very carefully!
Has baby on-off again boyfriend runs for the hills!
So now age 27 larger house, 3 year old and trying to have a social life with friends. Always saying nope not me will never meet anyone blah blah.
THEN walking her dogs oneday down the local common..... her naughtly dogs running round and knocked over a man.
She, ofcourse, goes over to apologise.
Went for drink after discovering had been to school with man.
The end of the story is -
We have been married for 2 years and I couldn't be happier!
It does happen when you least expect it and in the strangest of places!
So chin up, enjoy your single life as you never know when it will change x x x

yes it's true.. i think the reason why, is that when ur waiting and expecting something, time goes by SO SLOW. but when u start involving urself in different activities, making lots of friends, having a great time, u don't even notice where the time goes, and "all of a sudden" someone is interested in you!! i think what u should do is just work on urself.. make urself a great, positive, attractive person, so that anyone who meets/sees you will be like, this girl is GREAT!! and that way, when u feel good about yourself, 1) you will have positive/high expectations for the guy u want to date, and 2) it won't bother you so much that you can't find someone this second... a good guy/girl takes TIME to find. u don't wana crappy relationship right? as long as u take care of Yourself, ur appearance, ur mind, ur respect for others, maintain good relationships w/ family and friends and strangers, u will be a "good catch." so when u meet a guy that's not that great, u won't feel "desperate" cuz u know u are awesome, and will wait for a guy who is a "good catch." life is too short to be stuck w/ someone just cuz u want a bf!!! u want the Right boyfriend, who respects and treats u right just as you want to treat him right. don't worry, and Have Fun~~

I am answering this on my personal experience. I was thinking the same way you are now (single life sucks). My friends and relatives kept instilling in me that my time will come when I least expect it. I would have never believed until it happened recently to me. I think I'm the most optimistic person you can meet but, believe me when I say that is VERY true. Hold on to positive thoughts and don't sell yourself short on men, and you'll see, it will happen.

Not necessarily. I think it comes along when you're happy and secure with yourself because that shines through and is attractive to other people.
But I think sometimes you need to go looking. I don't meet anyone through work and got fed up with pubs and clubs and tried the internet, which worked for me. So I suppose it wasn't unexpected when I found someone really, since I was looking!

It could, but one thing is for sure you have to circulate... do things; do yoga, aerobics or go to a gym; go to clubs, bars or even poetry reading. get out of the routine. AND most importantly, always wear nice clothes and take care of yourself. Prince charming won't get an inch close to you if he doesn't feel physical attraction. I don't mean you gotta look like a hollywood star, just look nice. Good luck

it was true for my best friend, she had a horrible break up with this one guy, and after a couple of months of being all "anti-man", she got set up with this one guy, after dating for a couple months, they knew they were meant for one another. They got engaged after 9 months of knowing each other, and they are getting married this Friday....about 8 months of being engaged! I think it might be because guys can see that you aren't desperate and they like a challenge. So if you aren't looking, it would be a little bit harder for them. Good luck....cause I think they do find you when you're not necessarily looking! Just be patient sweetie

Well if your anything like me, and you dont do "Clubs", or you dont go too "Social-Events", then, it might be kind of hard to find someone........I'm looking forward to starting school, so I can hopefully find a male, friend or two........I just want "Male-Companionship" for now.....If things lead elsewhere, then,,I'll take it from there..... But, I'm very "Old-School". And I believe in "Courting Awhile" first, before making any types of commitments, whatsoever!! Which is why I'm looking for Male friendships, first........ And your friend is right, it even says in the bible: For every man, theirs a woman...... So, dont give up, just make yourself a bit more available "looking", like if you never normally wear make-up, start wearing it....Or start putting your hair up, or, different hair styles,dyeing it, etc... Sexier clothing, not too revealing, but, attractive to the eye, type of sexy...... And, just get out to like coffe shops, more, or restaraunts, that have a bar, inside too........ Those, sorts of places......And God forbid, dont go with friends who always get the guys!!! You'll strike-out, every time....find friends, who, aren't as "Stand-out" types, to go fishing with....... Good-Luck, to you !!!

He will come along when you're least expecting it!?
No it's not true. You've got to put yourself out there and be noticed. Otherwise how will he know you even exist.

Yes. Sometimes you can be so wrapped up into the wrong guy until you never realize or notice the one that is around you that is truly interested
