i used to, but now im happy for them
everyone has a soul mate, but sometimes we get disheartened coz weve been waiting so long, or our past relationships just havent worked or been disasters when we thought they were the one.
but it comes down to a confidence in yourself. a knowing in your heart that your turn is coming. You ARE, my friend, worthy of love. You DO deserve to be loved and to be happy, and if you want a life partner, you WILL find one.
for now, just concentrate on preparing yourself for that special someone. Build your own Character, make changes for the better. We usually do this outwardly. like some women, when they break up with someone will have a total makeover, change there hairstyle and colour, go on a shopping spree. Theres nothing wrong with this, and it can be healthy as long as you only go as far as your bank balance reasonably allows, but at the end of the day you still feel empty inside. like somethings missing. Building your character, working on your personality and being a person of integrity, is a great thing, coz not only is it honouring your soul mate before you even meet them, but it makes u feel good inside to know that you are becoming a better person. nobody is or will be perfect, and we shouldnt strive for that, but just being introspective without being critisizing of yourself, just aware, is such a great thing. Concentrate on being a good friend. being good to your family and co-workers. then you will be ready when Mr/Mrs right comes along.
For me though, the only thing that filled that void, that lonely gap in my heart, the only thing that made me whole without needing a man, was when i accepted the greatest man into my life... Jesus Christ. God gave me freedom from loneliness, and need of others. Now i have Him, so i can be a support to others that feel the way i used to... and Mr Right, is on his way. im enjoying the journey of single'ness to coupledom, one day at a time :-)
God bless you on your journey friend :-)

Before I was married, yeah... it was difficult seeing other people in happy relationships. I was happy for them, but I was sad because I wanted the same thing. Now I have it, and try my best to watch myself when I am with single friends. I try not be overwhelming with my affection towards my husband, or totally ignore others when we are not alone. I don't want to make anyone else feel like the "3rd wheel" like I always did. Don't worry, you will find someone. The moment you stop looking it will happen. That is how it happened for me.

Yeh, i do i guess. I'll look away, try not to pay attention. In my old job some of them would walk around the shop, blatantly kissing and hugging.. then they'd come up to the counter and have this expression on your face that felt to me like 'we're together, and you're alone..' but i just try to ignore it the best i can.

Absulutely!!! It's so depressing and some day sit seems the universe is trying to rub it in that you have no one by letting you be surrounded by them everywhere you so.

That is tough when your not in a relationship, but be happy for them & know you will be in one again soon.

I pity them for not knowing the joys of singlehood.
