Being single at 25 is actually really fun. Its the perfect age when people stop being so stupid and immature (for the most part) and start getting on the same page. Generally - you don't have to worry about people who haven't had sex yet or don't know what its like to be in a serious relationship. At 25 - we've all been there and back. I'm 24 the single scene at our age is definitely rockin. Have some fun - date 3 guys at the same time - get wasted with your girlfriend and make out with some random dude at the bar. (just don't bring him home... thats a little trashy).
hahaha - I wish you the best in your new single life.

Not to be worried. It is normal to feel the strangeness after a long term relationship ends. The comfort and routine in your life changes and now you are focusing on yourself more. You will find someone better for you again. Don't worry and I am glad you got out of a controlling relationship. Enjoy some you time.

Absolutely. If it ended, it wasn't meant to be. And of course you'll find someone to settle down with, but only if you don't look. Funny how someone always comes along when you wasn't looking. It took me till' i was 45 to find the one i really felt happy about settling down with. LOADS o' relationships, always ended in tears.. It was like, "woe is me, i'll never find anyone." And i did. He's an absolute gentleman, treats me like a lady and i hope one day you'll find the same thing too. But at the moment, stop worrying about finding anyone, you're far too young. Enjoy life first.

Of course it is. Takes time to adjust after a relationship and get used to being on your own again but think of it is an opportunity to catch up with friends, go out and do what you like without having to worry about anybody else. You've still got plenty of time to settle down so take time now to do stuff for yourself.

You'l be ok flower, it takes about 3years to get over a long termer, in the mean time don't worry because your only 25 and you can now do what you want with who you want and why you want without any one else telling you different. Enjoy some "you time" for now dont get serious with anyone else for a while and flush it out of your system. JUST HAVE FUN !!!! U'l be with someone again dont try too hard to replace what you've been used to. Have some fun and see some life before getting hitched again. Trust me i know . "ME TIME" is the key !!

It is normal to feel that way, but you have nothing to worry about at all. 25 is fine, enjoy being single and make the most of your freedom, better to be single and happy than in a miserable relationship just for the sake of it.

hello pretty,
of course it is normal, it is called the 'motorway effect'.
You were in a serious relationship and now there is nothing.
You are feeling the drawbacks of a big change.
You can't expect to be jumping straight away onto the next fast train. It takes time to build yourself up again and find someone else for you to care about and love and cherish.
Good luck and don't despair.
Love,
xxx

You ARE normal. Don't be worried silly. Explore life. I felt the same way at your age raising my son, thinking nobody is going to want me. I found the hottest George Clooney look a like with a wonderful personality when I was 31, It's 3 years later we still are a mushy, married, very much in love couple. Get to know yourself, have fun, when you least expect it, you're gonna be very satisfied :-)

Are you kidding me?! This is completely natural!
At 25 you are still very young. Don't stress about it at all. You have so much time on your side. And anyway, as you get older you are more likely to meet people that are ready to settle down rather than be childish and play stupid games.
