I am 29 and been feeling like i should be at least dating right now.?

Question

Everyone I know is in a relationship, except for my gay friend and he gets lonely and depressed a lot. There's one other guy who is single too, but it's even been getting on his last nerve. He is always cranky when he's single. I also have two weddings to attend this summer. One of the brides suggested i bring someone and thinks i'll have more "fun" if i bring a date or friend. The other is a family wedding, everyone always brings someone and they always look at me, because they never have seen me w/someone even though i've dated before, just never anything that lasted long enough to bring home or to a wedding. I've tried to ignore my feelings of loneliness but they are getting worse. The thing is I should be getting another job right now, moving up in my career, but I still feel like I want to be in a relationship for some reason. I don't know what my problem is. Why can't I get past these feelings and just live?

Answer 1

I don't think this is abnormal. A lot of us (late 20-somethings) are not dating, not engaged, not married. It's a generational thing. We're kinda loners. I know, I know...that doesn't make things better.
I have the same issue. My mom keeps dropping the 'grandchild' hint - especially around the holidays. Yuck. I think that we feel pressured b/c society tells us that we should be at certain places in our lives when we reach a certain age. The only way to get over these feelings is to ignore what everyone else is doing.
You will find the right girl when you stop looking for her.
Good luck! :-)
