I just recently broke up with my boyfriend (last week) and am already wondering how long it will take me to get a new one. He was a great guy and I'm sad about our relationship ending, but I want to find Mr. Right. I'm only 27, but I feel like I need to find him soon. I can't just be happy being single, I feel too alone. Some of my friends are single and happy about it, they don't seem to need a man all the time. Whats wrong with me that I just can't be happy being single, but always have to be searching for my next man?

Hang out with your single friends, even with your friends who have bf's/hubbies and you'll see you can be happy in other areas in your life until you find a Mr. Right. I hate being single but have been for 10 months. I'm just now getting interested in dating again but I'm so afraid it'll mess up my weekends with my friends. I love going over to friends houses and just hang out with a group of us.
You just have to learn to be happy with yourself and see what all good things you have going on in your life. Be happy with yourself before you find happiness with another. Don't depend on someone to MAKE you happy, they can only make you happier.

The way you are feeling, I am feeling just the opposite. Im in my early 20s and have been single all my life except a few months, and although I occasionally long for a significant other, I don't feel that's what it takes to make me happy. Im happy alone because the things that I think will make me happy are accomplishments, close friends, being good at my career, etc. However, just because I am okay with being single (for now) does not mean I am happy in general. Personally, I think I need friends to be happy. I seem to make friends, and lose them pretty soon afterward. Although I have had a few good friends in my life, they are in the past, and what I really long for is good friends now. So what you appear to have, friends, someone else is longing for.

we are made to be together, not stay alone. thats why we always want somebody. but some of us feel it more than others.
don't worry, he'll come along. everyone has someone. it happens when you ARENT expecting it. so... try to have fun being single!

i hadthe same problem, and whats helped me is knowing that i have friends to rely on to make me feel better, i just hung out with them and still felt good about myself. you don't have to have a man to complete you, its time to be miss independant. i had that problem, and once i figured this out, i am sssssooooooooo much happier with my life.
