Hey guys

I hope you are all well and I'm sure you have heard or responded to a similar question like this before. however it is very applicable to me as I am 27 going on 28 in a few months and I'm not in a relationship either serious or a casual.

but when I hang out with friends or acquaintances it seems they are all in relationships every single one of them, or at least have a girlfriend and makes me feel very left out and worried as I feel if i can't meet someone when I am young there isn't much luck of meeting someone as I get older.

II really am sad about this and don't know what else to do as I tried to just be positive and optimistic, but on days when I have a free house I wish I had a companion 2 be with if you know what I mean.

    This is very common-- feeling the way you do.. There is nothing wrong with you at all. And I would say DON"T rush it!! You are very lucky to have friends and acquaintances-- enjoy your time with them-- we all need lifelong friendships as this is so important as we get older. Also you can take more time for you and hobbies which is also a major plus. Think about your career and what you would like to do in the future. If you like to travel, there are trips you can take where everyone is single. Cook something healthy for you-- this is a great skill to have for a lifetime.I'm confident in time you will meet the one for you but for now enjoy being you.
