I feel alone without a boyfriend

I see this happen again and again where I work. Women who need a man to make them feel happy. The only problem with this is that if they can't feel happy without a man, then they will probably not feel happy with a man for long. It's normal to want a companion, but you should learn to like yourself and feel comfortable on your own too. Try it out for a while - see how much you can accomplish all on your own first - then you will have a lot more to offer in a relationship and if that relationship doesn't work out - you will still be okay.

Your relationships aren't going to work until you're cool by yourself. Take the time to be independent and fall in love with yourself first.

it would be nice if you'd feel ok being without one. it is true that the road of life can be much easier with the right person by your side though.

the right ones seem to come out of nowhere, when you aren't looking for them. maybe that's because the pressure of finding a mate isn't there.

men love happy, confident women. good luck:)

I feel just like you. Wanting a boyfriend so badly . I'm glad am not alone with this feeling

I feel exactly the same right now.

Ofcourse you are normal, we guys too feel exactly the same way.

Thank you so much for your responses, guys. Your perspectives are so helpful :), and it makes me feel so much better to know that I'm normal!

With that response it seems like you reasons are completely normal and what everyone person feels, someone to stand by them and have a connection with. Even with friends there still is a gap that can only be filled with that one person. I wont lie to you because im a realist, as cynical and pessimistic as it may sound, but you never know when or if that person will come into your life. Maybe my opinions are skewed, but good luck.

Hey midontcare, I think you may be on to something. I know that I want to do a lot with my life, and I know that many women fall into traps when they commit to bad relationships. However, it just seems that it's hard to accomplish things when there isn't a great support network. You need people to back you up, you know?...It feels like hell to not have a boyfriend. Maybe I just need to depend on my girlfriends more instead of getting a new bf. IDK.

It def would feel right to have a bf. They fulfill so many needs, and they're fun. I guess I will just have to sit put and see what happens.

no women just need and emotional bond as opposed to guys depending on this. This book "chastened" explains everything it just came out.

Thanks a lot, guys!

It's hard to define properly living. It really depends on what you believe it is and not what everyone else says. Society distorts individuality, what I'm trying to say is do what makes you feel normal and not someone else's standards because in the end it really is what makes you feel right and not what the world sees as right

I think it is. You maybe just want that security of someone being there for you, to hold onto, someone to love, someone to talk to. Your time will come. He want just suddenly appear, work on a relationship and see where it goes from there, good luck!
