anymore, it seems like every single young adult in this country (US) has a bf or gf, and it's VERY frustrating. :(

If you are between the ages of 15-25, and are single, without a bf or gf right now, please reply. I just need to know that there is still hope in this world, and that im not the only one that is alone. most especially in the usa.

also, if there are any NT's (non-as people), out there, i'd really like to hear from you if you're single.


it has all gotten very depressing. :( :cry:

I'm single. A lot of people I know are.

Trust me, you're far from alone, although it can feel like that a lot of the time due to how our culture is set up.

Huh? How is our culture set up to make people think everyone is taken? :? I would think the problem is more psychological. Such as, if you think everyone is taken and are bemoaning that, chances are you're going to focus on people who are taken and ignore evidence that doesn't support that belief.

Anyway, I am single and 20, and although I'm not in the US our culture is virtually the same. But I'm not interested in seeing anyone... even if Aphrodite herself turned up naked on my doorstep smothered in drippy honey.

I'm single and 23.

Right now, I mostly use dating sites where I scan them for the least attractive girls. Since looks are a minimal concern to me, this should improve my chances in finding a relationship. Simply put, I use online dating sites the way they were used in the mid to late 90's. (In the days when Match.com was free.) Back then, there was a widesread stereotype that only really desperate and/or unattractive people met dates online.

When I need to "flush out the plumbing to keep it from rusting," there is a very reliable escort agency in my city that I use. They're good with keeping scheduled appointments, the operator is civil and polite on the phone, the girls are very friendly, and the hotel rooms they use are amazing. Also, the girls like seeing someone their age for a change, since most people who see escorts are middle-aged businessmen.

All in all, it's not the best situation to be in, but I've heard worse stories on WP. I hope everyone who wants a relationship finds one.

People are just great BS'ers and great at hiding the fact that they're single. At worst they try to make it look like they're just playing the field when they're high and dry. Being that no one seems to want anyone who isn't sought after competitively by the opposit sex it probably stands to reason why people push that front so much.
