How to cope with being single?

9

Ive been single for about a year now, had quite a few girlfriends in the past but nothing has really worked out, mainly coz most girls ive been out with have cheated on me. Any way i'm a shy guy and come to realise i might be single for a while now as i'm not really meeting any new girls. I have alot of other things going on in my life which has made me feel depressed and the constant talk from m8s about relationships has really started to get to me. So what does everyone reckon is the best way to cope with being single when every 1 around you seems to be in love?

Hahaha, well screw that then! Would you really want to be in a relationship which is as ****** and trivial as that? There's bigger fish to fry, so to speak.

Well, I've been single for the past 17 years 355 days so I guess you should think yourself lucky and just deal with it.

If being single is the only problem you have then you're one lucky person. You make out its a major problem or somthing.

Just go and listen to some Smiths or read the Daily Mail you would be so depressed you won't care about being single.

Most of us have got real problems to deal with. At the end of the day a girl left you a year ago, just be greatful you have been in love and move on.

woah woah? who said i dont have any other problems? i have alot of problems and have been to the doctor over depression. I'm meerly stating that being single is one of my problems which is getting me down and i realise its not a huge deal and alot of people havent had a bf/gf at all but i'm a very insecure person and i feel unwanted at the best of times this is ust something which makes me feel worse

What sort of advice were you expecting? Get over it, go see your mates, go for a cycle, something productive.

Best thing truly is not to let it get to you or to really mind about it because I believe personally there is always someone for someone no matter what and just think of that you could go out some night with mates and find the girl of your dreams :smile:

you wouldn't know sweetie but don't worry about it ok :smile:

Ok tips for coping with being single with people around you aren't:

(Trying to be constructive here)

1. Do things that make you happy- watch your favourite film, listen to your favourite music, eat chocolate etc- have some "me" time.

2. When you're with your mates, try to be happy for them- them having a bf/gf doesn't make you any less likely to get one, and remember how much hassle relationships are :wink:

Ok i'm out of ideas!

At the moment, I am kind of in a similar state but I just find myself to be quite busy, and having a relationship now wouldn't probably be the best. Can be sad when you would like to have another person sharing a walk with you, or doing some cooking or going out for dinner. Moreover, for it to survive, you have to put in much energy, and there is always going to be a lot of mental exertion, which I can do without now. But most importantly, it sounds as if you are quite hurt by your past relationships- I would suggest that you should first heal yourself, and then slowly build up your confidence & love yourself. Once you do that, go out and fall in love again! :wink:
