Loneliness and wanting to be in love
This is such a weird problem but lately I've been feeling so lonely and I just want someone there.
I'm 18, female in my first year of uni. I see my flatmates getting coupled up and it makes me feel a bit envious because I really want someone to be in love with and share all that togetherness with. Before uni I had a boyfriend for 2 yrs but we broke up in August. Since starting uni I've had 1 other relationship but it didnt last long because we didnt get on that well.
I have a really specific type of man I go for (usually creative, artistic, fun, loyal etc) and I'm just not meeting anyone here that I would be interested in. Im starting to feel like I'm never going to meet someone special like my friends, who seem to have found someone so easily.
Why cant I meet someone that I'm interested in? I'm just worried that I'll end up alone for a long time and I dont want that! Its weird, because you would think in a place like uni there'd be a variety of different people but I havent found that. Does anyone else feel like this?

I go to quite a small uni, so I miss the culture and range of people that i knew in the city I lived in. If you look properly you'll notice that there are many people not in a relationship. Just be glad that you've had a decent relationship before, as, as seen on the forums many of this age or older sometimes haven't had this experience. Loneliness is a state of mind, find other things in life to fill that gap if you can.

It's a terrible old cliche, but love usually comes along when you're not looking for it - it did for me. Like it was said already, keep yourself busy and don't focus too much on finding someone, there's no point in having a relationship just for the sake of it. 18 is still very young and if you do fall in love it's better to be older because over the next few years you'll really start to change and a lot of relationships, even good ones, don't survive that period. Enjoy singledom, because it's usually sod's law that as soon as you start enjoying it, Mr. Right comes knocking!
i've never loved a guy and im 22 i wish i did though. but many people think they are in love and arent really. when i look back there were times i though t that i was but i wasnt when i look back. im sure love exists but i think it only happens rarely and only to some people. some people will die, married or not, never having truly loved a person. yet there are some couples who met at school and are still together 60 years later i think thats real love.
skeptically i think you are probaly in the majority of peopl who have never loved
