Dear Darby,
I'm currently single and it sucks. Most of my friends are in good relationships and I'm all alone. I’m a nice person, pretty good looking and think of myself as fun to be around. I’ve been asked out once this month but he was not the kind of guy I'm usually into.
Just a little frustrated.
Dear Just a Little Frustrated,
Are you frustrated because you are single or frustrated because you aren’t dating as frequently as you would like? Are you disappointed that at you’re”young” age you aren’t in a relationship with commitments and responsibilities? Are you in your teens, twenties, or thirties and up?
If you’re in your teens, then I can understand the peer pressure of dating and being with the “one”. If you’re in you’re in your 20’s one should be in and out of relationships to taste what commitment is like and have fun and romance.
If you’re in your 30’s, that’s where we usually have had three or more jobs, been engaged once or twice, have had our hearts broken or broke a few hearts, checking out the road of life, traveled, and have an idea of what we want in life, in others, and have seen a little of the world.
If you’re in your forties, you’ve experienced all these life’s challenges and will experience more. Now, living these adventures and seeing what you have to look forward to, be happy that you are young, with prospects of traveling, meeting new people, volunteering, because you have so much to give and receive in life.
If you are looking for love and a relationship, you won’t find it. But, if you live your life to be happy and put your eagerness and energy to benefit yourself and others, it will find you. The magical word is “it”!
Volunteer; get a part time job where you’ll meet people. Get a bike, join a bike club. Go where your interests take you and you will find people interested in you and your interests.
Have fun, meet people and be happy. Nice, happy people do finish first.
Enjoy the summer,
Princess Darby
