I read all your posts and understand where you are coming from. Once you've been single for so long, all the advice people give like "He'll come when you are not looking" or " Enjoy this time alone" or "Marriage is not everything", start to ring hollow and are no longer comforting because all you want is your own special someone and you are tired of waiting for him.
I don't have much advice for you, but I can tell you that you are not alone. It is not comforting, I know, but you are not alone.
You are right, I guess this type of advice is not helpful especially coming from people who had not been there. I guess we are trying to cheer her up and offer a different perspective, instead of saying: "Yes, we understand how you feel"...which is what she probably needs the most. Although if all of us responded in this way, this thread would end really quickly.
I have a friend yelling at me right now cause I'm upset about this. She's just criticizing me, yet she met someone 5 months after a relationship that she claims she checked out of way before it was over. This is the sort of thing that makes me feel very misunderstood.

You are upset and she is yelling at you? What the hell kind of friend is that?
well she didn't raise her voice that high. she just sounded concerned..but she finally started to understand thankfully.
Well at least her voice isn't as booming as mine. I can wake the dead if I raise it a few notches and if I get too carried away I think my windows start shaking.
haha seriously?? I had no idea that just cause a woman is attractive, she suddenly becomes "taken". I get told all the time that I'm attractive (I don't think I am, but I take care of myself, know how to dress and am thin, with great boobs ) and the biggest problem I have is men throwing themselves at me..it really creeps me out. I just want someone who can control his urges while I'm trying to get to know him. Men throwing themselves at me has only gotten worse over the years, which I find ironic..I thought I was supposed to be getting "less attractive" at 25 years old. I guess I am living proof that "attractive" doesn't always equate to "taken". My old roommate is in the same boat as me and she's 10 times hotter than I am, but at least she lives in LA where everyone is single and she can actually enjoy her solitude. No, I don't want to live there, I already did and hated it.
Yeah, mir, you really got a problem there. Your life really sucks.
Gimme a break.
