Being single is NOT easy. Please provide some encouraging words for struggling single adults. Write something positive, tell your success story and what it took to get there, or state what keeps you motivated. Feel free to address singles who may:
1. live in a small town with few prospective dates
2. feel acute (e.g., breakup, divorce) or chronic loneliness
3. have a history of attracting people with character flaws (e.g., lying, unfaithfulness, alcohol and drug abuse)
4. sexually frustrated
5. other

Here's an encouraging word for you:
I have a male friend who is 47 years old and has never been married. A few years ago he was in a long-term relationship wtih a woman with a ton of baggage (divorced, single mom, mental health issues, etc.) and she broke up with him. He was devesatated and didn't think he'd ever find anyone to love.
This summer he reconnected with a woman from a different state he had met briefly 7 years ago. He found her profile on Facebook and just sent her a message. Within a week, they were talking/texting hours each day. Within two months she had flown out to see him and they were engaged.
Last month he flew out to meet her parents. Early next year he will relocate to the woman's hometown and they plan to get married in the spring.
The woman is everything he has ever dreamed of: pretty, nice personality, great job, wonderful family, Christian, never been married or had kids, etc. So, although he's waited longer than most, he expects to have a wonderful life with her.
Just keep the faith. Sometimes finding love is just a matter of timing.
I always thought being single was fun. I don't see it as a just a waiting period between relationships. Live, enjoy the fact that your time is completely your own, do what you want to do without compromise. Live it up!

Generally, being single is fun. You don't to deal with the baggage/foolishness of the opposite sex and you can afford to be choosy in what you want in a mate. At the same time, make sure you have what you require of another person.
1. live in a small town with few prospective dates
Being single in a small town has got to be terribly hard. I would strongly consider relocating to a city or near a city. Not that it's impossible to find someone in a small town, but you certainly don't want to look forever.
2. feel acute (e.g., breakup, divorce) or chronic loneliness
Gotta be a stronger person, however you go about it.
3. have a history of attracting people with character flaws (e.g., lying, unfaithfulness, alcohol and drug abuse)
Get to knowthe other person better before you commit to anything!
4. sexually frustrated
Be ready to have sex with people carrying character flaws.

Good Luck!
I think moving may be a good idea. Do you have any female friends you hang out with on regular basis? I cannot picture myself not having any contact at all with any females, especially for a long time, I think I would feel very lonely and depressed.
I'm about to be single again... can't wait till it happens. I'm so excited about it...
