There are those who do feel that way. Being single sucks. Big whoomp-ums.

Oh please do elaborate on this.
How is dating different from years ago?

I loved being single but was introduced to a very nice man and we hit it off.
That doesn't mean being single was all bad just like being in a relationship isn't always all good.
Sounds to me like you need to learn to like yourself first.

I've gone on vacations alone including a 5 day cruise!
Try it, if you can stand being with you, maybe someone else will be able to stand being with you too.

If I'm looking for advice of any sort, I tend to look for mentors who are successful. That's just me.
