I wonder if the OP is suffering from small town syndrome. Her story sounds similar to mine and others where you pretty much doomed to being single because everyone pairs off before they turn 20.

And if they ARE single, chances are they have kids or no job prospects and mooch like never before. In a large metro area I don't think it's TOO hard, but the commute might be hard to get past.

You'd think with all the late 20-early 30 single childless men around she'd find someone. Chances are they're probably into smart stuff or geek (I HATE using that word) hobbies.

As long as you allow people to make you their piece on the side? That is all you're gonna be.

Stop going after men who have girlfriends. That's a start.

I'll forever just be a side piece. I missed the window of opportunity to fall in love and meet someone years ago.
Oh, boy...here we go again.

YEAH! Because you can't be a real man without shooting animals and getting grease under your fingernails!

I kind of feel that way too. I didn't date much when I was younger, and now I'm your age and every man seems to be balding, divorced, had kids, taken, or if they're not, there's a reason. But what I've noticed is, when you're single, it feels like a long time before someone comes along, but when they do, it usually proceeds so quickly and changes your life too fast. So just enjoy being single until the time comes.

No, no and NO! Any man who cheats WITH you will cheat ON you.

Like others, I've grown weary of your pity party. I'm sure the men you do meet sense your desperation which is either an opportunity to take advantage of you (the booty call/side piece) or run the other way.

It's time that you take a break from your quest to find anyone, instead of that special someone. It seems your self esteem is derived from what you think others think of you, and because you don't have a man that you are a nobody. Envying others is not an attractive outlook, and will ultimately be self destructive. Please, please stop this thinking.

Make yourself into a quality, interesting non-desperate woman. Be active. Join a gym. Volunteer. Travel, even by yourself. Have an adventure. Get a makeover. Change your style. Go to Meetup groups. Take classes in something you are interested. Even take a class in something you're NOT interested in. It will broaden your horizons. Change jobs, change careers. Move to a larger community.

Talk to people, and most importantly LISTEN to people. Both men and women love it when someone takes interest in them. Most people love to talk about themselves and their interests.

Your adult life has barely started, let alone be over. Stop obsessing over not having a man, stop worrying about others will think. It will set you free! Enjoy your life, and let others be envious of you instead!
