Angel88, I am from Canada. I lived in Germany as an exchange student when I was “young” lol.
Being single is so easy for me too and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. You definitely learn how to be self-reliant and to value independence. Last year I made the decision to live alone too so I’m self-sufficient as well. It does get lonely from time to time and I wonder what it would be like to share a space with a partner. I do believe it will happen one day. I just hope it’s sooner rather than later :o)
Thank you for all of your replies. Although everyone’s life journey is different, I’m beginning to think it’s just being at the right place at the right time when it comes to meeting someone for a serious relationship. I know people who are more introverted than myself who seemingly found a partner. I’ve been reflecting on my life experiences in my twenties and early thirties and I am convinced that the goals I’ve accomplished would not have happened if I was coupled up. For example, I’ve lived abroad four times on four different continents in my twenties and finished graduate degree in my early thirties. I don’t think my life is boring by any means but when I think of how many men I’ve crossed paths with over the years, I just feel regret that nothing happened – not even another fling!
I have been trying to actively attend meet ups (especially single meet ups) and I went to two events last week. I’m not a social butterfly so it’s pretty exhausting but I do feel better for putting myself out there. I’m not having much success with online dating so far but I will keep at it since I’ve paid for it (otherwise I think I would give up). Actually, today is suppose to be “Dating Sunday” the most popular day for sending/receiving messages. Sigh. I keep telling myself it’s a numbers game and that just because a romantic relationship has never happened in the past doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. Got to keep positive!
