does anyone feel this way?

[nefarious3d]

i have felt this way, growing for like, 4 years. i have been single for the great majority of my life, and i dated this one girl 2 years ago that i really loved.. and i think i cant really find another girl like her. she moved on..

and now im 17 (almost 18) and i feel like im gonna be alone and single for the rest of my life..

anyone ever feel that way for a long period of time?
can anyone tell me a way to feel a little bit better?
anyone know of a good online dating service(j/k)

i think you haven't got over your last girlfriend properly and that you are trying to find someone who is very much like her. i think you need to try and move on yourself and when you look for someone else, you should be more open minded about the type of girl you would like to have for a girlfriend. i can assure you that being 17 and being single is not the end of the world and i'm sure you will find someone as long as you remain open minded and that you don't try looking for someone who is very similar to your ex girlfriend. i'm glad your joking about the online dating because you don't need it, at least not when your 17 anyways!

hahah well.. thanks. i feel a little better.
id say im mostly over, at least enough to look for someone different. she wasnt like me at all, and the girls ive been liking but being ditched and thrown around by arent like her at all.. i think i just need to relax and stop looking for a bit and work on myself i guess...
idk but seriously, does anyone ever feel like your gonna be alone forever. like a looming sense of nothing that will just encompass you and you cant fight it.. idk.. like i know i will have another relationship, but i just feel like im gonna be alone forever.
and i was just wondering if anyone felt similarly.

I used to edge on that feeling, but people have been interested in me and I've been interested in others. For me, if things happen, they happen. Having a girlfriend isn't a priority for me. There's a lot of other stuff to do, and those alone can keep me busy. If you're turning 18 soon, I'm guessing that you're probably a high school senior? If you go to college (which can be fun in spite of all the work...) , you're going to meet a lot of new people. What happens with the new people remains to be seen, but college could keep you busy like it's done for me. There's work to be done, and there are friends to hang out with (same if you go to work too). So try not to worry. :)

I have had that feeling, use it to your advantage, i.e work out or go out and socialize. I used the workout thing and its seems to work. Right now i have a crush on this girl, Who i think likes me.(Thanks to working out she hugged me and told her friend who told me that she thought i felt strong and has seemed to take a liking to me) so yeh, use it as an edge.

thanks reaper. i do work out, in school for a class. i dunno ive got plenty of muscle, ive got a eight pack and all that great stuff, but the problem is that im not noticed. i dont know what i did wrong. yea im a senior, and yes i know that college is great.. but im the type of kid that never makes the first move.

so i just feel that due to my lack of "balls" i shall be alone for.. idk a while.
btw reaper i like your pics and is that kerry king as your avatar? its pertty shweet

[sabotaged111]

sup dude. Yeh thats kerry king, his guitar owns. lol anyway. You just gotta grow some balls and take the first step, i know it seems really nerve-racking but if nothing else works its the only thing you can do. I mean whats the worse that can happen? a girl will say no. Its not the end of the world just the end of a conversation;) Yeh so i think the only thing you can do now is just go and ask a girl rather than waiting. Sorry i cant help you completely but good luck and pm me if u wanna talk:D Later.

*edit* - Also you have a long life ahead of you, if the next girl you get isnt ideal, just move on, plenty more fish in the sea;)

hey there...i just think you need to move on. when you're trying to hold onto something from the past, it's hard and that's what makes you feel trapped. if you have hope that you'll find someone who's right for you, then eventually she will come around. it's like if i were to be always compared to someone's ex, it would kill me knowing that i'll never measure up to my bf's expectations because what he wants is someone who's like his ex. what's the past should stay in the past.

[nefarious3d]

honestly i did move on, i kind of just used her as an example. i meant to say that i moved on too. its just a very overwhelming feeling, and yea i know my life is still 80% in front of me. but it still bites. im just so convinced that im gonna be single forever that i cant find a way to get out of that thought...
