Hi everyone, just looking for some advice from anyone who's been in a similar situation. I'm single and have been for a while, which does particulalry bother me, except a lot of my friends have recenently got into relationships and im starting to feel like the spinster of the group! When they all talk about their boyfriends i cant help feeling really rubbish about myself as no one is interested in me. Any tips for being single and happy?

grymsoul agony auntYeah, you can definitely be single and happy. I use to think that I needed. A girlfriend to feel fulfilled in life. That was until I actually got one. Sure, we had fun times, but I didn't enjoy the times after she cheated. The constant worrying of where she was and what she was doing. It just really drove me insane. I don't enjoy someone else having control of my emotions. I've now been single for a few months now and the FREEDOM Is REFRESHING.

Relationship aren't all what they seem to be on the outside. They're not always walking flesh bags of fun. They're very often filled with insecurity, jealousy and angst. After my last relationship, I don't think I've ever appreciated the single life this much before

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntYou simply need to remind yourself that, in six months, those of your girlfriends who are dating guys are probably going to be submitting here, saying the likes of: "My boyfriend is a jerk,..." or, "My boyfriend is sleeping with my best friend....." or, "My boyfriend loves his dog more than he loves me..."... Who needs that crap?????

Count your blessings..... Good luck....

person12345 agony auntOf course it's possible. It's better to be single than in a relationship with the wrong person too. Like Aunt Honesty said, try to arrange fun girls only nights.

You don't need a boyfriend to be happy, you managed to go through life so far without a boyfriend and have you ever felt like you really needed one? I haven't.

Don't feel rubbish about yourself because you haven't got one I had the same thing, from my experience I was desperate not to have a boyfriend, much happier by myself when I can just be me around my friends and not feel like I have to be constantly impressing someone for them to like me (but that's just my experience :P).

Someone who's as interested in you as you are in them will come along one day and you'll feel happy about it but until then there's no reason for you to be unhappy just because you don't have a boyfriend, enjoy your freedom of being single you can do what ever you want without worrying or thinking if they're happy with it or whatever.

Hope this helps :) xx

aunt honesty agony auntOff course it is possible to be single and happy, you don't need a man in your life to enjoy yourself or have a good time. Arrange girlie nights out with your friends and shopping trips. Take up new hobbies that you can do or join new clubs.

oldbag agony auntHi

Ofcourse its possible, a boyfriend is a nice addition to your life not the be all and end all.

Just fill your time with stuff you enjoy doing, you don't have to consider anyone when making plans, thats the good thing. Somebody really special will appear one day but at the moment enjoy your stress free life and freedom. There are thousands of single people all ages just getting on with their lives.
