loneliness

Anyone else suffer it?

Been struggling with it for a while. I'm generally a pretty happy go lucky kinda guy but I feel like I'll never find a missus. My confidence seems to be getting worse and worse. I'm only 24 but pretty much all my mates are in long term relationships I feel left out and I don't have that best mate who relies on me anymore.

Gets me down when nothing's around to take my mind off it. Anyway, advice would be welcome. Please don't take the piss too hard.
I don't mean to be a doomsayer mate, but finding a girlfriend won't necessarily cure your loneliness; for me, it has made me feel more lonely at times!

For years I'd never been interested in settling down as I never felt 'lonely', but about 18 months ago I decided that it was something I'd been missing out on. However, I do think that I feel a lot more lonely now that I am in a relationship. This has nothing to do with my girlfriend or anything she doing, but it's all just coincided with mates moving further away, and of course being in a relationship means that I have fewer free weekends to go off on my own and do my own thing with just my mates for company.

What I'm trying to say is, having a girlfriend/boyfriend does fill a certain gap, so to speak, but the real remedy for feeling lonely is simply just socialising - hanging out with your mates, interacting with people, etc.
 
Age is irrelevant I remember feeling pressurised and down not having a girlfriend at 18.. Thinking I'd never find one .. It's tough, but you just have to plough on - try online dating maybe or get in touch with old school girl mates, join Gym aswell - exercise make you feel much better. I'm 29 and single and came out of 5 year relationship about 6 months ago it's only last few weeks I've got over it all and starting to move on - but still, every now and then being single for some can be really crap and lonely - I don't think you need professional help personally , I think it's just natural.
 
Beautiful creatures.

why don't you get a dog, you will be out of the house taking it for a walk. and at night you can talk to him/her and have company with the dog at night, plus taking dog for a walk might find your love walking her dog,

U could go dogging together! soz couldn't help myself sat here on my own in front the laptop ;)

Terrible advice. Everybody knows all female dog walkers are minging and never wash.

Get a parrot if you are lonely.

Teach it words like.. 'hello handsome' and 'who's a pretty boy then', to build up your self esteem.

same here mate, I'm similar age to you and feel I need to get a girl now because I'm in my prime now, and if i don't I'll miss out on doing things with her when we are still young, kind of panicking and sometimes feel I'm in a rush to much to find a girl.

Don't panic mate, they can shave them when they are older...
