I'm 26 years old and I have not been in a relationship-ever!
I have not dated, although I have lots of friends and we hang
out.It's not because I believe there's just one person in the
world for each person but I believe that friendship and compatibility
are key factors in successful relationships.
I really don't miss not being in a relationship because I've
never been in one but I'd like to meet someone someday and we'll
spend the rest of our lives making each other miserable! (lol!)
My parents have been married for over 30 years and are still really
good friends and companions and I want that too but I'm beginning to
wonder if there are people like me out there who want the same things
I do.

Well, you will not find "the one" if you don't get out there! Meet some new people, that you haven't been friends with forever, and see if you find that "spark." Friendship and compatibility are important, but you need to have passion too. Good luck!

You are so right!
I do 'get out there' but I'm too
busy doing things perfectly to
remember to take the time to let
my hair down and have a good time.
And passion is a definite prerequisite!
I'll look out for that too.
Thanks :-)

Hey, I am older than you, and I only in a relationship once, and it was a mistaken one too. I also wondering if I can find another half of life too. I would also wonder if there is someone out there is absolutely for me. When would I meet her in this lifetime?

Those are really pertinent concerns.
I'm glad there's someone out there
like me.
We'll figure it out eventually-I'm
sure and we'll find the special
someone someday....
Thanks!

When you stop trying to look for the right person, that person will show up in your life. Who knows, maybe you already know the person and just haven't realized it yet. Don't sweat it, I found that once I became happy with myself, truly happy with myself, and I stopped looking, things all fell into place.

I wasn't looking in the first place.
I guess I got a little jolt when I woke
up one morning and realized I'd never
dated but that was it.
I'm happy with myself but want to share
my life with someone eventually and have
kids and all.
Thanks for the comment!
It reinforces how I feel about this situatiion.

There is no certain age when love will find us. When we find the one of our dreams we may not even see it coming. your heart will lead the way. Don't give up on finding the one meant for you. They are out there. when you are meant to find love, it will happen for you.

You're probably right.
I need to meet new people
might even put things in perspective
for me i.e: maybe the person for me
has been under my nose the whole time.
Thanks!

There is someone out there for you. If you want to meet someone who likes the same things that you do, I would suggest that you get out there and join clubs and organizations that are geared around your interests. I always loved to run and I met my husband of 38 years when I ran a 10K. My cousin didn't meet her soul mate until she was 34. She could have settled but held out for the "one." and she is deliriously happy. Good luck

you are still single because may be you wanted to stay single....
may be you didnt tried to get into a relationship....
have you ever tried to impress a girl???
if not then go and try your best bro....just be yourself...
i am 19 now and i am also single....because i never tried to impress a girl....i have female friends in my life but they are not of my type thats why i am just a friend of them ....a simple friend ...not a good or best friend ....
forget about your past that you never had a girlfriend.....just concentrate on your present and your future will get changed due to that
just try your best ....
all the best
happy mylotting

I our believe, to get a right companion is not so easy.
Everything of our life is set by the God.
We never be aggressive to ask for an ideal companion.
We only can meet someone as our ideal companion.
At the moment, a bachelor is very wonderful.
When you are older and most of the people around you have set up their old families, then you will start feeling lonely.
I hope you should pray more.
May God bless you to get what you wish.

hello enigmatick! have you heard the saying true love waits? if you did, no need to rush yourself in entering relationship. you just have to wait because He will give it to you at the right time and at the right moment. i had this experience, where i came to a point that i have been desperate why my friends have their partner, and why me has noone. a big question mark alway running into my head, "am i ugly", why can somebody notice me? am i intimidating? or they just dont like me?. and then, due to desperation, a guy came and i thought he was the one destined for me for the rest of my life, but he cheated on me, and as my sweet revenge when i knew he's more inlove that me, i turned him down. that day, i cant even love the way i used to be. its like the song, "i remember the boy but i dont remember the feelings anymore." so i suggest you, need not be in a hurry, there will always be destined for us, who will love us, accepts us, and be with us till gray hair grows. :)

hi enigmatick!
there's no need to be in a hurry. it's good that you enjoy, and i think you have enjoyed, being single. don't be in a hurry.
some people have their serious relationships in the late 20s and 30s. it's not really the age that matters in relationships.

Compatibility might not always be 100% when you meet someone. It might be half but adjust slowly reaching its full potential in a couple of years. Do not be afraid to experiment, you will have to kiss lot of frogs before the prince is revealed to you.

Life is complex. But I agree with many myLotters. Many relationships start with friendships. Believe it or not, one of those potential mates have their eyes on you and you don't know it. Some of us men don't have a clue and look at books and other things to get a hint on whether we have a chance with a person or not. Some folks, like myself, are very particular and that can hurt. Don't be like me, old, unemployed, and wondering if my last chance to be with a female will come before I cash in life's chips. One thing I notice is that once you get a woman, then the women will come after you. They seem to wait until you catch someone before they come. Having been alone all these years, once I get into a relationship, I don't want any other women coming around.

.don't lose hope! :D
.if you have your high standards, it will be difficult too reach. i think if you feel something for someone, you should go for it. we all don't know where it will bring us. don't take for granted someone because it must have been true love but you slipped it away...sometimes, we have to fight for what we want in order to have it. we might have nothing left if we are waiting or finding for a better one.
.i've never been in a relationship. but i don't care. i'm still happy. and i know someday, it will come my way! :D
.goodluck to you! :D

Whatever happens,happens for good only. May be you are destined for this. But dont worry, i think some pretty thing is waiting for you to join her life and make both of your lives miserable....:)Just wait for the right time and you will never know, how things happened so fast.

You know, you can't force anything. It happens sooner or later, and whenever it happens, just enjoy it (: Go out, meet new people, make friends and maybe one of them will be IT. Just don't be too focused on finding a partner, as said before, you can't force love.
Good luck (:

You will meet the right one when it's the time.
You really shouldn't worry about it.
