The key is to accept the fact you are single, and not be bothered by it. \nLet other things make you busy, like work or family or friends.. love will come along without you'd even notice. \nBeing single is not something bad, it's not something you need to learn how to handle.. It's temp situation, don't let it bother you too much.

Go to many many local events such as concerts etc, join a club such as line dancing if your into that or a bowling leag. Go to every event your friends may have, a wedding party etc. You can also place an ad in the paper or search for a singles dating place/party in your area online, we have them here in town and i need to go there since im single myself lol. Yahoo personals can be a lot of help too, you just need to be honest about youself and know what you want and be clear in your profile, dont leave anything out such as a picture of yourself, i wont click on any profile without a picture.\nMatch.com and Harmony.com are 2 very good places to place a personal as well, just make sure you fill everything in and it may get you somewhere, oh and keep it local because you dont want to travel thousands of miles to meet and then find there is no sparks. Before meeting her make sure you know A LOT about her, never jump into it and dont believe everything she may tell you and always reply to her e-mail, communication is the keyword when dating online.

what an option.\n\nI guess your wealth is independent on whether you are married or not.\n\nIf you stay single, you can date and have "fun" with alot of people. Some might be deep and good relationships, others may be superficial and wacko. You might have a baby or two - who knows, and you'll be dependent on your surroundings; family or friends to babysit if you want to keep up your happy life.\n\nIf you marry, (for love that is) you can work on a relationship. You can deepen your feelings for each other and this will maybe make you more happy on a long term - who knows. If you have babies, it or they will be borned in a family and this makes a more secure structure if one of parents for instance die or ... something.

Being single has its own blessings.  It also comes with curses.  Same with marriage.  People aren't really meant to be alone, but sometimes it's better.  I know for a fact it's better to be single than be with the wrong one.  If you find the right one, well. . .that would be a major blessing.  \n\nYes, you should be content being single.  If you struggle against it you could end up in a horrid relationship.  Just be patient and content.

Dont rush in the world of dating and relationships.\n\nDont let yourself feel lonely, enjoy life. Being single has its benefits, etc.\n\nI myself is currently single and I dont let issues get to me like many single people. Enjoy it and wait for opportunities to come... and then you will meet Mr Right.   One day, Ms Right will cross my path.\n\nKeep your chin up and take care!!

First, know what you really want.  Subtract your own true needs and desires from that which you have been told to want, or told you must settle for.  Then, use your best thinking to figure where the sort of person who would fit with you is likely to be.  For example, if intelligence is terribly important to you, then the academic world is more important than a sports arena or a TV game show audience.  Next, go where the people you most want to meet are most likely to be, and be a nice person, easy to talk to, and not pressuring anyone.  Get to know people in the context of your hobbies, interests and beliefs, instead of a "singles" type high-sexual energy setting.  Be open to adjustments from your ideal:  maybe it is reasonable for you to want your great love to be very attractive, but what you really want is a balance of factors.  If the person you meet is very compatible otherwise, but not as pretty or handsome as you had imagined, is that so important?  Or if a man is truly wonderful otherwise, but his income is lower than you had hoped.  Weigh factors realistically, and realize that you are being evaluated, too.  Is it reasonable for people to get hung up in that old joke:  I met Mr. Right, but it didn't work out; he was looking for Miss Right.

Ask your friends if they know of someone who is single. You need to be out in order to meet someone,but it doesn't mean the bar scene. Music in the park? (if you have them where you live) Social events.Good luck.

You don't have to love anyone, or be in a relationship. There's no point hooking up with someone just because you're single. Be choosy, I am and I'm much happier than the people I know who bounce from guy to guy. Be your own person, you don't need anyone else till you see what you want.

Single dating married only results in hurting someone.  It's not right.  Please, stay away from married men even if you feel desperately lonely.  You or someone else will be hurt in the long run, and it won't be a pretty sight.\n\nYou shouldn't "scare men" by the way you look or the way you carry yourself.  Whoever told you that was wrong.  Not everyone is to marry.  Some are to stay single.  The gift of being single is a great one!  Marriage isn't for everyone.  If you are single, don't worry about trying to find a mate for any reason.  It's not a big deal.  Besides, if you are destined to be married, you won't find him by looking.

Do something that you've always wanted to do but couldn't do when you were married, this will certainly make you look on the bright side of being single with no commitments.  As for trusting guys, there are plenty of good ones out there, unfortunately the good guys don't always meet the good girls first time round.

Think about what you have to gain and what you have to lose. \n1) You gain a degree, a good job and good pay if you concentrate on your studies. That will help you to meet a nice man/woman who also may have a degree and a good job and good pay \n2) That is much better than failing uni becoming a bum and meeting a man/woman who is also a bum. \nYou have to become a quality person before you can meet a quality person. Do you see what I mean?\nLie is simple; You get what you give.

Be yourself. Go places you enjoy. Chances are you'll meet someone you like. Don't be shy (at least too shy).\n\nI know one place you may not find your b/f...in chat rooms.\n\nGet out and be active.\n\n= )

That's really difficult.  It's not good to be alone, and there's nothing pathetic about that.  It's hard to meet quality people. Loneliness is very tough -- it's true for everyone.  Just people don't like to admit it.  And the best people can end up single for a long time.  If you are over 18, I suggest you explore online dating.  It really has lost all its stigma.  Many "non-loser" people use online dating as a way to meet matches that share their interests, faith, goals, etc.  This is better than what you'll get limiting yourself to people at work or trying to pick someone up in a bar.  Don't be scared to try online dating -- just make the first date very casual, and in a public space.  Also, have a friend call you 30 minutes into the date so that you can claim an emergency if you know right off the bat that this person is too creepy for you or just not a good fit.

Stop looking and start enjoying your life as a single lady.  As soon as you start enjoying your own company, you'll become more enjoyable to someone else.
