I feel like I’ll be forever alone, on my own, and it terrifies me.If you’re looking for wedding reading inspiration (or vow inspiration) from modern and classic song lyrics, this is the list for you. I can’t seem to find anyone who I could possibly fall in love with.Īlmost all of my friends now have boyfriends, and I feel the pressure rising everyday. The problem, if it is a problem, is that I’m not into them, the idea of falling in love itself is desirable, but in the reality of things, I don’t see myself with anyone I know. The problem is not finding somebody who wants me, clearly, I’ve had them, it’s not everyone, obviously, but I’ve had guys who were interested in having a relationship with me. Weirdly enough, I’m perceived as charming, social and “the one who gets it all” in terms of career, everybody says the classic “how is it possible that you don’t have a boyfriend? Everyone must be at your feet”. I’m so glad I found your article, I have my best friend, she’s my rock, I have other friends with whom I shared almost half of my life.īasically, I have never been really interested in any guy, I went on dates, but I got bored easily, like you described. Maybe I’m scared of it because of how easy it is to be scared of the unknown, or maybe I’m too scared to trust anyone with my heart because I don’t know what it’s like for someone else to hold onto it. Love is something I think I want, but it’s also something I’m pretty sure I’m scared of. Nothing and no one are promised to us, right? Maybe due to being raised through chick flicks and romance novels, I assumed too much. It makes me wonder if everyone is destined to fall in love. Being by yourself meant no one could walk out because you don’t have anyone in your life who you have allowed to be capable of that.Īt 22 years old, I’m at a weird point in my life where my friends are either practically engaged to their partners, if not already, or they’re like me and can’t imagine what it’s like to have someone like that in their life to begin with. At least everything that happened to you would be on your own terms, for the most part. Because all it ever took to live your life was having yourself and no one else.
In fact, you most probably have a whole life full of possibility in front of you, which may be the exact reason why you can’t imagine someone else in the equation. However, not knowing what it feels like to be in love doesn’t mean that you’re lonely. And as far as you know, that’s what draws the line between love and being in love. In essence, the people who are closest to you in your life right now pretty much play the role of everything you would imagine a partner would fulfill, minus the butterflies, “sparks,” and actual romance part. They’re the only ones who have somewhat fit the mold of being your “other half.” They may not have seen you at your most vulnerable, but they may have had the opportunity at one point or another. You love your hobbies, your family, and you’re almost certain that your soulmate is something that is actually plural and could be defined as your girlfriends. You know that love and being in love are two separate entities. You can’t envision a relationship with someone that moves beyond the getting dolled up for dinner dates that mutually end with let’s just be friends.
You can’t imagine someone knowing you past all the layers you possess that make you everything you are: your wildest dreams and your deepest fears. But when asked to put yourself in their shoes, you can’t see it. You see couples and you think to yourself how nice it must be to have someone there. This is the mentality of someone who has never been in love before.
