Hi Everyone,
Last night my sister called and told me that her boyfriend of only a year proposed to her and they got engaged. Now don't get me wrong I'm happy for her, them, and all that but I can't help feeling pretty depressed, sad, and upset as well because here I am the oldest sister and recently broken up with my boyfriend of over 2 years.
I can't seem to find my ideal guy like she so easily did! He approached her while waiting in line at a cafe and it was happily ever after for them from there. Whereas, I have never been approached in public places by anyone remotely attractive and I struggle to even find any descent guy online at match sites. I always thought (being older) that I would be the first to get engaged, to marry, etc.
Now, I feeling left behind, sad and depressed today because I'm doubting I'll ever find the right guy for me. No real question here just needed some comfort, understanding, and maybe some suggestion on how to find good descent guys who have it together. Why is that so hard to find?
Thanks for listening.

I completely u/s how you feel. Years ago my sister got engaged and I loved her b/f. We were real close and I was so glad for them. Well the summer before the wedding my mom, sister, myself and a few of her friends went to a bridal show. Everything was gorgeous and like I said before I was so happy for her....BUT....I had just been dumped by my b/f of 2 yrs and I thought life was over. walking thru the show I could feel my eyes welling up and my lip quivering. Yup I busted into tears right there. I felt like an idot but I couldn't control it! It just brought all my feeling back.
Just do your best to be happy for her and you'll get past this.
My sister has now been married for 10 yrs and I'm still single (granted she's older but only by 2 yrs). I can't seem to find the right guy and the ones I think are right end up dumping me. Right now, I'm back at square one after 5 1/2 yrs and it really truely sucks.
