Getting So Discouraged and Frustrated

I guess i'm just here to vent and see if anyone else is feeling the same way I am or has ever felt this way. I just turned 30 years old and basically my situation is that all of my friends have someone and arent into the whole "going out" scene anymore. Also, none of them know anyone to try and introduce me to. Eveyone is always saying "you're such a great person and you're so pretty, how come you're single?" well, the answer is I DONT KNOW! I know it's hard with my limited way of meeting people (i'm kind of limited to online dating because of my situation) but i'm having no luck with this avenue either. And the even more disheartening thing is EVERY ONE of my friends has someone. Even the guys. I'm the only single one. I've been single for a year now (some of that by choice) but now i'm ready to meet someone to be with and it just seems I have absolutely no luck in this department and i'm getting so discouraged and frustrated now, sometimes I just want to cry. And I kind of feel like i'm getting older and time is sort of running out you know? I mean, I know 30 is not old, but you know what I mean. So basically i'm stuck with online dating, i've tried every way on here pretty much, and had no luck. I dont know what to do anymore. I almost feel like i'm never going to meet anyone. Have any of you felt like this ever?? What do you do? Does anyone have any suggestions or words that might shed a different light on this?
Thanks

What is your "situation" that limits you to online dating? Not that it's a bad route to take but it should be one of several avenues you use, IMO.
Once you've clarified I'll respond further.
And yes, I've felt that way since I was about 39...when my last LTR ended. Now I'm 48. I've had a number of short-term relationships but haven't found someone who is right for me for the long run yet. It is frustrating, at any age.

I'm in the same boat as you.
