I just got home from hanging out with a friend. I sat down on my couch and just suddenly felt so lonely.
I hate being single sometimes. Well, most of the time. I miss coming home to someone. If I had a bigger apartment I'd get a dog.
But really, what I want is a good man. Ah, the single life. I think I'll watch a movie in bed and fall asleep feeling unfufilled. So how do YOU usually cope with these feelings of loneliness?

I've been single for 5 months now and I just HATE IT. I have 3 kids at home, DD 10, DS 4 & DD 17 months, so I'm never alone. Although I am very lonely as far as having an adult relationship. I hate not having anyone (a husband) to come home to. I'm so envious of married women and I get depressed seeing happy families out and about. I'm only 30 and I know that *hopefully* someday my prince will come. Until then I am impatiently waiting.

Hugs & Good Luck to you! M

I actually crave my alone time after being around children all day who are extremely needy.

You know, I used to get lonely a whole lot more but now I don't get lonely nearly as often now that I've been on my own for a few months. The times that I get lonely most are the times that I have some really difficult/frustrating days and situations and I don't have someone to come home to comfort me. Lately I've been enjoying being single for the most part. It probably does help having other single girlfriends and really cool people to hang out with in general. It's not always a walk in the park being single and there are definately sad moments but sometimes I really enjoy being able to do whatever I want when I want.

I have to agree with the previous posters. There are times when I wish I had someone to share a specific event with, but all in all, enjoying my own activites helps me overcome the loneliness. I also don't think of dating as a potential way to get a man, it's simply a way to pass the evening. If it goes farther than that, great, but I don't go into it with that expectation. Not looking for a relationship helps me enjoy what I have. I'm also enjoying myself a lot more right now than I ever have.
