Just did a quick profile snoop to see what age you were and don't panic, a lot of the same people you're watching get together now will be splitting up all around you in a few years.
I'm jealous actually. I'm a bit older so my only hope is the divorcee pool. Damaged and bitter people to look forward to. Hooray!

Love blindsides us all.
You're 20, at Uni, witty, bright and attractive. There's something wrong with this picture! Everybody was banging like rabbits when I was at Uni.
Oh, you mean, you want more than just sex? Opps, my bad.
Maybe lower your standards!
Seriously though, you're only 20, go out and have fun, don't put so much pressure on yourself, you'll meet someone sooner rather than later (if you want to settle into a relationship that is).
Single is great! Enjoy it!!! Go have some fun and you'll meet someone sooner than later.
Met my husband when I was 24 and prior to that everyone had a relationship and I was alone. Looking back now I think I could have enjoyed a few more years of fun before getting serious! Have fun, be your age, explore and enjoy this time!
MMonroe, yes being single sucks but you are young enough to take advantage of a lot of things at your age that I never did. I was involved in a relationship at your age which eventually lead to marriage. Now not that I feel that I lost time, I wish I would have slowed it down a little and made time to find out who I am and what I wanted in a woman.
12 years later I am now divorced and wish I would have spent some of my years on me and sowing my seeds. Take your time and enjoy!! PLEASE!
your still young to think that your alone and getting old being single, just enjoy every moment while your not in a relationship sometimes once your in a relationship tendency have less bonding with friend, office mates, and even family because your very much in love and wanted to be with your partner spending time if got a chance.
Be in a serious relationship is also a big step that the usual thing you did will be lessen or remove from you due to other priorities
it will find you when you least expect it to, trust
OMG girlfriend, the world is at your doorstep. Hands up to all the comments above. I tell you, life is just too damn short to be on locked down so early in life. If most of your friends are finding partners and doin couple things thats a given. Two is company three is a crowd. So do what I did, went out there and made me some new friends who were single and free to do stuff with me. Doesnt mean I lose my old friends, I still close contact with them. You can never have too many friends, you just need to be aware of who your true friends are. Anyhoo back to the topic, Ive been single for awhile now but that is my choice. And Im loving it because any decision I have to make is all mine lol I can up and go overseas, meet up with my friends, talk to my male friends ..without having to justify my actions to anyone nor asking permission or even having to make unnecessary sacrifices. So yea single sucks but I choose to look at the bigger and brighter side of it. Get to know and understand yourself first. Then see what may come lol Ok Ive blah blah blah on for long enough I'll let someone else have their say lol You take care my dear. Be happy and enjoy life to the full, you dont want to miss out of any of the fun it throws at ya. All the best for Uni. Mad crazy love e xx lol

personally i love being single! I got married at 20, thought it was what I wanted2 jobs, 2 kids, 2 payments ect...10 yrs later a divorce and i have rediscovered myself! when you are in a relationship, particularly for women, you are so wrapped up in the other person that it is easy to forget who YOU are. enjoy being single; learn who you really are. love may come and go but you have to live with yourself forever! might as well enjoy her(urself!)
I'm in the same boat with you. Being single does suck at times. I'm 21 and just got out of a 5 year relationship so I've been having to relearn how to do everything alone. And although it does blow, majorly, at times, I've found a few silver linings:
You can be home at anytime you want.
You can flirt UNMERCIFULLY lol
You can drink to great excess and not have someone getting mad that you're drunk.
You can hang out with your friends at anytime your want.
You never have to explain yourself. To anyone.
Sooooo many more partners have become availble for dancing at the club.
Causual sex is OKAY (if you're into it).
Nobody steals the covers on your bed.
Life has many more personal potential paths, rather than a joined one.
That's the list so far, and it's a work in progress. Buck up, kiddo, you'll be alright.
Ferte in noctem animam meam, Illustre stelle viam meam. Aspectu illo glorior, Dum capit nox diem. Cantate vitae canticu, Sine dolore acte, Dicite eis quos amabam, Numquam obliviscar.
Being alone .... and being lonely are two different things !
Thanks everyone for the new replies! Like everyone i still have my down moments but generally speaking im ok with how things are for now. Ive finished uni now and about to move home in a few days and although i'll be back with my parents for a while (ugh) i feel like my life is actually starting now so who knows whats gonna happen!
