Feeling Lonely and Desperate for Love

Kaiiyla

I’ve been so lonely and touch starved and have wanted a romantic partner more than ever right now for some reason. I’ve been told I need to be patient, the right person will come, but I don’t want to sit around anymore waiting for that day id do ANYTHING to find someone to connect with and be close with🥲I was looking into apps(yes, ik it’s dumb, but as I’ve said I’ve been quite desperate ) and I’m not sure if there’s any better options or if finding someone online could be ok too? If anyone has any suggestions or advice regarding this I’d be more than grateful. I just have really needed some hope in the world and to feel less alone and I wanna prove that someone like me can be loved and in a healthy relationship

      Would rather have one good one then a bunch of bad ones. I was desperate a year ago and I got into a very toxic relationship. I'm at the point now where I'm ok with whatever happens happens. No since in trying to force

      I 100% relate to this. I'm an extrovert, I'm 32, I live with my Mom. I feel so lonely sometimes, especially on the weekends. All the advice I get is to practice being content and satisfied being single and independent. But the loneliness feels crippling, I think its pretty normal to crave companionship, and most of my gal friends are busy.

        @Sunshineseeker90 i so understand that omg, I get told the same honestly! It’s like…the one thing I need right now is to NOT be so independent and alone, I want to be able to feel happiness outside of myself

      To be quite frank... My current bf used to be just a friends with benefits situation that eventually turned into more.... I say give the apps a try but like Madelyn said practice safety online is greatly important

      I don't think apps are too bad. I use one sometimes and I've met a couple long term boyfriends off of one, nothing to be ashamed about. I say do what feels right and make sure to call/video chat before meeting anyone. I know the feeling of lonliness and being alone all to well and it down right fucking sucks.

        @Sydari thank you so much, I’m going to be as safe as possible because I do know what a toxic relationship feels like and I know red flags but I also know I could potentially find some good people out there. And it means a lot to be understood about this ;)
