Hmm.. Don't really know how I'm feeling at the moment. Looking on Facebook now, I can see:
- friends posting photos of their babies
- updates and photos from an ex about his his new house purchase with his girlfriend
- photos of friends and their engagement rings
- photos of weddings
- check ins of friends and their other halves when they're out and about
Knew I shouldn't have re-activated my account...
I'm not jealous of my friends, but maybe a bit envious. I'm not desperate, I don't feel lonely, I don't feel sad. However, I do feel a little lost. Like I'm plodding along in life and will quite possibly end up growing old alone.
I've been single for 5 and a half years now. I don't really get the chance to meet anyone new because I hardly go out these days (friends are all busy). I've tried the whole online dating thing but I gave up on it. I don't have to be single but I choose to - because I refuse to be with someone who I'm not 100% happy with just so I won't be alone. I'm too picky. Too confident. Too proud. Too independent.
It feels wrong for me to 'lower' my standards and just get with a not-so-perfect guy just for the sake of not being single. It would be unfair on the other person and will most definitely not be true happiness.
What to do.
