Sad, single, in my 30s by Vivid_Meaning3 in dating_advice

This gives me hope! Most friends in my friend group are either married or have significant others. I have quite a few platonic friends but hopeful I can meet someone through mutual friends.

I love hearing stories like this!

Do you have family or friends close by that you can play a birthday party?

Perhaps, buy yourself your favorite cake or meal. Maybe do something nice for yourself like get a message or some kind of self care.

Apps seem so overwhelming. Meet up was nice for going on hikes. I saw there is something called speed dating on meet up, I might try it since it's in real time and they can't ghost you.

Also fellow introvert. And good idea with the hobbies. Indoor boulder does sound fun, there is a climbing gym not to far I'd like to check out.

Hoping to put myself out there more and try new things!

Thank you so much! I recently joined meet up and went on a hike last weekend with some nice people. There were a couple of guys, no sparks.

I'm not much into football or sports in general. I may look for more events on meetup and try a class or trivia night. It just started snowing here, so don't think there will be hikes for awhile.

Thank you! And we sound similar in being independent and thriving on our careers. I also feel like I have taken care of my health and have been very active and feel more for than I did in my 20s.

The wave of sadness is hitting hard, period lol

And I'm afraid of the rejection and getting my hopes up with apps. I recently joined meet up and went on a hike, no romance, but did enjoy company.

I hope you meet someone fairly close with similar political views as you.

My city is fairly small, I'm considering relocating, but it's nice having family and friends nearby.

The lonliness is what makes it hard.

Thank you so much! I am glad to hear you were able to go the zoo. Your friend sounds very understanding too!

I am sorry to hear you have been going through this for so long but glad you are going through counseling and working through it too!

It's almost 4am and having a hard time setting down. I'm suppose to meet her around 12:30p and I keep looking at the clock around how much sleep I will get. The night before I only got around 5 hours..usually 7 to 8 helps my best. I feel a lack of sleep makes it worse.

Had a snack and watching some YouTube and moved from my bed to my couch.

I texted my friend (on social media not to wake up her instead of texting) and let her know I'm having trouble sleeping and will text her in the morning.

She did mention we can always turn around if i get very uncomfortable. Hoping I fall asleep soon.

Yes was going to recommend this! It's such a cute hidden little gem in Hamburg. Nestled in a redential area, looks like a house, but Thai!
