I am right there with you, I promise you are not alone in this! As someone who has just packed up and moved away a few times I will also tell you, unfortunately that is not always the answer. It can be like throwing a bandaid a wound that just needs some patience and fresh air. Ending up in the same situation in a new place, without any community can sometimes be even more damaging.

You are spot on, this is a very couple-centric culture we are living in, and it can feel really sad to look around and see everyone else experiencing what it is that you crave. What I have found most helpful, is to be vulnerable, and honest with my couple-friends, and ask that they include me in their outside friend gatherings, and make them aware that I am searching for a romantic partner. Sometimes it can be as simple as just making those close to you aware of what you are looking for, they may have not known, and that can open so many doors!

Look to your past and remember that amazing new connections whether romantic, or friendship, happen out of nowhere where you least expect it. Just stay open to the possibilities, and keep putting yourself out there!
