    Not had a girlfriend for 3 years!
    Right I'm a 25 year old guy amd I've not had any form of girlfriend for 2 years! Ive had relationships pretty much all the time since I was 15 to 23 but now I can seem to get anywhere, I have a great job, my own place nice cars etc. Ive met plenty of girls over the last few years through friend but I end up just being ''friends'' with them, I'm starting to feel really down all the time now and this is the only reason everything else is great but this one thing makes everything feel terrible :( anyone have any advice that would help me?

    Thanks

    Perhaps the right one has just not come along. Just enjoy the process.

    You're really young to be worrying about a steady girl.

    Don't take dating so seriously. Just relax... you'll find someone when you least expect it.

    Don't base your happiness on another person. Be happy for what you have and how far you have come. So what if its been 2 years. Its better to take your time then settle and be unhappy. When you find her you will know she is the one and be thankful you were free to catch you. Its not so much the quantity of the girls it's the quality. Would you feel better saying you had a girl every month for 2 years and haven't found a steady one yet? Most likely not.

    Thanks folks, I think some of the reasoning behind my thoughts is that my previous girlfriend and I lived together for 3 years in out own house so I was so used to being with someone and now I'm alone all the time I really miss having someone to talk to about thinks and you know the feeling you get when you have some one that cares about you, most of my friend are all in long term relationships so I'm guessing I just feel left out, most of my friends that I socialise with are 3-4 years younger than me because of this and I just feel very strange about it all, I really do wish I didn't care about it so much but I do

    If you have the intention of meeting your significant other every time you meet someone, then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It happens naturally, without you forcing the issue.

    The best thing that you can do is continue to meet new people, let the conversation flow and see where it leads. But if at the back of your mind you're analyzing whether this new person has the potential to be your next girlfriend, then you're putting too much pressure on the conversation.
