Please don't give up-even people in their 90s find love again.
I usually suggest to look at your crafts and hobbies to get involved with and meet others with the same interests

Yes. I'm a hopeless romantic too. So why can't I find love? I'll be okay. I'm feeling better today. You'll be okay too.

I'm sorry for what you're going through. I don't know the answer to your question except to take it one day at a time. Focus on the present, take care of yourself, and try not to worry too much about the future. Take whatever joy you can, however you can. I honestly believe that the happier and more fulfilled you are WITHOUT a partner, the more likely you are to attract a good partner.

One of the cruel jokes about loneliness is the lonelier and needier we get, the more desperately we need to be with people, the more other people seem to be repelled. So we have to do our best to feel happy living alone, be content with what we have, and only then can we find good healthy relationships.

Don't lose faith. Nobody knows what the future holds.

I just want to add, one of my favorite quotes:

The mind that is anxious about future events is miserable.

Seneca

Sweety you are only 27 and have your whole life ahead of you to find the right one. And the right one is out there for you. The worst relationships are usually the ones that are found in a haste, just tired of being alone, and not really knowing the person that well. Trust someone with experience and who has been hurt more than their share. I know you are going to find the right person for you, and when it happens, you will know. Hugs GB

hugs to ya...in time you will know what you like about you and become your own best friend...do not rush out to have that relationship because as gramy said those are the worst kind and I know my wife was one of those now my ex wife...

I have been trying since high school. They will not call me back. I am 42.

You are all absolutely right, thanks so much for taking the time to extend your support. I love your quote @EvaSophia & I have an old soul @gramybear LOL
*Bear hugs to all of you*

I can completely relate to your title of your post" the unbearable lightness of being". But at least you don't think of suicide like me. I really wish i had a more positive outlook about loneliness but I don't. But your post cheered me up that someone else is lonely too. Take heart.

You are pretty young, so I certainly wouldn't give up! Try finding and following your interest, preferably something where you will have a chance of meeting guys with the same interest. I know CA isn't too hot a place to meet men. At least not in my experience. But I'm much older than you. So keep on keeping on, you have reason to be positive. You're 27! lol You are a good age to meet someone, old enough to have an idea of who you are, young enough to merge without too much difficulty. ;) good luck.

I feel you. It eats away at my soul, this longing for love and companionship. It's my major fault line, so to speak, where my feelings are sometimes quietly rumbling, and other times shaking me all up inside. But I try to assume the best rather than prepare for the worst. Either I find someone or I grow into wholeness somehow on my own. Maybe when the latter happens the former will come into place!

Lol thanks Kitty. I came across this quote today that said, "the thing that screws us up most in life, is the idea in our heads of how it's supposed to be."
THAT'S ME especially when it comes to my love life! lol but i recognize it and am working on it, but it is difficult to change a pattern of thinking you've had for so long...i blame Disney movies!

Very true @Rruussnn! You can't love someone or maintain a healthy relationship until you love yourself anyway, so I guess if you put all of your focus into that (learning to love yourself unconditionally) and if you happen to not find someone in the end...at least you're left with this amazing person staring back at you in the mirror. #Corny But TRUE.

tired of being so lonely like there is no one out there for me

I can never get beyond First Base with a Woman. It's mainly fear of rejection.
