How do others find happiness when they’re single and feel lonely? I’m in my early 30’s and have a primary school aged child 100% of the time. Im fine with my own company but I miss the company of having a partner or someone to love and share my life with. I work full time and don’t get any time to myself, it’s almost impossible. My life revolves around my child, as it should but I just don’t know how to get out of the hole of feeling alone and wanting someone in my life. I’ve gone on dating sites and find no one appears to be genuine in their conversations and everyone is just seeking someone to sleep with. I feel as though I’ll never meet anyone. I live in a very small town and have been single for 9 years. People say to me I don’t understand how you’re single you’re a catch, I know they’re trying to help but it makes me feel worse as I start thinking well what is wrong with me then?! I just want to feel happy and not lonely.

Dating sites. I had to wade through a heap of frogs before I found my partner of 4+ years. Never would I have thought I would find him on a dating site. Let alone POF. Remember not all dating sites are created equal e.g. eharmony versus Tinder. Honestly, I could have posted this myself over 5 years ago. I still thought I should meet a decent man at a pub lol. It takes time but is so worth it.
