Everyone's got one but you

[fborelli]

So my best friends have girlfriends. Even the guy I hate has a girlfriend. Basically everyone has someone to talk to/be with except for me. Since we all hang out together we see each other all the time.

What am I supposed to do? When it gets to that time at night everyone has that person to lean on except for me. What am I supposed to do? I don't want to leave my friends but I feel its the only way I'll feel any better, other than music which is what I'm drowning myself in now

I mean the other girlfriends are nice, but when it gets to that time of night they want to be with their guys. I don't want to be the afterthought....

[Heroin Robot]

sounds like you need a girlfriend

[incorrigiblean]

I'm in the same situation as you at the moment :P As such, I always end up bringing a notebook along with me- I write lists of things that I need to do, journal entries, songs that I absolutely must download... etc. Or read books! (I tend to end up doing homework).

but yeah. bring along a friend that isnt in a relationship? make new friends!

[Sventhegreat]

Branch out man. It really isn't that hard. Especially in high school.

[rosielikesyou]

Meet more people, branch out, make more friends.

Or insist that your bromances must take precedence. Either or.

I was gonna tell you to lighten up it's just high school. Then I saw your age.

I'm in the same situation (though most people I know don't have girlfriends either). The point is, it's really hard.

[bstthngunvrhd7]

I understand completey...one of my friend's recently connected with a guy that she was friends with back in college and they hung out over Thanksgiving when he came back into town to visit his family and sparks flew and now they are together but he had to go back to where he lives but that's all she f---ing talks about now and then he's coming back into town for Christmas/New Years so every day it gets closer that's all she talks about.

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out where I stand with a guy I've been hanging out with for about three months...I mean I told him I like him and all and he didn't freak out or anything so that's good and he still wants to hang out with me but he's not looking for a relationship now because he's got a lot he has to sort through he said (and he does have a lot on his plate and I knew this before telling him I like him) before he could be in a relationship and make someone else happy. However, his dad is going out of town for two weeks and he gets full run of the house and there are going to be parties... =) and hopefully I will get invited over for some alone time....

I don't really know what to tell you except to maybe try hanging out with other people.

Edit: I just noticed that you go to VT. If you don't mind my asking, how do you like it there? I am considering going there next year for engineering, but I don't know yet.

Second, also try the bad ass attitude. Since I got kicked out of college twice getting girls been getting easy.

i'll second your post as well. chicks dig slightly arrogant bad boys, but there has to be some redeeming quality about you once they get through that part.

Or boys who have no future, drink themselves to death and have been wearing the same sweatpants for 5 days because I'm to lazy to change out of these.

Wow didn't think guys cared that much about not having a girlfriend. But i'm sure it's b/c they're not getting any.

Meet some new people or find something else to do. I mean, if leaving makes you feel better, you can continue that.
I had that problem in highs school, so I just avoided times when I'd be the extra wheel. I usually tried to find another single friend to drag along. Though the weird thing is, I know more single people now than I did before, so it hasn't been a problem in a year or so.

Make more friends. Seriously, if friend from group X is attached at the hip to their significant other, more friends, so you just go down the list and call someone else. It also means if you go out to the bars, the only option they have is to play your wingman. I'm speaking from experience here, as a bunch of us will probably be hitting the bars tonight, and I'm the only single one-- so there are two of them who have declared themselves wingwomen.

Caught my attention too. Age: 20, Location: Virginia Tech. Clearly he is in high school.

believe it or not, thats not how every guy thinks

also,

get more friends, start hanging out with new people, leave your friends early before the end of the night, any of these should make u feel a lil better

You apparently haven't seen Green Street Hooligans.

[wroteurname]

Sometimes I get bummed about not having a girlfriend, but anytime I start seeing a girl semi-exclusively I'm like "oh, there's a reason I don't have a girlfriend, they suck." I can see how not having one when all your friends do would suck though.

[ArtForLovers]

I would say I am on the opposite side. I have a boyfriend of over 3 and a half years and none of my friends have boyfriends..none. So when he is visiting, it is always awkward around my friends. Even after this long. Maybe you should date one of my friends.

[nonamesleft]

Get a girlfriend.

[knorr45]

I've been going through the same thing basically this whole year. During the summer I started hanging out with some old friends that I hadn't for a long time and things got better. I still see my friends who have gf's but not as much. Honestly, I feel a hell of a lot better.

no

[idefyYoustars]

hey, i go to virginia tech, too. i kind of know what you're talking about, most of my good friends have boyfriends, and at the end of the day, my friends want to be with them, while i'm kicked to the curb. but at the same time, it's not worth settling for someone just so you don't have to be alone at night. i mean, how often in your life are you going to live in a town that has 12000 girls your age? there are so many amazing girls here at tech, and it would be a shame if you just settled for someone just so you didnt have to be alone. theres a lot of fun to be had here, so live it up, and forget about being single. enjoy it. and when you least expect it...someone will come along.
good luck with finals, and maybe ill run into you around the burg sometime

That was me before I got a boyfriend. It's something that sucks but you just have to deal with it. I mean, your friends should still be able to make that time for you where it's not about being with girlfriends or talking about them?

Reasons it's good to be single:
1. You don't have to worry about anyone cheating on you.
2. You don't have to worry about being questioned about everything you do.
3. No fighting!
4. Being able to do what you like all the time.

You get the point..

Just because someone has someone else does not mean they are happy. Also, you should not base your happiness off of whether you have a girlfriend or not. Go out and meet more people. Tell your guy friends there should be a guy night. No reason to be completely attached to a significant other like that, it's not healthy.

Just keep socializing and focus on having fun, you'll be more likely to meet someone that way.

And enjoy not having a girlfriend while you don't, you'll realize how much you can get done.

Would appreciate another girlfriend, since my last one seems to have snapped after we broke up and is way into Burlesque.

Sorry for the late reply, but VT is gorgeous. It's got a close community feeling for having 25k people that go here. As for the engineering, it's really good here but prepare to do work. Don't worry there will be a light at the end of the tunnel

I visited the campus over the summer and it looked amazing and everyone seemed really friendly. The one thing I am kind of nervous about is the fact that there is not a lot around it. And I have heard getting scholarship is hard for an out of state student that isn't going to do the ROTC thing.

[Cheesus]

It really can suck, especially if you're in that situation. Use this time to better yourself. Workout, learn something new, take up a hobby. Then, hopefully someone will notice you and you might not be alone anymore. But until then, it just sucks and we gotta live with it.

[po0ty]

As long as you are working each day to better yourself you are bound to meet someone you really like eventually.
