Natalie,
I recently turned 30. My early twenties were spent hanging with friends, and of course, my fair share of jerks. I too, felt lonely. ESPECIALLY amongst my girlfriends who all had a steady boyfriend, and started getting engaged,, etc...
At 24, I met my now future husband....we dated for 5 years before we got engaged.
ENJOY THIS TIME!!!!
I adore my future hubby but there are still times when I miss my single days, and can't believe I wished them away!!! You will find the right man! Keep your chin up. And never be with someone that you cannot be "you" around. I unfortunately have seen this with some friends. ( And some are now divorced)! They are silly & goofy but around their husbands/wives completely different! In other words, nervous & boring. Who needs that?! It sounds silly but what I love MOST about my hubby is that he makes me LAUGH more than anybody I've ever known, and I can say ANYTHING to him without him thinking I'm nuts

Do we fight? Sure! But the good outweighs the bad. NEVER sell yourself short
