Vincent Valintine It could be worse, you could be 22, and going through a nasty divorce. Looking back, I wish I'd stayed single. Ooh, ouch. I'm sorry to hear you got hurt so early. You should be having fun, dating around, meeting different types of girls and working on figuring out who you want to be and who you want to be with. I wish you the best and I'm a firm believer that "forever" love is out there and sometimes it needs a second chance.

Eh, I was with the same girl for 3 years, then I got my career with the government started. She just didn't understand that when I said I would be stuck in this area for the next 30 years or so, that I meant it. Anyway, I'm moving on, but I will say I'm done with younger girls..they just want to play games.

Most people your age are still wanting to play, which is fine I guess, I was never into the game, it always seemed silly and pointless to me, but then again I've always known what type of relationships I wanted. At your age you might not get a second chance to find your "forever" for a few more years, mostly because you'll have to wait for your peers to grow-up a bit and get to the same place you seem to already be at. My suggestion, just date around, try to keep things simple and uncomplicated for as long as possible and try to have fun and of course be safe.

Don't be ashamed of the way you live. It's hard, but eventually things will look up.
I'm 22 years old and most of my friends are already done with college and are either attending more classes and getting their dream jobs. Meanwhile, I'm stuck in retail and feeling hopeless because I know I probably won't be going back to school until I'm probably well in my thirties. I know how you feel.

I feel like we're in about the same bout.
I'm 29 and i live with my parents and my grandmother who has Alzheimer's. I dont have a job at the moment and i'm not in school and dont plan on going back to school. I'm sick of doing retail jobs which is pretty much all i can get. i've been single for quite some time and havent gone on a date for over a year.
I'm alright though and have a roof over my head without rent. My parents dont hate me but it's hard to live with them at times since i'm already an adult. I try to look at things in a positive way and i havent been complaining to anybody lately.
The lonelyness does get to me though at times but it helps that i'm surrounded by wonderful friends and family.
Just hang in there and stick through school! ^_^

Elspeth Telrunya *sniffs are you a kiwi *perks up I am smile also I am single, 27, living with parents, have degree but no real job yet just walmart.
I’m not no sorry I pick the Zealand part of the name from a naming website it means land of sea or something and I wanted something to go with Aquarius the New Zealand thing it click until later ( sorry).
But on topic it’s nice to see people trying to help someone out even it’s though words on a website. I wish everyone going though a hard time the best of luck and I hope you remember there are people that will at least help and offer a shoulder and an ear if it’s needed.
Also to those that are worried about still living with parents, my mum was 32 when she moved out of her house and that was only because she got married but they ( Mum, Dad and Nan) moved into a house together 6 years later so really don’t worry about it.

I'm sorry about the stressful situations that some of you are in. And...I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm 27, on my own for the moment, but can't seem to find a job. I'm finishing up a degree and am facing student loan payments. EEK! sad
I hope I don't have to move back in with Mom and Dad. I love them, but there are no jobs where they live.
And to anyone living with parents, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Life is hard.

well, i got the single part down! i'm 30, have a great job... thanks to food network, there are still plenty of jobs in the foodservice industry.
out on my own. way... way out. wish i were closer to the family, but i'm a sucker for a pretty face and ended up in the south. of course it didn't work. i could move back up north, but just landed a new job that should pan out nicely for me. so i suppose i'll stick it out down here alone for awhile and work work work.
keep going, tough out the hard times, and enjoy the good.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. It's no fun to be single especially while you're in college. ;-;

Aurora Avalon My life basically sucks I have no job and I am in college. I live with my grandmother in her home town. There are not many jobs where I live and no decent guys either that not already taken. ~sighs~ I don't want to be around hunters, fishers, or anything think that dinner has to be shot and killed. Sounds to me like you are doing very well for yourself. I myself have been going to college for the last year and was unable to find a job so I understand. However, you should feel good about yourself that you are going to college. WHen you graduate you will be able to get a great job making money, which will in turn help you meet more successful people (i.e successful men). Good luck to you. biggrin This is the first time I have come into this guild. I joined right away. blaugh

And to anyone living with parents, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Life is hard. Exactly. Nothing wrong with moving back home if it is to better your situation. I feel you on the student loan payments. I am paying mine back now. Doh! I guess the ones my school had me sign up for are not deferred. So I am FINALLY working (part time ) to pay for the loans while trying to go to school part time now (as I can afford it or as the government will allow me money for).

This is a really big boat. Must be an ocean liner. lol But in our 20s (is 25) I think we aren't supposed to be completely settled in what we are doing with our lives. I'd rather figure it out by trial and error now...than be 50-60 doing the same thing.
Anyway...my situation sounds like quite a few I have heard...with a few minor twists. I was staying at home with my dad just out of college with a bachelors in a podunk town unable to find a job. I had one and lost it within 6 months of graduation. It took me a year to find another and I am stuck in retail. I HATE it. Not to mention my former bf broke up with me 3 days before the interview for said job. I had to move in with my uncle to go to work since his place is closer. He can be a right jerk sometimes when compared to my easygoing dad. I have yet to touch a student loan payment and I must say they are mad at me. But my supposed fulltime job just cut me back to part time to avoid paying me benefits. lol
But I try not to be too negative about all of this. While I was out of work for that year, I felt like I had nothing. Like all of my peers were leaving me behind. I don't have any kids and at the time all I had was my relationship and a degree that I didn't even get to march for and that seemed to not help with getting a job at all...or at least that was how I felt. But things only really started to change and get better when I realized that the only constant and certain thing in this world was change. I was going to lose a job...lose a relationship. I was going to move around in and out of good and bad neighborhoods...with and without family. I was going to have money one minute and not have it the next. I was going to lose old friends and make new ones. That was just the way it was. When I stopped focusing on what I didn't have and take a close look at what I did have and was greatful for it...and started working with it...things got better. I am a christian (or at least I try to be) and I realized I had to be stripped of the old to be blessed with the new. Now I have a fresh...albeit rocky start. But I am certain that things will change...hopefully for the better. But I still complain about things that go wrong. lol Just my human nature coming out again. :p
