| I’m sorry for what you are going through. You should not worry about finding the right person, the day will come when you discover that special person. I think that this is a precious time to cultivate friendship. That is a good beginning and then you will see. Try to enjoy at least time with your friends and family while you are still single. Marriage is not something you want to immediately get into, it is better to take the time to know the right person when you do meet even if you get married into your thirties. We live in a time when many people do not believe in marriage but let me tell you that it is possible to be married and make happy your husband, and vice versa. Love is not a feeling, but is a commitment, is a decision and included sacrifice for the other. I experienced a similar situation as yours, I had to wait for long time to meet my husband. But I used all that time to know myself, improve my weaknesses and strengthen my skill and abilities. I encourage to think all the things that you can do for being a better version of yourself. Please let me tell that you are not alone. Have you thought of online encounters, speed-dating (if there are any in your local area or if there young adult groups in local churches for example), you can involve in groups that you know you can meet other people. Do you have a faith or believe system to help guide you through this? I do not know whether if you believe in God but I will keep you in my prayers, my friend |

| Oh, OP, you have plenty of time. In a way I felt the same way at that age. So at 26 I quit my job, put everything in storage, and spent 2 years traveling around the world (finding jobs to teach English as a foreign language here and there). |
