[quote=Anonymous]You are so young.  I would put your energy into liking yourself and enjoying dating.  Maybe go see a life coach or an incredibly honest (yet kind) friend and find out if there is anything you could be doing to yourself that is making it hard for you to meet someone and keep a relationship going into marriage.  I absolutely get what the person who said "treat dating like a job" meant--but I think you have to do it in a positive way.  Enjoy yourself or else no one will enjoy being around you.  I would consider eHarmony -- even though I did not meet a lifetime match while I was on the site, I can say that every single man I met was totally marriage-oriented.  It is not Tinder.  Personally, I would not start throwing your time and energy into researching your fertility.  That is a total rabbit hole.  Enjoy life, date, have fun, re-evaluate at age 30.

I am about to become a single mother by choice (by adoption) and am ecstatic about it and think perhaps it was always "meant to be" this way for me, but I won't pretend it is the life I always dreamed of.  When I look back, I can see that there were things I did, especially when I was in my 20s, that caused relationships with some pretty awesome men to end. I wished I had done some "reality checking" with someone to help me figure myself out a bit better.  [/quote]
