I think it's always pushed that you have to date when you're young, that's the norm. I've only ever been on one date, it was my freshman year of university, and since then I've not had any others. Sometimes I get really scared. I wonder if 21 years is too long to be single, if it means that something is strange about me, if it means I'm undesirable.
I want to know what it'll feel like to be the person that makes someone smile as they think about you before falling asleep, to be the person someone reaches out to when something good happens to them and they want you to know how happy they are, or when something bad happens and they need you to comfort them while their sad. I want someone to hold my hand, to laugh at nothing with, to text me good morning and good night, to hold me close when it's cold and maybe even when it's hot. I want so desperately to be wanted, to know that I'm wanted.
I don't just want a boyfriend, I want to be in love. For that, I guess I can wait.
I believe it! I don't want to say "you'll find someone" because it implies too much about finding "the one". I think you'll definitely experience it though. Maybe you'll be feeling yourself one day, see someone you like and spark up a conversation. Or like how it's happened to most of my coupled friends around me, it'll hit you like a truck out of nowhere. What you're feeling isn't unnatural. The concept of being in love is so special too, it's hard to find and maintain and grow. It doesn't mean anything about you as a person, it's just hard to find it in general. Keep living your life as it is and something is bound to pop up out of nowhere!
