Hello Natasha. I think we've all been there. Well, not all...Looking back at my twenties I remember thinking I wight be the last single person in the world. So I had lost hope of whatsoever to find "the one".. So many people go through the same period without experience that loneliness, lucky them. On the other hand, if I need to see some advantages from that period, if there's any, is that well for sure they made me stronger. Now in my thirties I've experience too many disappointments in life that I'm more prepared honestly. So many people get frustrated later in their 40's for the first time, and they have a hard time to deal with it... I also dated, a lot, even dated people I am really ashamed to admit, because they were mean and awful men. I wasn't not even deep down that I knew he, or they were mean, I knew it right away. But my lack of self love just kept on being stronger. I'm married now, and life is definitely different. However, marriage is soo far from what we think it could be. Tv has distorted so many things, love is just one among many
