Maybe you should move into a house with friends or people who are around more. Try student accomodation or summit. Don't get into a relationship just for the sake of it - that's never good. And if you do get into a relationship, don't be clingy, or it won't last very long...

What do you like doing when your not in college? Hobby wise?

Quite simply, don't rely on people who aren't at home for company. Make friends or do something else. Even come on to boards and throw up a few posts before people in the house come back. If your looking for a wo/man, go out with a few people from college and try your luck!

if you're feeling lonely, dont go spending hours on boards.ie like the poster above said. don't become an internet hermit. Join a club! I joined the volleyball club at my university at the start of this term and ive never looked back. And if the club holds a party, go to it! Most people in clubs are in the same position as you, and you'll be talking to them in no time.

Yeah just get out their doing hobbies and having nights out on the town. You'll have plenty of time for sitting in with your OH when you get older trust me!

Hi Lou,

If you are feeling lonely, get a hobby or 2, volunteer in various organisations, If you are interested in any charities then volunteer there.

Do you like any sports? Join a club.

There are many things to do to take up your time. A boyfriend is not actually necessary however. if you actually want one then find one.

Stop yourself getting lonely by not spending too much time alone, I am sure you could find something to occupy yourself.

Hope it helps.

Go on a free dating website. there are a lot more guys on there than girls, so you will definitely be able to find someone

College societys are really really really really really really good for getting to know people. Like...REALL good. Join one, it doesn't even really matter if you're not hugely into whatever they do.

No - this is not the attitude to have. Do not get into a relationship for the sake of it. If you look for someone for the sake of looking for someone, it more than likely won't work out. Relationships aren't like shopping for jam!! Make friends sure, but don't get into a relationship because you're lonely - get into it when you find the person. And usually, you don't find that person if you are actively seeking them - couples in relationships that have lasted usually just stumble across each other...

You should not get a boyfriend just for the sake of it....Maybe all you need is some male company? Do you have any nice male friends in your life that you could talk to or spend time with??

I'm guessing you just want there to be someone around when you are lonely....

Best of luck!
