dealing with lonliness

cog in the machine

like the title says, how can you deal or do something about it.
this is my situation, 34, single with over a year, have my own home, no bills, working on and off.
i am finding it hard to meet new people out their. most my friends are married, have children, living abroad and so on.
i come from a small village, the pubs are getting more empty, some have closed and so on.
its like all i see is a long road ahead of me with nothing to my destination.
i am finding it hard to keep my head above water at times. my life has totally changed lately, gone from going out alot, keeping active with friends and that.
the thing is some of my friends think i have a great life, they seem to look at mine as a care free life or something.
i dont know what to do or where to turn.
how do you cope?

i think a lot of people are probably in the same kind of situation that you are in.. i guess you have to think about getting involved in new activities - maybe boxercise, zumba dancing, book club, library, swimming - whatever.. just get out there. be honest with your friends - tell them how you are feeling.. just go for it.. don't over think it. just get out there.. this is your life, enjoy it as much as you can.. good luck..

You are stuck in a rut.

As above, try and get out and live life.

Plentyoffish.com or meetup.com could be good places to start.

Good luck
