She's 22 and has never had a boyfriend. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal but it lead her to have a really bad outlook on life. She's pretty, in shape, occasionally sweet and a virgin but feels like she'll never get the opportunity to be a wife because men won't commit to her. Now she started going to bars and wants to start hooking up with guys and having casual sex. She said she sees herself being alone forever and living with a bunch of animals and only having female friends.
It hurts because I know she always wanted to be in a relationship but her past experiences kind of soured that. Now she's going down a path I think a lot of us recognize. It's just sad. Relations are so broken between the sexes now.
Oh my goodness. She’s young. I have 4 children, 3 of whom are boys 18, 21, and 22. None of them have had a girlfriend yet. And yes, believe it or not they are perfectly normal, attractive, smart, young men. They just aren’t interested in complicateing their lives with a relationship right now (they watched their older sister and said no thanks lol) and aren’t into the idea of casual hook ups. Please tell your friend to slow it down. It is far from over
What should I tell her? I kind of struggle because she feels very rejected.
