  • and its not easy because i can't find a girlfriend at college as they are between 16-19 there i am one of the oldest their and university will probably be as difficult. I just want somebody to love me and i don't know where to find her. I want to be able to drive, have a job, finish uni and find somebody that loves me

    You need to learn to be happy in yourself before you even start to consider a relationship.

    Why not have an early night, and then start early in the morning with the job searching.

    Your future is what you and only you make it, you have to put the effort in.
  • But how do i put effort into finding a girlfriend. I can't just go up to a girl right now and say hi babe nice weather ain't it.

    And I am happy JCS1 I just want to be even happier and find someone who loves me, i want to be the person getting married, I want to be the person who wants to watch a movie or tv show with me, I want to be the person who wants to sleep next to me

    You're not truly happy because you want more than you have at the moment.

    You need to take things one step at a time. Start job hunting, once you have money coming in, look at driving lessons.

    Relationships come with their own problems, it's not all happy.

    Sadly the happy ever after ending is in fairytales, it doesn't exist in real life.
  • so how come my stepbrother is getting married then, how come they have a flat together? How come my stepsister had been on holiday with her boyfriend

    But you are at College.

    You are controlling your temper and doing well.

    You have a place at university later this year.

    I know it's so much easier to go over and count the negatives, try to start looking at the positives you have in life.

    You don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

    None of that just fell from the sky, your step sister & brother had to put the effort in to get where they are.

    If you want that you have to put effort in but focus on a job first.
