Single in the city



I am now well into my twenties and having recently come out of a relationship the thought of the unknown kinda scared me. I mean I have had a couple of serious long term relationships and have kind of accidentally never had much time alone. My friends would say I am a relationship type of girl but I have always been ok alone it gives me time to focus on myself and work towards my goals without distraction...which right now I have no idea what my goals are.

After a brief liaison with an ex (probably the only one I have loved unconditionally) which has now come to an abrupt halt. We were definitely an opposites attract kinda love story. I found myself single and freaking out. With everyone around me settling down and getting married, buying their first home or popping out babies I do sometimes feel like I am being left behind. 

I then decided to brave tinder. Honestly tinder is a weird concept to me and make me into a very vein picky person. I got talking to one guy and decided to meet up however I did back out and swiftly deleted tinder. Call me old fashioned but the idea of online dating does not appeal to me. Was was wrong with the days of actively going out and meeting someone. As for tinder guy he seemed nice and genuine but honestly I probably wouldn't have been able to spot him in a room full of people, that along with my dislike of dating just meeting a complete stranger had me running for the hills. 

Whilst I am now taking some "me" time I really do feel the pressure to settle down. Surely I am not the only one...
