I'm 23 years old and haven't had a girlfriend in almost 3 years. It has been the most frustrating years of my life. I feel so frustrated because I haven't been able to find anyone. It seems like veryone else I know is either married, engaged, or is dating someone. I work at a daycare center and I'm, like, the only single one there. A lot of the girls I work with are in their early-late 20s. They're all engaged or dating someone. Every f**ng one of them! WTF!. Am I the only single person left on this planet? Isn't anyone single anymore? I really want to meet someone, but it's been so hard for me to meet people. Having aspergers really makes it seem that much harder. It's so frustrating for me. Things that happens like this really cause me to lose hope. What can I do? Is there anyone who feels like this as well? I'm sick of being the only single one in the group.

That's pretty good going by these forum standards. I only met my first bf when I was 20.

Girls tend to get engaged earlier (usually to older guys). Not sure, but I think if they're in the childcare profession, odds are they like children and may want to settle down and start a family at a younger age too.

I wouldn't give up hope; you're pretty young and although your coworkers are engaged/married, they're not the norm in society at that age.

Well, I don't know if this will make you feel better or not, but you are certainly not the only one. The last time I had a girlfriend, you weren't born yet. You are young and have time, so don't panic yet. Wait until you are almost 50, then you can start to panic. :)
