Loneliness

I know that this is something that is annoying to listen to, but I'm lonely! I have had 1 real bf that lasted 3 months, then we were involved about 6 months later for about 4 more months. I miss having someone to hold me and tell me everything is ok after a bad day. Or someone to take care of when he had a bad day. Or a better future to hope for. I hung out with my best friend and her amazing bf (who I am head over heels in love with because he treats her so well) tonight at the bowling ally. I had a really good time, but it just made me more lonely as they were planning on where they were going to stay the night, his place or her place. 

I've never had a adult relationship. Mine and my exes relationship consisted of beer pong with his friends and going back to my room to have sex. We talked about children and marriage and our future, but he broke up with me as soon as I moved 1 hour away for my internship. We talked about it again when we were working things through, but once again he ended it when he wasn't getting what he wanted. I'm ready for an adult relationship with more concerns than who's going to buy the beer for the weekend. 

I know that it will happen when I don't want it (I was having the most fun I'd ever had in college when I fell for my ex) and its great to pretend on the outside that I'm having a ball. But the periodic make out at a bar, or hook up at a party just doesn't cut it. I guess it will happen when it happens. I just need to learn to chase a little, if I become interested in someone I meet through someone, I don't need to hope that he'll ask about me, I need to do what I can to see him again, and compliment him. I also need to accept dates with guys, even if I don't see potential, because you never know. I need to grow some balls, make the first move sometimes (but let him make the big move). I also need to make a point of calling! Instead of settling for texting! I also need to go for a guy who is going somewhere in life, not a guy who barely graduating from high school and is now jumping from job to job, because he keeps getting fired! I need a future! 

Any ideas on where to meet a good guy?
