QuietHeart,
I wish I had some answers for you or some insight. I know I felt like a late bloomer compared to my peers when it came to dating and so on. I agree it was hard to see people paired off all the time. In some ways, I'm still a late bloomer, because I haven't had children yet, and I'm 38. I just tell my self it will happen when the time is right.I do know, though, that the older you get, the harder it can be to meet people. And if you are feeling down on yourself, it's another strike.
Can you try to enjoy yourself as you are, and your friends as they are...paired off or not? Actually, the night I met my husband I had declared myself "red-shirted" or out for the dating "season" (or at least six months), because I had had a bad date with an on again off again boyfriend. Who knew I would meet my friends at a local establishment and meet the man I would eventually marry? You never know...when you are ready it will happen.
Take care,
gg
