Scared you'll be single FOREVER? People who met The One after years on their own share their tips for finally finding love (and it starts with getting a hobby)
- People who thought they'd never find love but did have shared their advice
- They have taken to Reddit to tell those unlucky in love to seriously 'give up'
- Instead, people should focus on themselves by joining a gym or starting a hobby
Almost everybody goes through periods of wondering if they'll ever find The One.
The temporary despair prompted one Reddit user to turn to loved-up couples on the forum who had previously been in a similar position, to ask for a little advice.
The lonely heart asked: 'Redditors who felt like they would never ever find a romantic partner and then did: what advice would you give to those who feel the same way now?'
It triggered a flood of reassuring responses from fellow users, who shared their sage advice from the vantage point of a happy relationship.
Their words of wisdom on how to boost the chances of meeting a significant other ranged from 'be patient' to 'be in decent shape'.
But many also emphasised that periods of being single were the perfect time to focus on self-improvement.
