I'm single and my roommates all have boyfriends. It makes me feel worse about myself being single! Especially when they all have them over and i'm just the 5th wheel!
I always try to leave the house when I know they will be over, but I can't always do that.
What should I do? How can I cope without seeming rude? I really love my roommates and their boyfriends, I just feel so out of place.
As to feeling out of place; I would need more information before I could truly be able to advise you. If I take a guess at the problem. I would guess your roommates spend a lot of time in the living room being shall we say overly intimate in front of you. If this is so then I would say you are not out of place; they are being rude.
When You have roommates it is okay to party together in one room as a group. When the time comes that a couple wants to be more intimate they should excuse themselves and go someplace private so as not to disturb or possibly offend the others.
If this is what you are talking about, then you are not the fifth wheel. You are practicing your values which you have the right to do in your own home. If they wish to be more intimate with their boyfriends they should do so in the privacy of their own room.
If my assumptions as to what is happening in your home to cause you to feel like a fifth wheel I apologize. As I said there is really not enough information to go on and I have made my best guess as to what might be bothering you.
Your values are good ones be they Christian or otherwise. Hold on to them and don't allow your values to make you feel out of place. When you get right down to it; all we can ever be judged by are our values and honesty. As I've said, you have good values and they will do you well as you go through life.

Just smile and act pretty. Play with your phone or maybe cook for them to just be away from them. And the best solution is to GET A BOYFRIEND. Maybe ho onto christiain mingle or whatever its called. Im christian too so i can mostly relate you besides the fact im about 7 years younger than you. :) hope this helps good luck!
And when all else fails tell your friends. They should understand i mean they have been single before [ Girlygirlhere's advice column | Ask Girlygirlhere A Question ]
