To keep them stable, I have no time to deal with dramas and quarrels

Feel as much independence as possible

The main thing is everything! And everything should be perfect

Luxurious evening dress. The first date should be the most beautiful!

White blouse and skirt. I hardly have time to run home and change after the meeting

So, what was I wearing last time? Here, I'll put on the same dress, it's happy

This is some kind of wrong man

Well, as usual

Yes, it happens so often. I don't really hope

Hard work and constant employment

One of the possible reasons for loneliness is that you spend a lot of time at work and almost forgot about your personal life. If you are like a squirrel in a wheel, from early morning you run to work, in the evening you run tired to other household chores, or to sports, and late at night you return to your home - without the desire to see and hear anyone, then of course your chance to meet a good person who can take care of you and be with you is very small. There is only one way out of this - you simply have to allocate time each week that you will devote to your personal life. nine0003

Fear of loneliness and loss

You get to know each other, go on a first date, a second...then he disappears without explanation. Relationships are established, but do not have the desired continuation.
