Harmeet Singh Whan answers on Quora: You don’t have to buy gifts to make someone happy which is most difficult task according to me. There’s no drama, no argument.

2. ‘I discovered something amazing – I was gay’ – You do get to know yourself better!

Steve Zara answers on Quora: There’s a difference between not having a girlfriend or boyfriend and never having had a girlfriend or boyfriend. Never having had a girlfriend or boyfriend for me was devastating. I felt useless and pathetic, very unhappy. It felt like a huge part of being a human was missing for me. I hadn’t any idea as to how to change this situation. This went on for many, many years after I was 18. Then I discovered something amazing – I was gay.

3. ‘Go travel! Go places! Meet new people! Don’t fret about having no love life, that will come to you!’ – Yes, when the time is right!

Anonymous answers on Quora: Lots of people have that feeling of left-out. The TV, the movies, advertising, everything is couples couples couples. Tea for two. Double trouble. Teamwork. Two to tango.

7. ‘It feels like you aren’t currently interested.’ – And that’s absolutely okay!

Jared MacLean answers on Quora: From personal experience, it feels like you aren’t currently interested/ready. Of course, this is coming from someone who doesn’t really see any reason to hurry, so it probably feels different if you’ve never had one and that’s not by choice.
