Well, to be honest, i sort of understand ur feeling....i think we, really had the statement "dun worry, you will find ur mr rights in the future" enuf......most of our friends say this to us where this usually never happen so far.....secondly, i dun quite like the word DESPERATE! you think we have a choice and like to be labeled as desperate....i think having a partner is more like, "ok i have something good that other people can see and appreciate"....is a matter of self esteem, and how u view urself as a person with something good in ur personality....and when most ur friends are coupled, they often are not so approachable...u feel even worst when u r lonely and helpless.....NOBODY WANT TO BE DESPERATE!
