Will I Be Alone Forever?

Idk what to say other than that I really hate being single. I’ve never had a boyfriend before, and literally all of my close friends are in a relationship already. I’m constantly worried that I’ll never find love, and that I’ll eventually die alone. I know it sounds dramatic, but it’s the only future I can genuinely see myself in.

Its always seems like a huge slap in the face when I see others (more so my straight friends) can get into relationships so quickly. Additionally, a lot of the guys I do like are either straight or bi with a preference for women. It’s really affected the way I’ve formed relationships with women, as now I sometimes see them as a threat when it comes to people I’m romantically interested in (which I don’t like!). I’ve always wanted to get married and have kids, and it pains me to think that may never happen

For context, I’m 18 and live in Iowa. My dad always tells me to keep waiting, but I don’t think he understands how hard it is for gay dating. Any advice on how I can either A, find a boyfriend, or B, get over wanting a boyfriend will certainly help. Thank you ❤️
