Was forever alone for about 4 years, now struggling in a long-distance relationship due to Ukraine being a warzone (although we did have a chance to live together for about half a year before getting separated).
Bottom line - never give up, sooner or later you will meet someone who likes you back, but it doesn't mean life will be miraculously amazing once you get together. We had a lot of great times but also a lot of fighting here and there, and sometimes life makes it extremely difficult to keep up.
