Punched in the Gut Or Being Alone Sucks

It's probably overreaction, but after 'letting' a friend sign me up on a dating site and looking at the site and my 'matches' for several days, I just feel unbearably sad.

Before I did this, I could pretend that there was someone out there and I just hadn't met him yet, but this 'dating site' has brought to the forefront for me how unbearably hard it is to find someone and how rare it is the older you get that you will actually get married.

I think I have gone about dating completely wrong my entire life and now at 29 I'm beginning to honestly believe there just isn't someone out there with whom I could and would want to spend my life.

I'm not single for a season. I'm single for a reason.

I'm simply not the kind of person who other people want to marry. I'm outspoken and opinionated. I'm really very religious, but not in a conservative way. I'm female and highly educated. I'm overweight and under-motivated. I correct people's grammar and read Ancient Greek. Unless the Doctor is looking for a new companion, I'm pretty much doomed to walk the earth alone.

I've been saying that this was a seriously possibility to everyone else for a while now, so why do I feel like I just got punched in the gut?
