Alone, depressed, have no one I love?

I'm a 24 year old guy and have never had a partner. Every day I feel dead. I want a family more than anything but that's never going to happen. I often imagine having someone close to me, reality just makes me think about suicide. I don't even know what my question is.

I go out, socialise, spend time with friends, but I never meet anyone. I don't know how much longer before I kill myself.

Update:

"Only 24" ? Only 18, 20, 21 I can understand. All my friends are getting married or are in long term relationships. I have no one. I've travelled around the world on my own. I'm tired of living like this, I just want out.

    Depression is a bad thing its like a black hole that sucks you in .

    you clearly are depressed , been there done that !!!!

    Right don't even try and look for a partner at the moment , you will come over as to desperate to clingy , thats probably whats happening

    sort your depression out , i never took drugs for mine , i developed a positive attitude and threw myself into my job , and exercised yes it works , once you feel good in yourself you will radiate ,women will pick up on that and you will be well on your way .

    also once you are on the road to recovery and you will ( No more killing yourself nonsense laddy) !!!! try joining a club a group volunteer great place for meeting great gals .

    but do not wollow in self pity , its the road to know where .

    get out there today and take a positive step to your recovery , see a doctor , but in my experience , they just want to put you on funny pills , i told you how i delt with my problem , you can do it to ,

    so what you going to do , nothing and die alone and unloved , leaving a trail of misery behind you , or get out there as the other poster says with a smile on your face and a spring in your step , with a hot chick on your arm the choice is yours , but there is only one choice really , get on with it !!!!!!!

    Don't worry my friend. You just have not found the right one yet. Do you have anyone you like? If you say no, it is all your fault. You tell us that you have not been into a relationship and you want a family. Therefore you are suppose to find the one you like no just sit around moaning about wanting a family. No girl is going to come up to you and BOOM you fall in love with each other. You've got to get into a relationship and find the right one. You will not know immediately because if you do that's forcing love and it'll end up with a divorce.

    This is very hard to explain but you have got to have someone you like. You say you socialise often and still single. That's fine that you're still single but I'm sure there is someone that you kind of like. Maybe that pretty girl or something? Are her out if there is...

    If you've traveled around the world you sound lucky enough to be gifted so it sounds like nothing makes you happy because you have everything except one and that's a partner, and trust me, you're far too young to be thinking about it. I'd give anything to be 24 again. God what a wonderful age. The freedom is glorious. In 10 years you'll be looking down at a table covered with stacks of bills, life full of responsibilities, probably married with two or three kids, at least two of them screaming for attention, a wife that's unhappy, and YOU wishing you were 24 again. Stop trying to grow up so fast, we all get one life, slowdown, enjoy the little things, trust me, a significant other is not always what it's cracked up to be. I've been on both sides of the fence and now I'm divorced. Trust me when I tell you life is not always greener with the wedding ring on your finger πŸ‘°πŸ’πŸ’”πŸ“†πŸ“…πŸ“€πŸ“₯πŸ“‰πŸ“ˆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸΌπŸ’΅πŸ’°πŸ’΅πŸ’°πŸ’΅πŸ’°

    First things first, dont kill yourself!

    Sometimes when were looking for that special person we forget that the way we are currently feeling shows through. Nobody is going to be checking for you if your depressed. You gotta chill, enjoy other things that you are pursuing, and embrace yourself before you take a whole other person on.

    And then, just dabble into talking to people that you are iinterested in.

    you are only 24 so give yourself some time. To find the right partner you need to give yourself time and people who get married early also get divorced more easily. maturity comes with time and dont thing of suicide.

    If you understand the law of karma it says "A man who takes his own life is doomed to lead a worse life in the next birth and suffer more"

    So dont get that bitter take up courses, hobby classes and get a life.

    Have you ever walked up to a stranger and started a random conversation before? If you have, that's what some women like about guys. Most women like courage and it doesn't matter how much courage you have you can always be amazing to anyone you meet. Even if you don't have a relationship you don't have to be lonely. You have friends and those friends are like family.
