Wanting what I can't have

This is a common theme in my love life (or lack thereof) recently.

E was emotionally unavailable, then when he started to sort things out, he has now started seeing someone else. He hasn't yet had the grace to tell me that himself, but I shall be making enquiries of him over breakfast - much to his discomfort, I'm sure.

I chatted with an absolutely lovely man at a pub on Thursday night, whose voice just made me swoon over him - alas, he has a girlfriend that he lives with.

A co-worker and I were in the hallway getting into the lift when a guy walked past, looking suitably geeky in a sweater vest and tie - co-worker poked me and exclaimed in the lift"He is SO your type!" "Yeah, I know, but he is gay and has a boyfriend. Believe me, I already sussed that one out."

We are in the Roxy for happy hour last night when a very cute guy caught my eye. Alas, again, he was drinking smirnoff ice with a straw. I think I can draw a fair conclusion from that.

I'm left feeling not remotely settled in my singledom, which then makes me a bit more anxious. Why can't I just forget about it and get on with my life as a happy person? Why can't I find anything remotely in between casual one night stands and nothing at all? And how can I get over being distressed about this?
