Have you considered getting married? I may very well have been able to afford a house before I got married but the timing and the compromises that would have entailed always seemed to hold me back.
Once I got married though there was both more money and a realization that some possibilities (you know I might just pick up sticks and move across the country) were less likely. Plus expanding our family was very possible.
There's a reasonable view that says finding a spouse is a more major undertaking then finding a house. I honestly don't think that's the case. Go out on a date withe someone, if you enjoy it repeat that a few times. After 6 months imagine it'll be that way for the rest of your life,and then ask yourself, is it really that bad? If the answer is no propose marriage.
