They charge for their services because it is a full-time occupation and therapists have to live, too. Many professionals do a certain amount of pro bono work; they just might not advertise it. You might want to look into an online dating service; where you can plug in your interests and find local singles in your area.
It was not meant to insult anyone.. some of us just don't have the money or the heart to let a paid professional deal with our problems. The problem I have with paid professionals mostly lies in being completely cut off from that person due to a lack of funding, which might be a waste of time for someone like me who would prefer investing my thoughts and feelings into someone who will always be there. It's not always about the money, some of the best things in life are free.

I appreciate a lending hand, I will consider it

If you really need a friend not a therapist, I am a good listener.
I could use a good listener
