Suggesting a dating site, well it's a good way to meet people, not because your so hopeless, so many people use them now, that is where I met my boyfriend, we've been together for 5 years. I wasn't hopeless or desperate.

If you want to cure loneliness you do need to socialize. Therapy is again not a bad suggestion. You seem like you are closed down to ideas. You are the only person that can change your situation, and being open to new things can only help, because what you have been doing isn't working.

Not everyone else has others to turn to, or a job, or some bright future to look forward too. Your perception seems a bit off, about the rest of the world. I think to fix these problems you are having you have to start with yourself. A friend isn't going to be able to fix it either, friends can help a bit.

I agree with Perna on this. And if you want to make some friends, you are going to have to take some initiative. Friendships go both ways. If you are just really looking for a friend, why does the person have to be female, with no kids, and not in a relationship? Are you looking for a friend, or a romantic relationship?

Maybe it is time to step a little bit out of those comfort zones.
