Don't use the services of a prostitute, too risky! You don't want to chance "disease" or worse Aids, not worth it my friend.
And to be in a relationship and be unhappry, vs not being in a relationship and being unhappy. . . personally I'd rather not want to be with someone and be unhappy, I'd rather be alone. You see if you are with someone and you are not finding happiness it then becomes complicated, leading an "innocent" person to think you possibly care for them but really don't can be cruel and you wouldn't like that done to you right? I think if I weren't married I'd be alone, I have a problem with people (one of my hangups) and this is not nice for me to say even though I am married I often wish I were alone instead, allowing me to feel like myself when I want and not having to "perform" for others. Don't give up hope, take a stroll in a wooded park, circulate yourself where you may meet someone, museums,malls, wildlife centers even do some volunteer work at an animal re-hab center that is where I've met some wonderful people. Just a suggestion, not everyone is the same but some advice from others here may give you some insight. I hope this has helped, now please take care.
