I am working on myself right now to not be so depressed and lonely, and to be able to have something to offer someone when the right person comes. You should check out meetup.com to see if there are any events in your area. I also recommend doing a lot of writing, it helps to see what you really want out of life and where to start. I personally like to read self-help books as they make me feel like there is something out there waiting for me and it is just a matter of time before it comes.
You will have a wonderful family and have everything you wish for, but first you have to be happy with yourself. Don't give up, good things will come on their own just be patient  |
I'm actually semi-active on meetup.com and have been since about 2009. I've been finding it very VERY difficult to connect with people and I don't know if it's my schedule, if it's because some groups already have an established "clique" or if I'm giving off a really bad vibe. I connected with one group and, after only two meetups, heard from a member that 2 women thought I was trying to steal their guys! Ehhhh, really? I was talking to the guys, sat and had a drink, that's all. Anyway, yeah, still going to meetups so...we'll see...
