You could start a meetup group for a bipolar support group and probably meet someone that way, or a singles group. There is a singles meetup group that I might go to a first time event today, which has about 90 people going. For over 40 singles. I'm 50.

But I have been separated 3 years, going through the divorce process now, I miss my kids more than my wife, so I guess it's a good thing. She wasn't too happy about us foreclosing our house. So much for "for better or for worse". Also "in sickness and in health" as she decided when I was hospitalized to call it quits. She didn't come to pick me up from the hospital, how cold is that?

Anyhow, I think being alone is fine as long as you can have enough friends to talk to and do things with if you are in the mood to do them with someone. I have a hiking / professional friend who will do a hike with me once in a while. I have a long time friend from 3rd grade but he is an hour and a half away so I don't do stuff with him. He's a biker and I'm not, also.

Part of me wants to, after my kids are grown and I no longer have to provide support money to my ex, become a Buddhist monk. I don't know if I could do that or not but it sure sounds good and peaceful. So I guess I'm not that interested, now that I am 50 anyways, in another relationship. I don't feel I have much to offer either, financially or time wise, right now. But if I met someone I hit it off with I suppose I'd want to hitch up.
