Yes, Indie, I am 22 years old, but my inability to connect with women my own age is nonetheless a painful experience. It's been so long since I have had a connection with a female that sex to me seems like even less of a possibility than finding love. Forever single and even undesirable as a friend is how it is for me.

George, I would like a relationship but I also would like to experience sex, however I fear neither of these will ever come true.

What do I want from relationship? Wow - I can almost cry thinking about it. I would love to be able to come home to someone that I know cares how my day went and how I am feeling, to be able to share things important to me with someone I can trust and can talk to them when I need help, things along the lines of that.

Instead, and what had been the case for several years, the only meaningful communication I have is online, because I feel like nobody in my real life cares much about me. As helpful as the Internet can be, it cannot replace a real relationship, and on forums like PC, I have to keep most of my life a secret anyhow.

I live in a large, sparsely populated region, George, and while that definitely makes it harder, it wasn't much better for me living in a major urban area. Driving trucks for 16 hours a day for 14 days at a time doesn't sound like much of a social opportunity I am afraid.

I am so tired of being so lonely.
