I feel like I've been a loner for more than ten years and the last date I had was longer ago than for you. I didn't choose that way of life.

I'm pretty much up there in age, too. I don't see any prospects with any woman coming up and I feel convinced that it's not going to happen for me. I had tried all kinds on line dating services and meet-up groups and they never panned out for me.

I would like to have someone in my life, but I guess I'll be OK without someone. If I can't have a woman, at least a good friend would help. I have one friend now, but he's very old and has limits. I feel like I could do much better than having him in my life. It's hard for me to make friends because of the combination of my personality; and so many seem to be set in their lives that they don't need me. There are lots of times that it's OK for me to be alone. But then there are certain times when it doesn't feel good.
