I think the best advice I've been given, is to be okay with yourself. It's very common to say you have to love yourself before another can love you, but I find that stuff seems a bit selfish and like a person with a big ego

. Naturally we want someone else. I watched a video about being single these days and how younger people get this idea of needing someone to complete them, even older people like myself. The whole, I think it was called Jerry McGuire, I'm not spelling it right, it's not even a movie I finished, but the sentence "you complete me" was stuck in my head. It's not so much about needing someone to complete us, but we are (if heterosexual) always missing the part of having that, in my words, companionship with the opposite sex. We do have to be a whole in ourselves first.

. Too many like myself for years, thought being single wasn't normal and I had to have a romantic partner. I'd rather be single than in a relationship right now. As you saw on my thread, I struggle myself. I won't go back to a dating app. It's like selling yourself. I'd rather meet someone in real life, and if not, then I'm okay too. But I'm 53 and losing interest in sex, so any man I know has been a friend for a long time, and this one I did give into lately as trying to be more than a friend isn't working out. But I have at least 3 males as friends and nothing more. They are good to talk to. More logical. Sorry, starting to talk about myself. But otherwise I don't have good insight as to where you start,

maybe when covid is opening up more things that have a common interest or hobby with males you could join a meetup group or something of interest. Best wishes to you.
