I am not looking for sex just companionship I am so lonely it's not even funny I need to start going for more motorcycle rides. I just spend like 20 hours in my house all day everyday. I do belong to a widow and widowers group that us a support site and a dating site. I just really hate being all alone chatting online is fine but I miss being face to face.

From one stranger to another, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the grief you're still feeling. With that said, my advice would be to absolutely sign up for that dating website. Twenty-odd hours a day in the house can't be good. It feels like living in her mausoleum. Maybe not for her body, but definitely her soul and spirit. Go for it. Find someone. Start the next chapter.

Good luck.
