Also… Upon reading some of the other postings on here… Some of you will say, “why don’t you just go out and find somebody more compatible?”.

Sometimes I think that’s an unkind thing to say. It almost feels like someone saying, “just get over yourself and go find something else”.

If it was that easy, that’s all many of us would do, but for many of us, our options are limited. I don’t attract women, easily or often, so this almost seemed like it was too good to be true. Clearly it was.

Dating sites pretty much don’t work for me. I get zero responses. I don’t have many places I can go where I live that I don’t encounter, married couples, and families. I try to get out at least once a day and go somewhere public to see if I can bump into someone and start a conversation… But there’s just not that many options. I live in a very high value environment, and it’s very affluent here. I just don’t fit in. And I’m stuck here. My daughter lives nearby. I have no family anywhere near here. Most of my friends live further away.

I just don’t know what to do. I’m losing hope.
