is there any hope

hello I am a 42 year old male and it has been 16 years since my last date.
It has gotten more and more difficult to talk to women that I am attracted to. If there is no possibility of romance I can talk and act normally.
Don't get me wrong,i am not a bad looking man. People often say that it is puzzling that I am not married,i usually do not have a response when they say those things.

I used to get up every day and think this is the day I meet someone but lately I tend not to be so optimistic. If you were to meet me on the street you would never guess this about me,i guess one of the things against me is that I am one of those good guys. I even have thought about becoming one of the bad ones but I don't have it in me.
I tell myself the fixes but cant bring myself to rectify my behavior. At this point I am thinking I should give up and accept growing old by myself,is there anyone out there that can help me

Don't ever give up. You never know when you will meet Miss Right. Join a club of something you enjoy. It's a way to start meeting people and the more you meet the more chance you have of finding someone that will appreciate you for you.

Never give up! I am a firm believer that the best things happen when you're not looking for them so maybe it's on it's way to you. Have you tried online dating or arranging a friend to go on a double date? Online dating can be helpful if you're having a hard time face-to-face and having a friend go on a date like double dating could help you feel less nervous maybe?
