You must not like outdoors things, because you live in paradise for outdoors activity. I would have a list of 100 things to do, depending on the time of year.

Yeah, I'm not an outdoorsey type. I prefer the city and I happen to think air conditioning is pretty awesome.
Why don't you have friends? How long have you been in the area? Do you have co workers that you chat with? How about neighbors? Invite a neighbor over for a get together. If I didn't have a single person to do anything with, I would do everything in my power to change that, ASAP!
If you are shy, become a friend to the elderly, they love visits and will enjoy your company, they are wonderful to visit and they'll be excited to see you.
Tony, I am sorry that you are alone, and that you are alone for your birthday. It is hardest to not have friends on holidays. Are you close enough to any of your co-workers to ask them if they'd like to go out and celebrate your birthday with you? Are you comfortable going to a club or bar by yourself? If the answer is no to both of those questions than I would suggest you buy yourself something that you want but would normally not spend the money on. Get yourself a good movie, get some tasty take-out, a small cake and some gelato and try to make it as good a birthday as you can. Happy Birthday to you.
It's just an arbitrary holiday that's only there for companies to guilt people into buying other people stuff they probably don't need.
I usually go to my parents house and we have a small dinner (I don't eat cake or sweets so none of that stuff) and then I go home. This last year I actually went out with friends and ended up being the DD and had to drive everyone else's drunk asses home at the end of the night. Super fun birthday.
I would have picked up a nice car at DIA, driven the Estes Park loop or gone to one of the resorts past the Eisenhower Tunnel, and treated myself to a nice dinner. If they had a brunch buffet in either of those directions, I would have jumped on it.
Good lord, dude, this city is MADE for loners. Take the day off from work and enjoy everything it has to offer.
There's a lovely Botanic Gardens to stroll, some amazing bookstores, a few small outlying towns with great "old townes" to wander, some amazing restaurants (a few of which have "community" seating) and breweries, museums out the wazoo, a library system to die for, and that's not even to mention the insane music scene ... Then there's Boulder not far away, and all the stuff they have THERE.
No offense, but for a loner, you're really bad at it. I do what I want around here and have a blast, and if I feel a little awkward ever I just whip out a book and read.

If you're both in Denver, why don't you meet up and find a similar interest, no more lonely times.

My lonerdom is mainly by choice. I have a bunch of friends here now, but I hang out on my own a lot, too. There's a cute little restaurant where they know me around the corner, and sometimes I'll just take a book on over there and have a quiet, low-key dinner. Sometimes the owners will come out and chat, and that's nice. But mostly I just read and people watch, and enjoy the food, which is inevitably awesome.
But I'm always up for meeting new people. Yo, OP, DM me if you wanna hang.
