The people that I met that have been or were happy being single at the end of their lives weren't single their entire lives. Most divorced after having kids and enjoyed being single.
I think if you are single your entire life chances of you being happy will not be very high, you will rarely ever meet someone that was truly happy alone. Many people say this, but you know that it isn't the truth because they will speak about it when no one talks of it.

Yeah but my question would be, what is the purpose of "dating" someone for whom you have no romantic feelings? I understand that a majority seem to want to do it that way...but I guess I just don't see the point. I want a relationship to flow organically from a platonic friendship.
One thing that has occurred to me is that my negative experiences with having feelings for women seemed to result from them finding out my feelings through others. Yet, the reason I didn't inform those people directly is that I had no intention of pursuing a relationship at the time. Well, it's a long story.

Well, I've felt love for an older woman, women my own age, and younger women. Like I said the vast majority of women to whom I'm sexually attracted hold no romantic appeal whatsoever.
So while it sounds like your friend was being a little shallow I don't know if that is necessarily the issue with the uncle. Sometimes you like someone and they don't like you back, and sometimes nobody likes you back. It's depressing to be in the latter category, but you can't really change other people's hearts.
I am 34 and I been looking to get dates most of my 20s and now 30s. Sorry to say, I don't want to end up like your uncle. But unfortunately none of the men want me like they do other women.

Haven't you've been married before? I'm sure some guy wants you.
