But then when you meet them, you think how the hell is this a good match?

Then get depressed when it doesn't work out.

Let's look at the flip side to not being in a relationship. As others have noted it does have it's positive points. You said you always shave your legs, well if your climate has cold winters like mine you wear pants all winter long so now you can give your legs a break from razors. Let your female friends help occupy your time, after all there's no need to wear makeup for your girlfriends, you don't have to fuss over your hair, you don't have to wear some sexy outfit to be appealing, most of all you can totally be yourself. You can do everything with female friends that you'd do with a man except have sex. You & your girlfriends can go to the movies, dinner, plays, concerts, etc. & you can totally be yourself. There's no man around to deal with his funky attitude when he's moody, no man to make demands on you, no man to get on your damn nerves, no man who can turn psycho on you, & no man to break your heart.
Maybe you'll find a new love someday, maybe not as I've observed people don't marry like they use to consequently we've got a huge population of spinsters, therefore find other love interest such as getting a puppy who'll love you unconditionally as long as you're good to him, or join a charity that interacts with helping people. There are always other options to fill your gaps. Good luck.

Well, he's now in a commited relationship with someone else, he's happy and complete with his new love.

Me, I tried to date again, went in three dates with someone that just wanted sex, and a couple more disastrous dates. All online dating.

I find myself sour and lonely now, missing a lover, a relationship, but not finding him. I wonder if there's people out the reliving without a romantic partner for a long time and how they deal with it.
The reason you are so desperate to find "love" is because you don't love yourself. You are empty inside and you are seeking a man to fill that empty void. The reason boards like this one exists is because people who don't know what love is are desperately seeking external validation to make themselves feel good.

Love yourself. Take yourself on dates. Get in touch with nature. Discover new things. Go to a museum or art gallery.

Once you build up your self esteem you will attract men like magnets.

If I'm not getting laid, not wearing a swimsuit or not wearing shorts or a skirt, I don't bother. In summertime, I wear a lot of floor-length maxi dresses

I'm very susceptible to skin infections, so a little nick shaving can be a real pain in the butt.

How do they go about setting you up?


I think it works best to just introduce people with no expectations.

Waxing?

Ps side note I KNOW just how much it hurts and my heart goes out to you poor women, I lost a bet years ago and had to do my chest after winding up my best female friend. I thought it would " sting " a little... LOL

I'll admit, I had a friend set me up in high school and I couldn't figure out why she thought this would be the guy for me, so maybe I should be glad no one wants to set me up.
