I got separated one year and a half ago. I was madly in love with someone who told me he was not the guy to fall in love with and that he wouldn't be in a serious relationship until his son turned 18 (he's 12).
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.
Going on two years in a few weeks and I love doing what I want, when I want to, where I want to, and how I want to without having to worry about someone else. It's great!
Don't you miss the intimacy of being with someone?
Nope! If I feel like getting with someone regularly, I'll just go with a f-buddy. But TBH, I don't see the point of risking an STD just for that. Not when there are, ah, shall we say, devices that can operate faster and far more intensely than a human.

Plus, it's generally considered a GOOD thing if it's over in 90 seconds.
Sorry, OP, but while it's perfectly natural and normal to want love, and a lot of people, even most, do, I have to agree with Auraliea: Relationships are not the be all and end all. There is so much more to life than that. Look at all the benefits of being unencumbered. No one bugging you to cook, no one making demands on your time or getting grouchy if you have to work a lot, no need to make compromises when you travel, no one coming over and eating your food and making a mess, no dealing with someone else's schedule or hearing someone else's complaints about work or aches and pains, no dealing with someone else's family or friends that you might not like, no spats, no having to explain your finances, diet, exercise, hobbies, habits, or anything else to someone else.
6 to 7 year years for me. it gets a bit lonely. what sucks is I've been losing confidence. I had a perfect opportunity last night to talk to a lady at the bar I was at for open mic but I rationalized that it wasn't worth the effort. She probably has a man, wouldn't be interested, or go out on a few dates and end up ignoring me.
So I just hung out with some people I just met who were playing music and just drank my beer. I'm in a funk and have no confidence in a relationship occurring any time soon. Not a good feeling.

Yep you WILL get over it I promise
Myself last proper relationship I split up with her a year ago, yes I've been lucky with the F BUDDY part but I've met no one that I want to open up with emotionally yet. ( for better or worse )
I understand your way of thinking and what your feeling but apart from online do you do anything else that may help you meet someone?.
Being single is not the end of the world I can promise you but you seem a very nice person and I hope you meet someone soon
Mikelee: mate we ALL have dips in confidence I had the same myself a couple of months ago, then what happened I met one!! and got my confidence back straight away so chin up
