Being single isn't difficult for me. I've been that way since I was born. I did want a boyfriend when I was a teenager, but after seeing how a lot of the males I'd talk to weren't really consistent/honest and a lot of relationships were mainly just "glamorized" at that time, I stopped caring. No one even really piques my interest anymore. It's actually a pain in the butt to even think about adjusting to another person.

I do what I always do. Go about my daily life. Whether or not I have a partner has little to no effect on that.

I don't think it's so much being lonely in itself, rather than lack of intimacy. I'm sure I speak for others when I say that at times, you just want to have someone next to you at night. You can function okay during the day, but at night, when all is quiet and settled down, you just want that someone there.

How do you cope? I haven't been in a relationship in over 2 years. I'm not coping well, I'm kind of bitchy all the time. For you young people, the older you get especially with a kid, the harder it gets to find a compatible and suitable life partner, it's almost like it's too late, like you missed the boat. It's discouraging, I'm tired of dealing with faders and users, they prey on my weakness to be loved. I'm thinking about getting on meds to become numb and give up on dating completely
I agree with you and I feel the same way, It's been over a year on my end.

More power to you but I find it a lonely lifestyle to live.

Lol, I actually feel the opposite way usually. At night time, when I'm really tired and have my own business and/or school work to do, I'm glad I'm single (especially after a long day).

During the day time when I see other couples is when I sometimes may get jealous.

I deal with it by watching copious amounts of porn and jerking off.

Yeah. Like when I go on vacation and I try to go to sleep at the hotel and my cat isn't there, I get really sad.

How did I deal with it?

Working on Muscle Cars
Riding Motorcycles
Golf
Hang with friends
Spend my money on whatever I wanted
Shooting Guns
Salt Water Aquariums
Building Drones
Fishing
White Water Rafting
Etc. Etc.


My point was as much as I didn't like it, I kept busy and had fun. Eventually I did meet someone that took all my free time away and made me sell off all my hobbies!
You seem like a cool dude mike. Those were my goto hobbies as well.

I imagine for a woman it's pretty easy to land a quality guy. 1 loose weight 2 dress up cute 3 don't act crazy
