I want someone to love. Someone to be a companion with , a partner. Someone who will love me. I want this more than just about anything.

But I know, deep down, that there is no one like that out there for me. It will never happen.

How do I get out of this inescapable situation, sublimating my greatest desire knowing that it will never be fulfilled?

I don't know, but I can relate.

I think I need some kind of positive reinforcement to begin to enjoy single life without the idea of that changing. I need to learn to see it in a new way because it's All that I have and all that I will ever have.

I need to see it not as a burden, but as a freedom.

I think I would have fancied you, Hurtloam, had I not been taken. And if you fancied me, too.

As for Brian: you have cultivated tastes. Hopefully, soon, you'll find a cultivated woman.

You need to be smart, kind, concrete, nice, strong, realistic, sensible, considerate, assertive, independent, practical, hard-working, and straight-forward. That's the qualities that I'm seeing these bad boys have. Most of all, realistic. Also, you need to be as cheerful as you can be, and fun-loving, and calm, but the best quality is being a good listener and being yourself. Never be envious.

Do not go for women that are not interested in you, and that's because they are already falling for another guy. They may be single, and they may have zero interest in your type, but truthfully, the right type of women do not make it a challenge for the guys they like. She will make it obvious that she likes you, and not passively hidden. Do not go after annoyed women, and they tend to be the types that really are not interested in you.

I wouldn't listen to the "I found bullcrap" crowd for too long, and that's because you should not be a people pleaser, but be yourself.

Unless she's shy like me and you won't have a freaking clue, but yeah, avoid angry women lol.

I like the rest of ZachGoodwin's advice. Nice and positive.

Thank you very much for your reply. I used to hardly get replies, and any reply makes me happy.
