My desparation stems from the fact I'm in my mid-30s and have yet to have a proper full-blown relationship, the pool of available women is diminishing and the ones that are left really don't inspire me, and I feel that if I don't get onboard the relationship bus now I'll end up an embittered, lonely bachellor in some scummy flat thinking of all my could-have-beens and the like.
As each of the women I've come to know (mainly online) tells me, "as a good frined", about their marriage plans or the children they're expecting one can't help but feel a pang of desparation form and grow into full-blown romantic rage. Hit the dating sites, run off 10 messages to any woman you even half-like, get no replies after a month, get that image of the bachellor flat again, etc etc etc.
