I am a 47 year old male that has been single since the break-up with my fiance back in 2003. That's 15 years that I have lived without a significant other in my life. I got a dog a decade ago who was a blessing and my best friend but he fell ill and had to be put down 2 years ago. Having a pet definitely helped with not feeling completely alone in the world but all the while I knew it was only a band-aid fix. Over the years I think I allowed myself to fall deeper and deeper into social isolation to the point where finding my way back out is seemingly impossible. The friends I do have are all married, some with kids and understandably busy with their own lives. I am beyond tired and sick of online dating sites/apps as they have proven a waste of time, money and energy. Over the years, I literally have gone on hundreds of dates - most of which ended up going nowhere, some being one night stands, a few I saw again and one even became a psycho stalker.
