I'm too lonely to just "give up". I also don't see that many women my own age around...

I don't believe in that love anymore.

I haven't given up on love, but I feel that I'm too introverted to really have a good relationship (Which I learned the hard way in high school), plus the fact that I work until 8 o'clock at night for most of the weekdays doesn't really give me a lot of time to go searching for one. Still, maybe it will maybe it won't. I'm just gonna wait and see.

That one is easy: Prostitution.

My predicament is the inverse. I've given up on sex, but not love. If sex arises from love, so much the better, but it's not required. I need the feeling of being with someone more than anything else. Those few precious times I've held a woman in my arms (for whatever reason, one time it was because she was incredibly depressed and I was trying to make her feel better) have been some of the most fulfilling moments in my life...

Not entirely. I've just stopped actively pursuing it. I do still have a small spark of hope within.
