Besides ocasional moments of loneliness, I'm quite happy being alone, in fact, I wish I had more alone time.

I'm single and, while I wouldn't say I'd want to be this way for the rest of my life, I'm fairly content with my status with the time being. Of course, if something good came that way my viewpoint would change very quickly.

Arguably true; still I can not say that I am altogether immune to depression about being single. Maybe the absence of CERTAIN emotions, such as attraction or envy, while retaining others such as interest in learning and enjoyment of friendship might make things easier. However, I lack an emotional inhibitor, even a selective one.

Honestly, No However, in the many years of my life in terms of relationships I've often found myself aligned with persons whom seemingly were truly not interested as, it was more a means of tormenting someone whom was not good at reading non-verbal clues such as myself. I guess you could say, I've not come across someone whom is not choosing to hurt you if, this makes sense?
Yeah, all people have probably been hurt yet, this is not the only cause for being single in my own words merely the fact, in most people's eyes I've had women(not all mind you) make unpleasant remarks about my appearance therefore, I seeminly choose to remain outside of most people's presence.

Well, I'd like to find a mate though but, if no such reality takes place, then I can Truthfully acknowledge that outcome.

And mine and Pug's. Get over it. We have distinct usernames so that people will not confuse us and wrongly blame one for the other's words. Think of it as three souls incarnated in the same Avatar (this really may not help much!) Maybe think of us as three monks, or alternatively mages, of the same order if you prefer. And have you forgotten our vow of not shaking our arms violently? Or did they not have this during your novitiate? Lucky you (clasps left arm with right hand to prevent violent shaking while chanting in Latin).

I have always been single (although not out of choice) and I do not enjoy it. I have never experienced a relationship and would like to, although I have been told by family that my intellect and intensity tends to intimidate.
Those I approach are either not interested, married or partnered. I am an extremely capable individual with a patient and inquiring nature and would dearly like to get married.

That is cruel and dishonest which has been done to you. To truthfully accept your lot requires an enviable degree of courage.

Definitely. Being alone sucks, but it beats being used any day. That's easier to recognize when I'm single I suppose.

Was very happy being on my own (why go on dates when I could stay at home with my stereo???) but now it´s starting to get to me. Now I´m not sure how to break out of this bubble...

I've learned to deal with it. Sit in misery or work with what you have.

More and more, I realize that the real reason why I want to be in a relationship is so that I can have a friend who will always be there for me.

If I had that, even platonically (and regardless of the person's gender), I'd be much happier.

Sorry mate, it is a hard thing to tollerate that kind of pain, anything but that.
