[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 2722071, member: 11520"] Okay, how about some concrete suggestions in no particular order: Address what sounds like a case of depression. Most docs hand out anti-depressants like candy; although, I suspect some therapy might be helpful. Build your skills--a google search will reveal many 'how to be successful with women' suggestions as well as books, videos and so forth. Its an oldie, but a goodie--read 'How to win friends and influence people' by Dale Carnegie. I don't know what you do for a living, but perhaps your job will pay you to take some one and two day courses on dealing with people and/or sales. As others have said, change your hobbies. Go back to school. get involved with a church. Find a volunteer organization that is popular with women and spend some time there. Stop trying to find that lifelong partner. I swear women can smell despiration and it turns them off. If you meet a women and start trying to name your kids before you even go out she's going to sense that. Set a modest goal of just going out on a date. Try online dating services. You must see ads for several every day if you check your inbox and surf the web. As others have said look at your life and start trying to build something good without a partner. If you try all that and still don't have success, take a trip to Nevada or Amsterdam (where it is legal) and seek professional help. Get over that physical hurdle of saying to yourself 'I've never even been kissed.' A good romp might be good for your confidence as well. Good luck! One final thing, you are not alone. I know several people male and female with similar situations. I also know several people who thought they had found what you are looking for only to have it end in messy divorce or break up. Count yourself lucky that you don't have some evil vindictive ex out there somewhere taking a third of your income. I didn't get married until my 30's and now have a wonderful wife three kids, a house, and the adoration of more pets than I can count. [/QUOTE]
