malcolm my friend, intrust your hand to mine and sit beside me and let eddy bear tell you a secret.
I too felt the same as you my friend. Last year I was so very depressed and Christmas seemed to just amplify the feelings.
Its seems like everyone else has found the perfect partner except you.
Well,... here i am. Pretty much a year to the day when i felt at my lowest point and single.
Difference is now,..... Im engaged to a wonderful woman who is just perfect in every way possible and have just bought a house together.
How so? Well,.. trust me when i say, if i can do it so can you!
Simple - positive attitude and try and just go for it! Never say NO!
2 days after boxing day last year I arranged a date with someone I just wouldn't normal consider g/f material,... and here I am.
BE positive and TRY EVERYTHING!!
Its better to regret something you have done, than regret something you haven't.
Internet dating sites are a great way to start.
OR do what i did,.. use rohypnol
