You are only 26...I turn 55 this October and have never been married and would love to find a woman also...but the four serious relationships I have been involved in have left me pretty beat up and defeated. Yes...loneliness stinks, but it's better to be lonely than to force yourself into a relationship "just to be with someone". I would rather be alone than to be with someone that takes me for granted or uses me like ones from my past...I'll never give up hoping someone will come along, but being by myself beats a relationship full of drama and abuse...give it time jovanovic
