I Feel So Alone

Me being alone is really getting to me these days. Every time i see a couple or people flirting, it just makes me angry..... Not to them but myself. What's wrong with me that i can't find the right person. Why do I have problems talking to someone I like and just trying to know her?? And for the women i know and like, i'm just a good friend. Someone to talk to and who's their best buddy..... I'm really starting to hate that word... Best Friend, Bestie, Bff. I'm just giving up on ever finding someone, anyone.....

I don't know the answer, as I've been alone most of my life, even when married. I was a good looking woman in my day, but unless you come across someone who really appeals to your personality (and vice versa), who is also available (physically and emotionally) looks don't matter.

Yes, guys were interested in me back then, but most I never gave a second look because they were not for me. Hell, even the ones I actually went out with were not for me, now I can look back on it.

My experience is it's very difficult to find a compatible soul. One you "gel" with physically, mentally, and emotionally. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. The older one is the harder it becomes, I think. I've only found two that I felt a real connection with, and one is dead, and the other was not to be. Life can be lonely indeed.
