i think that what i want is companionship, not really a 'relationship'

instead of going the rest of my life by myself....i'd like to find companionship so i don't feel so alone......as i live alone, lived alone 20 years, and just have my elderly mum & dad for support...and i also deal with a very difficult personality disorder.

as solitary and reserved as i am i don't think i could face being on my own for the rest of my life...the loneliness would send me under.

any thoughts?

The saying goes, theres someone out there for everyone. You have to meet some people. Just be honest and upfront and tell them exactly what you are looking for. You are not the only person who feels that way. Im on my second marriage it 13 years in December. The first time i was married 22 years. My current husband and i were friends for 2 years before we dated and i told him the same thing when we met, im just looking for a friend. If something more blossoms from it that would be awesome and if not i would like to remain friends, even if you move on i would still like to be friends.
