I feel the same way it would be nice to be with someone and have a family. I love kids and that is not a single activity.
I do thing like go to the movies, go for walks alone, talk to people both men and women and contrary to what people tell me I am not datable either. I even quit my job and I am still wandering the world. I go to hostel to hostel meet and talk to people sometimes go with others to go do something. I have been to UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Transnistria met a few nice people along the way but no luck in the personal relationships department. I have never been in a relationship other than just friendship. I have met people from time to time from dating websites and such but it never evolves to dating. I will wander the earth and see a few more countries before just giving up. I met a non-single friend that is going to live and work in Thailand and asked if I wanted to go which I will. I asked a gal that I met before and like but is now single if she ever was in Thailand before she said no. Asked her if she ever wanted to go and she said yes then I said lets go and then she had a few excuses. Though when I mentioned that our mutual friend was also going she was willing to go :/. I will be nice to see her again but I do not have much hope for a relationship.
