I am sorry i come across as whining and complaining. I was wondering if there were many singles on this forum. It didn't seem there were many. It is a bit of a grief work experience, as life draws to its end, not having had that special someone. But, i have had friends, back in the Seattle area, the years i was there. I have health problems now, and on a low fixed income, and realize that it is best to be single now. I may not be around much longer, and would not want to be a burden to a woman or a mate. I have walked alone, am used to it, and accept it. Having a SO or mate has lots of challenges, and being single does in different ways. Some cannot handle singleness, some of us can, because we had to. Pets make life better. All is well. Thanks for all the replies and sharing.
