Yes, its how you choose to look at it. But do you have children who are dependent on you?

Do any of you remember approaching your teenage years when you would ask your parents "when will i ever find a boyfriend who will love me", only to get a reply "oh you don't need to worry, that special person will come right along sooner than you think". You would listen but somehow things never made much sense. Then you meet that special person, get married, have children, and tell your children the same thing and wonder why they worry about those things so much... However, when you get divorced yourself and find yourself all alone then you begin to wonder "when will i ever meet someone special again" you can't understand the meaning of your own words advise, you find yourself alone and uwanted. Being alone sucks but i try to think of the good things that i can do and places i can go. I get to go to a Jazz Club this weekend with friends, can't wait! Perhaps I'll find my Neil Diamond there!

How does one cope with loneliness? I have been living on my own for some time. I have given up on dating but find myself lonely especially at night. I am not a person who gets to go out much except with a few friends. Where is the best place to meet people?
