    Hello everyone,

    I haven't posted for a while as i have been very busy trying to get a new job and move house etc. While I have been busy I realised I haven't been thinking about being lonely or the fact that at 36 I have never had a relationship. Now things have calmed down a bit the lonliness has overwhelmed me again and I really can't cope with being single. I wouldn't mind so much if I new that there was a chance for a relationship somewhere in my future but I'm not sure I can see it happening. Iv'e never met anyone so far so I have very little faith that I will meet anyone in the future.

    I feel so very scared and extremly lonely

    Molly x :tears:

    I am unsure what to say to comfort you. But I what you to know that even though I am an ocean away that I am here to talk. I am married and feel lonely everyday. Everyone has different levels of loneliness. Kust remember he folks hereat EC are always here.

    What are you doing to get yourself out there? Been to your local LGBT centre yet? Online dating?

    Hiya Molly

    Moving house and finding a new job, no small feat!
    I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling lonely, how have you gone about making friends and relationships in the past?
    (*hug*)

    I can understand feeling lonely all too well. I am always hopeful that one day my loneliness will end. Don't give up hope. Special people enter our lives when we least expect it. Even if you don't find a romantic partner, always be on the lookout for good friends. They are the people that get you through the hard times.

    Hi Molly,

    So sorry to hear you're so down. You are right to post about it.

    My only advice would be to find anything — a hobby, club, etc. — so you don't isolate. While I accept I am gay, I'm only beginning to explore the coming out process. I have some fear/anxiety even while I'm making plans and putting myself among new people —*but I know in my gut that is the right thing to do. I wish you well.
