Coming to terms with not finding romantic love

[KevinM1]

I am thirty-five and I have given up trying to find someone.

Of course, it is also harder for gay men like me. For straight people, it is automatically assumed that everyone in the world is straight and it is easier to approach others. For gay men, we always find ourselves being defeated time and time again because all the men we encounter are straight.

After all, the gay bar and online dating is not a solution.

35 here, too. Straight, but with the kind of physical disability that would scare just about any woman off. It sucks to see everyone else around me in a committed relationship knowing that I'll likely never have one of my own.

EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not attempting to one up you or anyone else in the lovelorn department. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'm merely trying to say that I understand the frustration of having no real romantic options present at all.
