Tired Of Being Tired.

I am in the same exact situation. All I have is my mother. I don't know what I will do when she is gone. I have asked myself the same questions that you have. I came to grips with the probability of dying alone. But I havent given up hope that by some very long shot, some beautiful caring woman finds me acceptable and stays with me forever.

Contact a kindred spirit - it will makes you feel better even if it does not bring any answers. Feel free to write me

You remind me of my mom. She's 52, 3 failed marriages, no friends and a workaholic. I guess she has an outlet because she devotes her life to her patients. Reading this reminded me to spend more time with her and call her more often now I'm off on my own. I think it's good that you're speaking out. I think maybe you can make an effort to have closer friends by joining volunteer programs.

I understand how you feel. None of us chose this life, and sometimes it feels like there's nothing we can do but wait it out. I keep trying to tell myself that God exists, and that this is the trials before the reward of heaven. But recently I've begun to doubt. I can't really help you more than to urge you to hang on, because things can and will change. That's the only constant in life, that nothing is constant.

Everyone has something to offer someone. We all feel the way you do at times. My son is going thru this right now. He feels he has no friends. My advice is to find something you are interested in such as reading, music, hiking or anything. Join a club or group that you have the same interests and start making friends that way. You may not have best friends but you will be surprised how many people feel the way you do. Get yourself motivated to do this or volunteer for some interest, even Meals on Wheels. You must start feeling better about yourself. Don't be afraid to make the first move to ask someone to have coffee or go to a movie or anything. Some people don't know how to make the first move to be friendly. Don't worry too much about the far future think about now and how you can reach out to someone else. You will feel better about yourself if you do. Good luck. And remember, we've all been there.

Hello ladytw1962, My name is Dave. I am ,or used to be handsome however when I look at my self in the looking glass I look like a kid again. It's a trick that the mind plays' on us. Three months' ago I had my annual physical. I was still 6' 1" and weighed 230lb. I still have hair but it is thinning so I keep it short. (makes me look better). I also never had children. I have been married three times which I can explain. (it was not that i did not try)

I like to fish in the sea & fly fish for trout. I hunt duck's, quail and phesant every season. I had a great dog (Black Lab) but he got old and sick and I had to put him down. Now I am alone and have nobody. I will be 66 yrs August 23rd. I don't have much money but I have a great gun collection and coin collection dating back to the revolution and enough fishing gear to outfit 8 or nine people. I used to guide trips but I am too old now. I know how to sharpen knives, tie your hooks', bait your line and teach you how to shoot shotgun's, pistol's, rifle's.or bow's.

I am somewhat heathy. I take med's for Blood pressure, cholestorl, and I am type 2 diabetic.

Non of my ailments' seem to slow me down (thanks to the meds) and I am planning a wild boar hunt in Nov. 2012, and a deer hunt in Dec. 2012 and many tuna trips in and about that time.

It's nice to have the guy friend's but I really miss women. If I had just one that liked me for who I am and wouldn't bark at me for fishing or hunting too much, that would make me a happier man. I don't like being alone. So there is my story. If you like old guys' email.
