Dear Loney in Australia,

I will not call you Freak!

Believe in Love

For starters, I think that maybe you need to start to believing in love - the possibilities of it - the enormity of it and find it within yourself. It sounds to me, like you don't love or value yourself all that much - aside from your work related accomplishments.

You say that you have never had had even the most simplest contact with the opposite sex. I am sure it is possible to befriend one. To make a friend and to find love and happiness in a platonic sense is probably the best start.

Do Activities Where the Women Are

Right. He has to start by finding women friends.

To find a female friend, who will no doubt counsel you on finding a woman for love interests, take part in some clubs. Or you can read books, play sports, got to church, take a course that you have always wanted to take. Just make sure it is one that women enjoy. Hmm...lets see, I am a girl and I like - ceramics, jewelry making, stained glass.

You said in your question that you sought professional help, maybe you should try and take a relationship building or singles support group .

Get A Pet

If these ideas do not put you in the right direction then may I suggest the best companion I have had in hard times. Get yourself a pet. Maybe a puppy that needs to be loved and in return it will love and adore you. PLUS, some people walk their pups in parks that are frequented by other single people dog walking.

Find It All

You mention ending it all. Don't. Instead FIND IT ALL!!!! Find the strength and love and amazing possibilities that exist within yourself and others and keep trying. I hope that my suggestions help you in some way. And I hope you find happiness and love- within yourself and then within a friendship and then from a wonderful loving companion. Good LUCK and get to work!
