I hate that evolutionary part of me that cares about having sex/a mate so much that I actually allow myself to become depressed based on the goddamn preferences of one person.
For years the only happiness I’ve found has been by removing myself from the market entirely and just writing off the notion of being with someone, a “with no hope/expectations there is no letdown” kind of thing.
I was carrying on just fine like this until I got a beautiful new coworker a few months ago who laughs at even my worst jokes like it’s going out of style. Alas though I’m sure she likes me I know I’m too old for her so here I am just unusually unhappy in my solitude for the first time in years. Ugh, is it time to get on tinder? I fucking hate the whole enterprise of dating.
Sounds like you don't have friends and you expect your partner to be your only source of emotional support. You should fix that before you try to be in a romantic relationship.
No YOU sound like you don’t have friends!

Cute. I'm not the one who needs to date someone to be happy.
Okie dokie everyone, canuckkat is the best of us, he has never felt down for want of a relationship with someone. He just has SO many friends that he’s immune to romantic emotions.
“Just get more friends bro”
Not even a he 🤣
And actually, my friends do fulfill 70% of my emotional needs and I'm pretty good at fulfilling my own needs as well. I have zero desire for a romantic relationship or connection at this point in my life.
