When I was a kid growing up, I was always popular among girls. True...I had a charm, the looks, and personality. But I never had a serious relationship, I guess because I never worried about it, and just enjoying all the attention to make me feel good inside. I was full of confidence with the way with girls. Anyways, I am 40, never have been married, has no job, and no one seems to even notice me anymore. It seems so sudden, everyone around me was getting married, and now having kids. My emotion and inner feeling has not grown out of it, in many ways, it was because I have been suffering from anxiety disorder and depression since 14 or something, and did not even know it until I was almost 25. And it got worse. Woman are so important part in me, probably to many men, it gives us a sense of life, direction, support, and confidence. I know I should have it in me alone, but for some reason I never had it on my own....anyways, I miss my teenage life, and now I've turned out to be nobody.

Sudden? Dude your 40. Don't worry about what will make the women notice you. Get your life in order and do something with it. You won't attract anyone if you don't have your stuff together. Getting a job would be a great start, What do you like to do and can you make money at it?

Hey bud, move over. I'll cry in that beer with ya. I'm near your age and going through the same thing. When I was a teenager I got so much attention and I had to do nothing. Now I have to PAY BILLS (BLECH), I'm divorced, and on the way to yet another breakup with yet another loser. It's getting easier every day to get really jaded. Listen, I'm about to get some meds because I'm learning that mental disorders are nothing to deny or play with. I'm through thinking I can live with it - it destroys my relationships. Maybe you can consider the same thing. Good luck pal - you're not the only one out there going through this..

Cheer up. Go out, get a make over so to speak (haircut, new outfit) and go out. Be yourself. Try not to let the depression get you down. I know all about that and it stinks. I have it and it's a struggle but you can do it. Go to places that you would like to find a woman. Or maybe you shouldn't even look, let her come to you. Who knows , you might meet you future wife in a grocery store. If you see a beautiful woman then go up to her and start some small talk. I'm sure you can get back in the groove of things.
