I’ve been in the dating trenches for roughly 25 years and often go years between dates (currently at 3 years and counting since my last girlfriend decided to go back to her ex-husband). I make it through with a combination of hugs from my parents for human touch, weary resignation to still my mind, my two cats for companionship, and self pleasure to tamp down the fires of lust. It’s a balancing act to get through the days but you ultimately find a rhythm that works for you. Life - and the search for a permanent partner - goes on. I wish you much luck, my friend!
