I turn 28 on Friday. I never had a real girlfriend. My future of ever having a wife or family of own looks bleak. I dread the day my parents are no longer here. They are my rock and I will be left alone with no shoulder to cry on. I am truly scared.

You need to lower your standards and be realistic if you want a girlfriend and build a relationship and family with

If you're going to be that selective, it demonstrates you have a narrow perspective which impedes your development with many other things in life.

So for starters, change your perspective.

Personally for me, no because my life is over and I just have to accept that. For you? Yeah. Why? It's because you probably have a license, a car and money which is enough to help you get out there are meet plenty of people. Good luck, bud.

What is the point if I am going to be alone and childless the rest of my life?

[AsaKyo]
