Hi BF and thanks for sharing your feelings with us. I've followed your postings on the BP forum so I feel that I already know you a bit. If memory serves me correctly, and it often doesn't, *grin...you are isolated some by your location. I can understand why people like you as you are so supportive of others.
I think you need people in your real life...people who care about you. Does your church have a singles group? Do you like to read? Can you surround yourself with people in any kind of group setting?
Change is hard and new situations can be scarey but I think you would be a real asset to a group. And sometimes we have to be proactive with our lives.
