Hard to argue with GingerV.

Being alone and lonely leaves you with options, chances where

if you meet someone you can at least explore whether there is

a chance of a relationship.

Being lonely with someone is just a dead-end, sitting waiting

for the relationship to do a Lazarus.

The downside of being alone is that you put your vulnerabilities

on the line when you explore the emotional envelope.

If you are willing to give a chance, seek and you shall find.
