Let’s face it, finding the right partner can be difficult, so sometimes we get stuck for years on our own. How do you keep your sanity during a long dry spell with no end in sight?

I’ve not experienced this since getting married but prior to that was basically very shy and so didn’t ever meet anyone to build friendships with let alone have any sexual contact
Looking back now I’d advise joining some local groups and activities to meet people
Dating sites were not a thing back then but try those too
Don’t resign yourself to being alone there’s very likely someone else who will be a great match

If you’re into it, paying for it

That’s illegal in the US, so not really an option here.
I can say from personal experience that dating sites do not work at all. Tried them for years and it never led to anything. I do try to get involved in things and it has led to a lot of great friendships. It’s just finding single people can be challenging. I’m trying to go on more vacations and see who I can meet on cruises or concerts etc.

Ok a couple of friends found partners via that route so I guess it sometimes gets results
Samamtha here. Depends what youre looking for. If its just sex then sites like tinder woeked for me. Went from no sex for 3 months to all the sex i could handle and more. However i gather its alot easier for us woman than it is men.
That’s the issue, I’m not into causal sex. I’ve had opportunities and been invited to a couple threesomes. But I’m only interested in sex within a very serious relationship. And with every passing year my resolve waivers more and more.
My advise would be to stop looking. Forget about it and concentrate on what makes you happy. One day when you least expect it, it will happen.

From someone who’s tried everything and still has forever been single, you kinda just get on with life day by day and then it becomes to normal
