    A terrific woman by my side. I was married but it didn't work out. We have a kid together and I love him to death but I need companionship. Someone to talk to other than a 6 yr old. Someone to spend time with, do things with, travel, listen to...
    Go to a bar and seak out a old alcoholic looking person. Drunk old guys, in my experience, are friendly talkative folk.

    Its funny you say this. I used to goto chicago and NY and usually late late night. I would just goto the local tea shop where most of the cab drivers are having some rest. Every single one of them is eager and waiting to talk to somebody and all you have to say is hello.

    It's because you're looking.

    I guess I should quit looking then.

    You are seeking happiness in big. That is a mistake many unhappy people make. You are looking at others and thinking "I want that". No. That isn't happiness. That is envy. And while there is nothing wrong with trying to get there, many people forget that in order to get there, you need to enjoy the happiness in little doses life gives you.

    Happiness is watching your 3 years old nephew steal your ice cream and running around. Not even eating it, just running from me because its funny for him.

    Happiness is hanging out with your friends.

    Happiness is making your friends laugh at the expense of looking like an idiot.

    Happiness is a choice. I know depression and it isn't fun. I still battle with it hard and every day. But I have learned to appreciate the little things and that seemed to have made things better. I hope you find happiness too.

    Best answer EVER

    Your happiness cannot depend on someone else. It isn't fair to put that kind of responsibility on another person. Be happy with yourself, and the rest will follow.

    Your mistake is basing your happiness on having a romantic companion. That is only one aspect of life.

    Some of the most miserable people I know are in relationships. The unhappiest times in my life have been due to relationships. You can't just unequivocally state that relationship = happiness.

    As for everyone that glibly says "Stop looking and it'll find you"...that's BS. I stopped looking after my last relationship and guess what? No dates in 3 years. If you want it, get out there and meet people. Join online dating, volunteer, find some single parent clubs, MeetUp.com, go to church if you're so inclined, etc..

    I find this slightly funny seeing as OP is the same dude who posted a thread asking about 'risque chat sites' on MFP.

    Happiness comes when you don't look for it :) You might be happy right now and not realize it!
