I totally understand what you mean when you say you miss having someone there. I was not an only child but learned to enjoy solitude as an adult because I didn't get married until I was 35 so I spent much of my time living alone. I like living alone: deciding what and when I want to eat, watch tv, go out and do something fun, etc. etc. etc. BUT, there are days where I actually long for adult companionship of the male persuasion. Someone to just sit and talk with or cuddle with or go out on an actual date with.
Hang in there, Ginger, because I think there is an amazing man out there somewhere trying to make his way to you right now.
