Steve_, I feel you man. I think loneliness is natural, even if we are content and happy on our own. I didn't marry until 29 years old. I was a bachelor on my own for several years. I was perfectly happy living on my own and content in how my life was. I would work, go to gym and workout, hang out with friends in the evening and weekends, and go on occasional dates (when I wasn't in a R). But there were times I was lonely. And that is when I would reach out to friends and family.
I like your last few updates. Well done!
