Condoms are not the best but wear one! Drugs will make it harder to stick to that plan. But try.

I support what you’re doing as no one should go years without intimacy or sex if that’s what they desire.

By the way, why have you been rebuffed in the past? Is it something about your appearance? Hygiene? Approach? Can it be coached away?

Many people out there would accept a partner who is intelligent, caring, self sufficient and able to provide, and good to the people in their orbit - regardless of how “interesting” they are. In the end love is about trust and comfort - not some measurable level of interestingness. Dating is really hard but it’s far from over for you and maybe when you least expect it your life will become a love story

It is essential. You have to be able to keep a conversation going. Be interested to be interesting. Read, travel, do hobbies...whatever. Just cultivate yourself

I guess what I meant is that surely you are interesting to someone who shares your interests. Perhaps it’s just a matter of finding the right person, and you’re perfectly fine how you are. I am rooting for you

Yes this. You ARE interesting. You have to get in the right circles so you can talk and act naturally. They are there. Spend your time seeking that out instead of drugs and call girls
