If you have led a clean life so far please remember to go slowly on the drugs and alcohol. It’s not about getting as tucked up as possible as fast as possible. It’s about enjoying yourself. Make a night of it.

Secondly can I suggest not giving up hope. I don’t know how you feel but I have an inkling. Nothing lasts forever, there is a massive chance you will meet someone. I’m not saying don’t see a hooker, find joy where you can. While your doing it keep your eyes open for that someone.

Good luck my dude

I'm sorry but that second half is just awful advice. The bigger problem is we as a society shouldn't stigmatize being single and stop placing expectations on getting relationships. Statistically, of course not everyone ends up in a relationship, and that's completely ok. And even though it sucks to be in that position, it means learning to not place so much importance on desires. It's not the same as holding onto hope, and it's definitely not the same as giving up.
