I was lonely a long time ago because I was living on the road doing consulting work. Always interacting with people, but no romance. What I did was build the life I wanted. I quit the road work, bought a house on my own and within 6 mos met my wife on a blind date from a mutual friend at work. Family life was perfect for me. I'd rather hang out with my kids than my friends.

That being said, I have a crazy high need/tolerance for personal time. At the end of the day when I crawl into my man cave, everyone knows to leave me alone.

    After the first few years it became easy. Babies up all night were rough, with colds and ear infections. But ever since and now in their teens, its easy. I'm more worried about when they are gone to uni in a few years, and my wife and I become empty nesters. We're going to have to work on a lot more socializing. ;)
