Dear Dr. Romance:
I am living alone. I've been told I am sexually weak. Can I have a life partner? How long will it take? I need care and protection, and to know what my choices are. How can I be fruitful to society and mankind? Is my life worth anything? Tell me the truth. Believe me I can keep my cool. I am mentally stable and happy.
Dear Reader:
Stop focusing on being 'sexually weak" whatever that means, and start making friends. You're keeping yourself lonely by obsessing on not having a relationship, when what you really need to to is learn to relate to people and make friends. Once you have a circle of friends, and you're not so desperate, you'll find that finding a relationship is much easier. "Make New Friends, Keep Good Friends " and "Where is Love?" will help you develop relationships to resolve your loneliness. Dr. Romance's Guide to Finding Love Today will help you find companionship.
