    Question if you don’t mind, did you just never have the opportunity or you don’t want to, religion or something?

    Also have you ever considered a sex worker just to get it over with?

      I don’t mind answering, perhaps it can help someone else in a similar situation before they get into the same situation as me.

      I matured late, combine that with having trouble with interpreting other people’s emotions I wasn’t interested until I was in my mid twenties.

      At that time I worked 12h alternating day/night shifts on an irregular schedule, and was depressed.

      After working that job for four and a half years, I got a new job with normal office hours and a much better location, but by then I had become overweight, balding and was feeling lost in regards to persuing a relationship.

      Now, seven years later I am 37, and while I may be great working with users and helping them with the office IT systems, I am still overweight and very unsure of myself with regards to relationships, especially sex, I have zero experience on that subject, and I do wonder if I would be able to find a woman who would have the patience with me learning in that department.

      I am not angry, I don’t blame anyone for this situation, and I can deal with the lonelyness, I don’t lead a bad life, I try to work on myself, I am working myself up to swimming 1km five times a week get in better shape, I have hobbies, I enjoy photography (nature, planespotting, transportation and general infrastructure)

      I would like to meet someone, but I am able to deal with being alone.
