Lonely with no bf

I know the feeling; I've been where I am now for a little over a year and have no friends despite going out to play Magic the Gathering just about every Friday
 
Oh my god I traveled back in time! Too bad it's the weekend so I can't profit from knowing the future :(

I'll just repeat myself... there's a ton of guys here looking for a girlfriend. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Although you would be better off by finding a purpose other than "boyfriend". I don't think loneliness is a thing that comes from being alone, but something that comes from having a lack purpose and working towards your goals.
 
I'm not saying to do it or not do it, but if you stay single, you'll get used to it. I was lonely for a long time after I first started being single and now I've been single for four years and am not lonely at all. The things humans do best is whatever we've been doing.
 
This is probably not what you are wanting to hear, but after a while, I realized I only wanted a friend because everyone else had one. Then I thought about it, and analyzed the steps and energy and time that goes into a friendship, and I decided that I didn't want one. Basically, I am not lonely, and I'd rather spend my time elsewhere. I prefer to be alone. I am pursuing one friendship at the moment, but I stumbled upon this person by accident, and it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. Plus, she is super friendly and also has autism, so we get each other. But other than her, I don't want any friends.
I have a limited amount of energy, and have to be careful how I spend it. Also, our relationship is not romantic. I am not gay.
 
Let things happen as naturally as possible and focus on your interests. If you don't have a job, focus on improving your skills until you can get a job. This will help you as well. If you can't drive and don't live downtown, that could be another goal to work up to too.
