Look. It's not as bad as you think. It's really not. Depression has a funny way of twisting things around and making it all seem like it's something it's really not. Trust me. The way you're perceiving this isn't the way it really is.
Do you know how many guys have this very same problem? It's a lot. I personally know at least a dozen, including even myself. There are so many people out there, and you're not the only one going through this experience. I'm not going to say that someone may one day give you the affection you so desire as a way to lessen the pain. I'll say it because I personally know several guys who are just as lonely as you are, and would jump at the opportunity to be with someone, no matter their faults.
You're not going to be alone forever, provided that you don't choose to be alone forever. There are actions you can take to increase your chances of quelling this loneliness, and I'm sure you know what those are. You just have to be open, socially active, and willing to take risks. Easier said than done, I know... but that's just it. That's where the problem lies.
The problem isn't that you're going to be alone forever. The problem is that someone will want to date you, love you, and someday marry you, but you haven't found that person. That's all this is. You just haven't found someone yet. If you want to find someone, you just have to look.
Keep in mind these are the words of a heterosexual male who just happens to be a single, 20 year old university student who would be more than willing to buy a girl lunch if she happened to be interested in me in even the slightest bit.
So everybody should be like you?
