Ouch. That's a rough one, Red. I've always found the 'plenty of fish' platitude, while not untrue, to be more painful than not. Know that you are a wonderful person, and have plenty to offer to a partner, once the right one crosses your path. Loneliness is hard to bear, and yeah, Friday nights are tough for it.
Shame about the lesbian thing though. Damn.
ATM: Wistful. I'm alone, and while I don't mind that, I do wish that one of a couple choice somebodies were here with me to share a cup of tea and conversation, maybe a cuddle and a film. But, they aren't. So I'll have tea alone, and that's okay too. I guess.
