Today, my love life comes down to a choice in loneliness: I can either be alone, because I never meet anyone these days, let alone an interesting guy. Or, I can go back to my ex, who I left because he made me feel alone while sitting right next to him. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when I’m alone I suffer from crippling loneliness that makes me cry, yet when I have people around me or I try to go on dates, I hate it so, I make excuses to be alone again. FML
Today, I'm so hopelessly lonely that I've agreed to meet up with my ex for some semblance of friendship. FML
Today, finally accepting the fact that the love of my life has moved on, I took myself to a movie, alone, on a Saturday night. After buying the last ticket to a sold out movie and trying to find the only open seat in the dark, I sit down... right next to my ex-best friend AND my ex-fiancé. FML
Today, I need to know whether it's better to be in a relationship in which I'm not loved and have no intimacy, or live on my own with no family or friends. if I were alone though, I could live in my underwear and eat cereal for dinner if I wanted to. FML
Today, I realized I will never find love again. I broke down after I finally realized that no woman will love me like I used to be loved. I have not dated anyone for almost 10 years. I try to go on dates, to no avail. I will forever be alone and I will forever be tortured by my loneliness. FML
Today, I'm so lonely that I actually convinced myself it was by choice. FML
Today, I'm single again, after my now ex attacked my best friend out of jealousy, forcing me to choose between 25 years of friendship and 3 months of a relationship. FML
Today, I found out that the woman I could fall in love with is dating a friend of mine. I think I will end up alone, and die alone. FML
Today, I realized that everytime I get close to a guy, they either straight up friendzone me, or they string me along the talking stage until they find someone else. The holidays are coming up. This will be yet another year spending it alone without that special someone. FML
Today, I once again listened as the girl I've loved for the past three years ranted about how she’s gonna be single forever and give up on dating. She asked, “Isn’t there one guy out there, just ONE GUY who will love me and cherish me?” When I brought up that I, once again, would love to do so, she rejected me; AGAIN. FML

Being alone is still better than feeling alone with someone (because then you can't fart freely).

Don’t go back to the guy who doesn’t value you. The surest way to ensure you never meet anyone who actually can have a meaningful relationship with is to waste your time with someone who has no future with you. Branch out your social network is ways that help you meet more guys who might share hobbies or values and maybe you’ll find someone. But with you ex, I promise you you never will.

It's easy to find interesting, attractive people online. They are usually scammers who steal photos from Instagram. They are great company for a few days or weeks until they ask for an Amazon or Steam gift card or emergency medical expenses. Then move on and go to the next.

Don't be ridiculous. OP's female, so she's got better odds meeting a creep who will ask to sniff her dirty socks. If that doesn't qualify as "interesting", I don't know what does. Plus, she can charge for the socks and make some extra cash to buy wine for her lonely evenings.

My parents got divorced when I started college. They got remarried a few years later “for the children (I am the oldest)” and because Mom’s intended romance didn’t work out. That lasted a few years and they got divorced again. My take away from that was “If I have to make mistakes let them be new mistakes not a repeated mistake.” Don’t go back to someone when that relationship just didn’t work for you - That would just repeat a mistake and you know how that inevitably ends. (When you are actually in a relationship try to make it work if possible, but don’t repeat old mistakes.) It’s not easy getting back into the dating world and the longer it’s been since you were dating the more difficult it will be to readjust. Look where the odds of finding a compatible person are greatest for you. If you have an interest that men would also find interesting then that’s one starting place. Online can be brutal at times, but sometimes it works out for you - I met my wife on Match.com. Don’t give up and don’t be desperate - It takes time. Try to enjoy things that interest you meanwhile…
