Lost.

Hey guys, I've never posted on a forum like this before, so this is my first go at it.
I'm a 34 year old guy. Until February I was in a committed, serious relationship. I live in Houston, and my ex is originally from Michigan. To get to the point, we had been together for several months when out of necessity she moved back to Michigan in December. We remained together, though, and I even visited her. But shortly after I returned, she ended our relationship, saying that it was hard to see me leave knowing that we wouldn't see each other for a long time and given the fact that she wouldn't be moving back and I wouldn't be moving up there. We continued talking quite a bit until here recently, but not so much anymore.

Again, I'm 34. I'm not getting any younger. I still feel pretty down about the break up, but feel even more depressed about the prospect of finding love again. This process is painful, first getting to know someone, then dating and moving from one stage of dating to another, then falling in love... then it ends, and one has to deal with the stages of grief, I guess.

I have no children, never been married. Both of my sisters are married with children, and my younger brother is married. Several of my friends are in serious relationship or married. Some have kids.

It just feels hopeless.

Age has nothing to do with anything. I got divorced at the age of 39 and then found somebody. It is not the end.
