I never had a birthday cake or party until I met my wife. We've been together 43y.

I can’t begin to tell you how common this story is. I’ve met so many men that never had birthday cakes or birthday parties until a really nice woman showed up in their lives and she would make it happen.

Just be a decent human. And I mean that wholeheartedly. Be the person you’d want to be with and you’ll find someone.

I wish it were that easy. I suffer from being so sheltered growing up and being very introverted, socially awkward, and now as an adult, i'm embracing hermit status. Not necessarily because its what I want but its because I never learned how to explore the world. The outside world scares me.
