I'm pretty much the same way. I prefer to be by myself all of the time. I could go days or weeks without speaking to anyone. I guess I just find my own company to be more entertaining than that of other people. I have no real life friends and I have been single for about 6 years now. (I'm 24)
It wasn't something I planned, but just sort of happened; I just gradually distanced myself for the other people in my life, although I'm still very close to my family. As far as dating and such goes, I haven't been in a situation where it was remotely possible to meet someone in years. Not unless you count the grocery store. I just don't really see a point in it right now. I don't want to get married and I never want kids and I don't feel lonely, so how would I benefit from being in a relationship? I'm sure If I should ever start to long for a companion, I would be able to change that. But for now, I don't see it happening any time soon.
There are many, many unique people in the world and you will find both extremes almost everywhere you go. There are people like myself, who prefer solitude and there are people who are the complete opposite and crave the company of others. Neither is good or bad but it's really quite interesting to think about.
I'm alone primarily because I'm gay and live in a small town. I can't express enough how bad of a combination that is, lol. No gay bars, etc. I checked online dating for kicks, and the nearest gay guy my age is like 50 miles away. Unfortunately, that's what happens due to how most gays and lesbians migrate to larger metropolitan areas for this exact reason.
If only job weren't so good--I'd pack up and leave. :/
Seriously I wish I could be forever alone but I've got people sticking up to me all the time. Sometimes they make me feel like I am the center of the universe. At work when new people come in they always fucking befriend me first even when I don't say a damn thing. I get along with alot of people, I don't talk alot often not at all or just making growlings or meh sounds or nodding.
I've got a girlfriend, girls at work are flirting with me seriously (and its getting annoying). Yet I don't care, doesn't mean I wouldn't risk my life to save other's life that I would but I don't wanna know what your stupid cat did -_- i'm alergic to the cute little bugger.
I envy you loners, all my life I've had to pick between circles of friends (which I never did pick sides). I've used time up on alot of people that could'ave been spent with my bestfriends and whenever I want alone time, it never happens some old friend decide to show up for some X reason.
I can't bring myself to be asshole enough to turn down people. I did pretty horrible things but people just see the good things in me. It feels like I could shoot someone in the leg with a gun and still be friends. I've stolen, lied but loyal mostly in relationships.
I'd say this to you guys, stop worrying so much about being a loner then maybe you won't be. Do the things you wanna and have to do even if alone and eventually you'll do it with someone be it friend or more without much effort. keep honest, sometimes it shocks people when I tell them I don't care about their dogs but I think they prefer to know so that they talk to me about other things I'm more confortable about and not pretending to.
I've had 2 love interests in the past, one had no interest in me and the other wanted someone else. Ever since then I've kinda not bothered looking until I've finished education and gotten myself a good lifestyle and a job etc. I am kinda happy at the moment not being with someone, as I think that being with someone while still in education will probably effect me even more than my hobbies do.
I do hope to find someone eventually though Although speaking of which, there is someone amongst my friend group who I really like but haven't asked yet, she might've caught on though but I'm unsure.

Exactly this, it really isn't hard to get a girl. Just be confident. Women will look more at your attitude and confidence than your looks..well, normally. If you know how to talk to a girl and play it cool...you could look like chewbacca and get girls that look like models. I shit you not.
And I may as well post a pic up as well XD. http://i48.tinypic.com/9ia0hw.jpg From last year.
I am certain that I am a "forever alone". I will copypaste what I wrote in that "do you have a special someone" thread, or whatever it is called.
"Being as nonsocial as I am, I chose the "Forever alone ;-;" option. Had a "FWB" for a couple weeks before she got with someone, and we lost contact. *shrug* That was many many years ago (12 or so, back in college). Tried an online relationship, she ended up lying about a few things, so that ended.
I am basically a shut-in with no social life whatsoever, except for my "guild" in LotRO. I have no real friends except for one way over in PA, but he's a dude and I don't swing that way (neither does he). Of course, being a 31-year-old fairly overweight (50 lbs) unemployed nerd in an inbred tiny POS town, doesn't exactly give much in the way of prospective mates. My social life ended back in 1999 (for the most part) when I graduated high school.
I am sure that I will end up being a "crazy dog dude" instead of a crazy cat lady. Already working on that, as I have 4. And I am sure I will get flak for this part, but it also doesn't help that my parents are living in my house paying all the bills. I guess that's what I get for moving out and getting my own place after only working at the casino boat for a year, thinking I would still be there to this day. And I don't see my situation improving at all, and I am sure I will be royally fucked hard when my parents are no longer alive... I am ---] [--- that close to packing up a couple bags and start walking so I can finally get out of this hell hole of a town.
So yeah, forever alone ;-; At first it was by choice, but as I grow older, I feel like it probably wasn't the best choice."
Oh, and by saying "50 pounds overweight", I am 5'10" and 240 pounds (for the non-americans, that's about 109kg, and about 1.78m in height according to an internet conversion website). I am a hairy bastard with horrible teeth (because I never got in the habit of brushing my teeth at a young age). And I am apparently repulsive to look at, except when it comes to gay men, who somehow seem to be very attracted to me. Not sure what it is. If I was gay, I am almost completely certain I would not be "forever alone", and would have had many relationships or just a really long single relationship.
Edit: And since others are doing so, http://i.imgur.com/PLyWl.jpg <-- not exactly the best, but that's me interacting with my younger sister's daughter.

Yep. I was raised by my mother and her sister. Both are extremely evil, stupid and quite insane. While I know in my head that not all women are like this, I can never bring myself to enjoy the company of a woman, relax around a woman or trust a woman. I wish I was gay, alas, it's not a choice.
I knew this girl, about 5'5, 120lbs ish. Extremely gorgeous, a girl I'd give anything to be with. Big ole booty, nice breasts, hour glass waist, flat stomach (she works out). Seriously, the whole package. She only dated really fat hairy guys. Like tall, beer bellied, hairy mofos. That was her thing. She said she loved the big belly ontop of her and loved how it felt when the hair rubbed her skin. That was what she always pictured "a real man to look like".
This is all true. She showed me that there's someone out there for everyone. Don't give up bro. If gay guys find you attractive, you'll find a chick that will as well. As for your financial situations, things will look up. I'm sure you have some plans set in stone.
Every person complaining about looks in this thread is ridiculous. Like a previous poster said, if anyone writes you off on looks, they are not worth your time.
I was seriously disappointed reading 10 pages of this to find only find fine-looking people who probably have a lot to offer to the world and in a relationship. .
Internet rule #531: If you call somebody ugly on the internet, you must post your mug shot (don't have one, make one) to justify your good looks over the person you called ugly. No hats, sunglasses, hoodies, myspace angles, or anything that obscures your face.
Tell them that rule, and if they won't follow it then they're the uglier one!

And I'm sure you do yourself an injustice, too. Also you know the thing is people always focus on their bad sides.
Little story. I have a good friend who I finally met IRL. He warned me before he's really ugly, blahblah, listed all his shortcomings. He's a dude and I'm a girl, by the way, to clarify.
You know what? He was a great guy. Sure, he was not a topmodel. But is that what a girl's looking for? Or anyone? You think 'we' spend our time nitpicking on all the shortcomings you hate yourself for every morning in the mirror? No, I saw awesome things. I told him about a few. Some he never realized. Some were things he hated about himself but I thought extremely awesome. And this is aside from his personality, which gave his whole appearance and attitude an extra flair.
Arguably to me the last is the most awesome. From your picture, I don't see anyone ugly. I don't see much, either, but from what I see, I just see an average guy that based on looks I see no reason to turn down. Now, however, if you come off as desperate (how's that supposed to make a girl feel 'special', huh, when she feels like she's 'last resort' instead?), or extremely awkward (some awkward is cute, some shy is, but too much and you'll do yourself an injustice), it'll be a different story.
As it happens I like my men a bit more firm, and hairy can't go wrong, too. But they shouldn't be cowering in shyness. I like it when guys appear a bit more powerful, or well, that's probably not the right word but it's late and I'm not a native speaker. Not like physically powerful, but more in appearance, or attitude. I like a roaring laugh, like that. I like it when the dude really is "here", and not trying to melt away in the wall. That's me, other girls may love the shy figure. Or the small dude. And then, after that, comes looks, and by that time I probably will have stopped caring, because how you look is mostly determined on how you carry yourself.
There's nothing wrong with "fat", either. Jeez. People make it sound so disgusting. Stop making that the determining factor whether you're acceptable to a girl (or guy). I for one don't mind it at all, it gives a guy a certain presence no "worked out" guy can ever achieve. There's something wrong with extremely obese, but then you prolly should worry about your health instead of a girl.
Anyway, if you're insecure about things, the best way is to change them. Your teeth suck and you really feel insecure about them? See a dentist. You feel too fat? Work out a bit, follow a diet (not all are lame or based on starving yourself on overly healthy rabbitfood). And moreover, build some confidence, because in the end that's the only way you'll be able to show who you are to the outside world. Every morning look in the mirror and find at least 3 things you like about yourself. It can be anything. Do this every day!
Anyway... I bet most of you are handsome guys, but just have yet to find someone who dares tell them this!
Honestly, Gamdwelf, if you show that side of you more often, I guarantee you'll find a girl that thinks you're adorable. You could easily pull off a relationship if you show that amount of confidence. Girls like guys who can have fun like that and aren't all locked up inside their heads. I'm not going to bullshit you and say you're Brad Pitt, few people are, but confidence is very sexy to women. You've got potential.
