While I understand being picky and having certain expectations and desires, I don't understand how at 32, you've never been able to maintain a relationship or date for longer than the blink of an eye. Not that everyone has to be in a relationship, but most people such as yourself who want a relationship and love find someone they like, or try to at least, and then they find a way to make it work, and then they learn how to interact with each other and mature together and how to make comprimises and build a life and etc. and everything else necessary for a normal, healthy relationship. You say you want a relationship, and with some 7 billion people tripping over each other on this planet, surely you could meet a handful of guys that would make at least for some interesting dates or potential partners?

Seriously guys and gals, if you are dating someone who is older than say, late teens to mid 20's, and they were to tell you they have "never dated or had a relationship," that is kind of a red flag - as in - has this person been sheltered in their parent's basement the last 32 years? Does this person lack the maturity for a relationship? Are they unwilling to commit? Are they deathly afraid of intimacy? Are they emotional cripples? Are they total psychos and they scare off their partners super quick? Seriously, I've never known a man or women to not see this sort of thing as a problem out on the dating and singles scene. Not that I am saying that something is wrong with you, but I do think something might be wrong with you. Surely there is someone you can date? Someone you like? Online dating? Have you tried anything? Are you socially awkward? Maybe it is your personality. Are you kind of boring? Even then, most people tend to find someone they can love and be with together.

I dunno, but adopting a child as a 32 year old virgin just sounds desperate, and like it might be the nail in the coffin to your attempts at romance and love. More importantly, are you even being honest with yourself? Why do you even want a child? Being that you've never known romantic/relationship love, are you just adopting this child to fill the void? Is this poor child going to become the misplaced object of your affection, since you admittedly can't find a partner to love and be loved by? What if you put all your pressure and desire and love onto this one child, and smother them, and then one day they will leave you and you will be left with an empty nest. These are serious questions that deserve serious reflection.
