Sounds like you need some friends!

Even though I live alone, I see my friends and family all the time.

You should take advantage of having your own space to do what you want with, and try to reach out and host a movie night or something

Please be my friend!

You’re right, good friends and family can help fill that void. However it’s still not really the same to me. Friends and family can only do so much, romantic love is something I miss. Plus when you’re truly a full partner with someone, that’s more than friends or even family. Ideally speaking, a life partner shares fully in everything. They wholly invest in your life together and you’re both on the hook together whether it’s financial or day to day. You could maybe even say that about a really amazing best friend but that’s still lacking romantic love. It’s obvious we value different things on this, I respect that.
