Except that all the things I enjoy doing are solitary activities. (With 
the exception of snogging. You really need a partner for that...)

Well, I've tried all the things they recommand. Pubs and clubs aren't 
much fun, but I tried anyway. I tried taking evening classes; that 
didn't work. I used to ski regularly; everybody's too busy to chat 
though. I started taking dance lessons. It's quite fun, but I'm not 
really meeting people very much. Not sure what the hell to try next.
