Alone in the universe?

Having so much extra time on my hands since I've not been working, I think I have too much time to think about stuff. I've recently become aware that I am very lonely these days. Haven't dated anyone in a while...maybe it's time. After the last fiasco of a relationship a couple of years ago, I haven't put myself on the market since. Afraid of getting burned again, I guess...suppose I oughta brush off a few pick up lines and get out there.

God, I hate dating!! You are not yourself because both of you are trying so hard to impress the other person!
