Personally, "falling in love" is something I leave for immature teenagers because they don't know shit about life and how people can be dicks, including those you like. To fall in love you have to ignore one's flaws or pretend they're not that bad.
I'm way too skeptical for this because everybody has flaws. I have mine to deal with and they're enough for me, I don't want, much less need to deal with anybody else's. Sometimes, I wonder what the fuck is a relationship good for? If feeling lonely is the issue, that's your, mine and our own problem. I mean, you don't have to pay for sex which is a good thing. Never had a relationship and I ended up giving up for good because it's too bothersome and lots of bullshit.
Find something to fill in the neediness like doing chores, listening to music or playing a guitar or watch something to distract yourself. Works for me. I end up not having time to be like >mfw no gf because that didn't do shit for me besides making me feel lonely and miserable.
