I am useless at flirting, and recognising flirting,
and far too proud to ever consider dating events/websites.

Thus I will die a lonely man. Happiness is accepting this state of affairs as unalterable, and giving up.

Like hell it is.
What I think you're describing is sadness. I'm terrible at flirting and recognising someone flirting with me. I've been single for about eight years and haven't had sex for three, but by Grabthar's hammer I'm not giving up hope yet. I've seen people in their fourties, fifties, sixties and seventies find true love, or even just a companion, and I'll never stop believing that I'll find someone.

Some people are just doomed to be alone.
You're right to accept it.

What's this 'doomed' business?
Once you accept it, it's remarkably liberating. Like realising you're never going to be a millionnaire, so stopping caring about it.
