I know, it's a bit of a hypocritical thing for a married man to say. But...you don't need to hinge your happiness on a relationship, because that would make the partner feel responsible for your mood. Which is a VERY good way to sabotage a relationship.
So, get comfortable in being happy alone. Whether it be something silly that brings you joy, like saturday morning cartoons like you were a kid. Or hiking, or bowling, or whatever.
Do what bring you joy, regardless of pressure from elsewhere.
Those are exactly the kinds of things that can turn it around.
Guys, forget about nonsense like pickup lines. That is all a bunch of hooey.
Work on one's self inside and out and do things exactly like the original list.
In time, one will improve enough that if perhaps they went out on Saturday, the things they did all week before that will set it into stone. Before they have even set foot out of the house they are going to be on a completely different trajectory.
Before they have met anybody for any social reasons it really was decided before it ever started.
Boredom makes you do a lot of stupid things, whether you're a man or woman
For a long time young adults have been socially pressured to be married and have kids by early 20's, to the point it's caused extreme anxiety/distress if they haven't.
Taking time to work on oneself, or enjoy their hobbies, without hyperfixation of "finding the one" can overall help not just center oneself, but help prevent sabotaging a future relationship.
It's a very unhealthy and self destructive mindset.
This is all good advice for anybody regardless of loneliness or gender.
