Put bluntly, I doubt you'll attract guys if you yourself don't feel theres much in your life.
I volunteer about 10 hours a week, and sure thats one way to get friends, but crucuially to make you more interesting and have something to chat about with people.
Aim for getting friends first and following your career goals, then the man normally follows naturally with that.
You need to assess why you're lonely. Commonly with nice people like yourself, they're lonely because they don't get respect from others. Being nice is good, but sometimes can seem fake, as not everyone is top notch 100% of the time. SO you need to win peoples respect-sometimes it's ok to be a bit hacked off with people publicly, at least it shows your just like them!
If you try to forget about the man part, and find other areas in your life that make you happy, a guy will turn up when least expected.
Remember, there are always charities out there who help lonely people-your not as alone as it may seem.

After you have volunteered for a few months, Try applying. You have to put yourself out there as nobody is going to come and knock on your door. If you want to make friends then try being friendly and talk to people. A good spot for singles is a coffee shop or your local cafe. Try dog walking and hitting up the parks, Even dating sites are not all bad. Maybe someone knows someone? For example, Do you have any cousins around your age? Perhaps they have friends and those friends have friends?... Get involved! For a job, Try looking in the local paper. There is always something out there [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
