I don't think you are messed up at all! Just because you never had the opportunity to date when you were younger doesn't mean you have nothing to give. In some ways that might be a nice thing because you won't have any expectations going into a new relationship. As for giving up on women and becoming a hermit.. I'd say you might want to wait on that plan until you are in your 50's. 30's are young! Women today are getting married later and waiting to have their children. You shouldn't give up because you never know what kind of amazing woman you could meet. And just because you don't have any relationship experience doesn't mean a woman is going to think you are gay or weird. The best part about dating is getting to know someone and I'm sure you will find a really special woman who will completely understand what you have been through. Never give up on love. Maybe you'll find it when you least expect it :)

Something you can do from home would be ideal. I sell Avon; it is slow going but that's my own fault for being lazy. If you live in a big city the potential for earning a ton of money is HUGE and it really isn't that much work. Plus you get discounts on all their stuff....and it's really excellent-quality stuff, far better than it was 10 or 15 years ago!! You have 2 options with Avon. You can either be a sales rep, which is what I am, or you can be in leadership. As a rep you pretty much "just" sell Avon products. If you are in leadership your job is to sign other people up to sell Avon, and they will be members of your team. The more members your team has, the higher you climb on the ladder. Leadership is a bit more work but it is also more profitable. It's good for a more ambitious woman. Check it out!

There are companies that hire call center agents (customer service reps) who can work from their homes, provided they have a broadband connection and a good PC. However, you must have childcare for during the time you are working, because if the company hears a crying child in the background of a customer call, you're out. It's good, though, because you can sign up for the shifts you need and be flexible with your hours.

There are a lot of scams out there. Go with legitimate companies only: WestatHome.com, Convergys.com, Arise.com, InfoCision.com, LiveOps.com, AlpineAccess.com. They should all have info on their Web sites about applying for home rep positions.

Here is something you can try.

Download a freeware called "CompuDiary" Its a calendar software and they are testing a freeversion of it and it is hosted on many freedownload sites including download.com

They need people to work on a business model they have advertised on that software. Contact the developers and check whether you can associate with them.

Web design. You could work at home.

Don:

Me and hubby has a website and he does most of the work on it but I'll be studing online so I can be more involved in the process.

It won't make you rich but from talking with some designers(professional) who works at home, it's not to bad and you can earn a decent living from it.

Jobs in the computer industry are probably best right now. You could go for web design or information technology. You can start up a home-based consulting business after you get the training.

well depending upon what area you live.

real estate....owned a property management company the money...stunk at first..then it got good...then damn good

hours were between 20-60 they varied based upon end/start of the month and how many units were vacant.

80% of the time I made my own hours

few times that thing over lapped I took the kid with me...she is accutally a pretty good saleman..."this is the kitchen...check out the backyard!"

this can be done with just about any self employee company...

i'm a medical assistant and i think that's a really smart career choice. it only takes about one year of school. and you can usually work in a doctor's office which are usually closed on holidays and weekends.
