Re: OP

[cloud_riven]

No, no, you make sense. Sure, it's very romantic to think about a sudden connection with someone, that it's in your gut, and then aim it all on The One, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with being selective about your potential dating pool. At the same time, I think you're putting a ton of intense expectations on dating that are very narrow and limiting in terms of even just allowing yourself to interact with others to gauge further.

Changing your personality and needs to be more "normal" isn't the answer either. Perhaps you just need more people around you that understand you and where you're coming from, if not someone similar to validate that you're fine.

Anon above has a good idea: Pick up hobbies that will get you in the midst of others, and even if you don't make friends, you still have something to talk about.
Volunteer at a festival/community/support if that rings with you, find a meetup for whatever it is you're interested in (nanowrimo, I think you said upthread?), just get out and do something. Socialise. And hey, OKC and other online dating things are out there. OKC in particular isn't just aimed at dating, but friends as well. Take some initiative and figure out what kind of lonely partnership compromise thing it is you want :)
