I wrapped my life around my wife and now that she has left me, I don't
know what to do. So I vegetate in front of the t.v.
Is this all I have to look forward to?
I'm 46, at best average looking, and too shy to play the dating scene.
What possible romantic future can I possibly have, especially since I
still love my wife. Even if I wasn't such a stumbler around the ladies,
I have way too much baggage. Any woman with half a brain would run away
screaming. I'm scared to death that I have nothing but loneliness
awaiting my entire future.

i have a theory that when single people really want to be in a relationship,
they very quickly find themselves in one. people who stay single do it by
choice, and even though catcalls of protest rise from assembled single
humanity whenever i say this in public, i still think it's true.
my other theory has to do with being "too shy to play the dating scene."
basically, everybody is shy about playing the dating scene, but some let
that stop them and some don't. and almost everybody older than 40 is
average-looking or worse. after the blush of youth has fled, what we look
for in each other is the inner light that transfigures our aging exteriors
and makes us desirable at every age. although good grooming and a certain
amount of muscle tone can't hurt.
anyway, it's probably not a good idea to try to get into a new relationship
while you're still carrying a torch for your ex. i suggest you just relax
and let things take their course. maybe you need to spend more some time
vegging in front of the tube. maybe it's part of your grieving process. when
you're in a time of change, the last thing you're likely to do well is
predict the future from what's happening in the present.

Friends, male or female? Do you do anything, or go anywhere to meet new
people? Some women would find you a safer option, as you're still
fixated on your wife. I have found it easier to make women friends than
men.

The opinions given above may be mine. They might also
just be what I feel like saying right now, okay?

Same here, except that I've never had a wife to "wrap my life around".

I have similar feelings. I'm not only shy, but my social phobia prevents me
from even establishing casual friendships with other people. Taking away
the anxiety with enough meds doesn't help either, because I simply have no
clue what to do.
Welcome to the club. You could get a pet millipede or two to keep you
company...

do you have interests or hobbies that might be in common with
others? join a club, or volunteer organization, take an adult
ed class. increase your support system in general, which you
can only do by being around like-minded people. make new
friends. they'll introduce you to others. you might well find
a woman with things in common with you who's also starting
over. and if you have a common interest, it's easy to take
things slowly.
just an idea.
