Keep it going. There are genuinely nice people out there to have a relationship with. I only encountered my wife at a later age (she was turning 50) and she had a miscarriage, so kids are not going to happen for us (and we're fine with that).

But you can meet new people, even at your age. I never had any meaningful relationship either before I met her.
