It's a really tough one @henrydominic4. We can't help much with the dating sides of things but I hope being part of the community can help you feel a bit less lonely.

Are there any dating agencies near you, or websites that you could use to try and find some companionship?

You could also see if there are any befriending services near you who might be able to visit for a chat so you don't feel so alone. Age UK can sometimes help with befriending: https://www.ageuk.org.uk/services/befriending-services/

But if you type your local area and 'befriending' into a search engine there might be some other services near you.
