On first reading, it may seem like Eridanos was being harsh. But if you take a second read, and really look at what he was saying- I think all the advice is there. It may be said in a harsh way, but sometimes when a person is wallowing in self pity- he needs a hard kick just to get him back on the right track.
Some might not respond too well to that kind of tough love, but really 35? That is not really old. And definitely not the age where you are panicking about whether you will be alone forever or not. What happens when you hit 40 and are alone? Or 50? Will you just feel your life is worthless because you don't have any significant other? You have friends, you have family you have your dog. There's a lot life has given you- focus on that first and not on what you lack.
My last bit- keep trying to find someone- but realize that life is what you make of it. You can be happy and single. Enjoy yourself, make yourself interesting, and you just may find the right person.
