How to deal with impatience and loneliness?

[Promise]

The past few days I've really been craving intimacy, to the point where I feel an intense yearning pretty much all day long.  I've been getting out a bit more, speaking to people, but I don't really see a relationship forming any time soon.  I'm going to keep on the straight and narrow, successfully pursue my reboot, work on being more sociable, but in the meantime, does anyone have any tips on how better to weather loneliness and horniness without going crazy?

Get busy filling the time with bettering yourself.  A lot of ppl suggest working out.  I'd imagine filling the void with any self betterment would be a good outlet though.

I'm thinking this probably occurs mostly in the evening.
The fitness route is definitely a popular alternative.
It all depends on what you like to do.
Any goals or anything you wanted to do but kept pushing it aside.
A home improvement perhaps?

That's some good advice, I'll definitely give it some thought.  Working long hours keeps my mind off it, been working out more, too!

working out and socializing all the time, subscript to meet up and go to as many groups you like as possible. You get to socialize, you get to meet people, you get to meet girls, you get occupied.

What Eidan said + try to do all the things you earlier didn't have the time or the will to do: housework, chores, pick up a hobby, construct something, demolish something, paint, play an instrument, go to a knitting course, sports -  anything to get you of your ass and self improve.
During my month in reboot, this is exactly what I've been doing, minus the socialisation (married, have a kid, so my free time is rather limited). Two weeks ago I painted a fence that didn't really need a fresh coat of paint. I mow the lawn, do carpentry work, play my guitar, catch up on work, etc...

Basically, whenever I get the feeling of weakness, I go do shit.

You don't see it, until it just happens.
Meanwhile be patient, keep your eyes open and find new enjoyment in single life. When you are single you got a lot more freedom to just do random stuff whenever it suits you.

I'm in the same situation as you...  Loneliness and craving intimacy.  I feel kind of lame saying things like that, but your not alone.  For me it's part of withdrawal.  Normally I'm content being alone. 


Working out is great for you in this situation.  I don't right now because I have low energy and muscle weakness from withdrawal. My energy is so low, I can't lift effectively.  Every rep is horrible.  It feels like getting out of bed in the morning after 3 hours sleep. 


Impatience sucks man, it take so damn long.    All you can do is avoid PMO and keep yourself comfortable.  Just gotta wait for your brain to do it's thing.
