Craving Men

I am bored and lonely and a bit depressed and I'm craving men.  I want to go on a date or have a man tell me I'm pretty or get hugged or kissed.  This I know that I cannot have right now so what do I do instead?
Why am I so lost without a man to focus on? 
I don't have any friends.  I have acquaintances and people to hang with but no one who I can really talk to.  My family is useless in this way, as well as they are never around so it's just me and my kids .. A LOT.  Not that my kids aren't entertaining and time consuming because they are but I crave adult companionship.  I crave excitment.  Everything seems so drab and boring to me. 
I guess these men getting back in contact opened up the floodgates again.  I'm teetering on my fragile bridge of self-sufficiency.  I just don't know what to do when I am feeling this way.  I know it is sort of victim - loserish thinking but I can't seem to snap out of it.
I can't figure out what is wrong with me these days and I HATE it.  I don't want to go to a man to fix this feeling because it never works but I wish I knew what direction to take or what to focus on to get me out of it.
Exciting things are supposed to happen on Saturday night and all I have to look forward to is laundry!
