So many singles around, so little connection

A friend, girl, single, asked me if I knew single men, I, single, guy said none that would interest her and asked in turn,
if she knew any serious reliable women,
looking for something more than just some fun, she said she'd look around and check
but that I shouldn't count my unhatched chickens and she wouldn't make promises she'd have to break, to, just like that, we're back to square one!
The gaggle of single guy friends that I have, all look for interesting female friends to make, time is running low, they tell me, it's the time to jump though which hand they'd hold together for the move, is clear to none.
Water, water all around, said that guy, not a drop to drink, and one wonders if he meant the liquid, or the nudge, the wink, the flirtations and the partnerings the we are missing so, despite the abundance of the James and the Joe.
So many singles around and oh such little connection did people just forget to talk
or is there some fundamental obstructionism?
