Single and sort of happy

I am single. I like being single most of the time. I like being alone, most of the time. I own my house, I have a good job, I am in school I am happy for the most part, BUT
every once in a while, I want a significant other. Not often, usually when I am home and bored, it would be nice to have a person to chat with or not chat with (sorry bro, for that picture)
Here’s the problem. I don’t go out. That is a big issue when you want to meet someone. I mean I go out with friends, but I’m with friends, hanging out, having a good time, I’m not in the MEET SOMEONE mood. A friend of mine (guy friend, married to one of my oldest friends) said I come across as intimidating. I don’t think I do. I just know what I want, is that bad.
I’ve also been told that I’m smart and that isn’t good. Forgive me if I know that Canada is part of North America (yes, someone asked about 10 people that yesterday and I was the only one who knew the answer)
I’ve been told that if I’m not smiling, I’m not approachable. Now this I agree with, most likely- if I’m not smiling, it’s for 2 reasons
1 - I don’t want to be there but was forced – again -not conducive to meeting someone
2 – I don’t have my glasses on and can’t see so I am not actually not smiling – I am squinting.
I’ve tried personals and that – not for me. They work for other (bro and sil, I’m blaming you for this) people
I’ve tried dating services (match.com and the like, again not for me) I keep trying H-Earmoney – but it’s like eleventy billion pages and I am just not that into it.
Anyone know a nice, employed, 40-45 y/o single guy who doesn’t smoke.
If so - let me know. (and Robin – shut up- I know what you are thinking)
