I replied before on the basis that I AM your Will. I would not try to change him but realize what he has with his (only) friend of 20 yrs. But if he wants to pursue that it's only going to be harder to find if he isn't in situations that allow him to connect to a similar person. The other thing is have you ever read about being an introvert? Your question about if you should continue to look at campers even if you'll never get one may be unrelated to his not being socialable. That is if he had a couple more relationships, would that make him happy? Has he told you that? My son has few friends and I realize that the reason for that is (unlike me who also has few friends) is that he's a classic introvert. If Will thinks he'd welcome more companionship that might be accomplished by finding the most natural way that exists now and develop a strategy he'd be willing to put into place that would expose him to another he might connect to. The other thing is he might find satisfation volunteeering at an assisted living facilty or some place where simple interactions with people give him some fulfillment and mutual satisfaction that can replace chasing something that might never happen?.
