At a crossroads in my life - advice appreciated

Having only read the opening post, I can relate to this feeling.
I'm in early 30's (with fertility issues), single and not quite happy in my job. I want to re-train (and accept I may have to start with a low salary) and get a nice partner (where and how I do not know especially as I'm reluctant to do internet).
I do have a few friends and try to go out but now that I have my own flat, whatever we do must be cheap (went for a picnic this weekend for example). My going out has reduced a lot and will reduce again once I decide what I want to re-train in. I honestly don't see how I would ever be in a position to meet someone let alone try for a family in a few years.
Anything is possible AubreyMac. I believe that you just have to be open to it. But, I appreciate it's not always a simple as that. For me it's about taking the little steps e.g socialising more (doesn't have to cost much) and believing that I deserve good things (e.g. partner, family life etc) and allowing good things into my life.
Re-training sounds like a good plan as this will also include meeting new people and new opportunities.0
