"Jeremy Renner seems to have it all: two Academy Award nominations, a starring role in The Bourne Legacy, a handful of A-list pals.\r\nOne thing he doesn&amp;apos;t have? A girlfriend.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I never dated, because I couldn&amp;apos;t afford to date. I didn&amp;apos;t even have electricity. You try to put a positive spin on it, like, &amp;apos;Hey, this is so sexy -- look at all these candles!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Renner, 40, tells the December/January issue of Details. &amp;quot;But I loved what I was doing. The sacrifices I made in personal relationships had the biggest effect on my life. Even now, any woman would take a No. 2 seat to my job.&amp;quot;\r\nRenner&amp;apos;s longest relationship occurred in his twenties and lasted five and a half years. He decided not to propose because he didn&amp;apos;t view himself as a solid provider.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;&amp;apos;What the hell are you doing next week, motherf-cker, let alone 40 years from now?&amp;apos;&amp;quot; he asked his then-love. &amp;quot;&amp;apos;And are you willing to wipe my ass when we get old?&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\nThat&amp;apos;s not to say Renner hasn&amp;apos;t given love a shot since then. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;ve been a handful of girls over the last years,&amp;quot; he admits. &amp;quot;But it&amp;apos;s been very difficult. How does it go any further?&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I have a wonderful life, but it means nothing if it cannot be shared. That&amp;apos;s all I&amp;apos;m missing right now. It&amp;apos;s a little unbalanced for me,&amp;quot; the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol star tells Details. &amp;quot;Right now the only thing consistent in my life is that little dog. That&amp;apos;s why I got it. I was getting really lonely. I needed somebody or something to be there with me through the whole journey.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
