Still single.

I don't expect anything.

I would not say I'm done but I'm not driven to find any.

Too old to start over.

Once they raise their family and get divorced I think a lot of women are more than happy to remain single.

So 20% of men are good for sex and the remaining 80% can fade away.

Going through a depression thing and feeling sorry for myself but being realistic.

Up till about 55 years old I was full of optimism for all the possibilities.

- I trust no one.

- I keep attracting people who are in relationships (which doesn't help my trust issues), or

- I attracted people that see me as a dick with legs.

I also really have no time to date anyone, unless she's a nightshift nurse, as she'll understand that my lack of presence is due to shit schedule and not lack of interest.

I feel your pain. Been going through the same shit. I've gotten to a point now where I'm better off being kept to myself. If he comes, he comes

There’s still possibilities out there. I feel you. But if my stepmom found someone at 70 after my dad died, it’s always possible! Have hope 🙂

I’m old, and I don’t believe I’m too old to start over. Otherwise I would’ve never left my ex. I had to go through a lot of healing, personal growth and it took a long time. Then another love who hurt me badly so more time.. I did that while dating. Which on one hand, perhaps I would’ve been better alone. On the other hand, I needed to work on patterns, on what it looks like relating to others in a healthy way vs an unhealthy way.

I’d like to think I’m ready now but who knows til you try. I’ve spent a lot of time in this pandemic alone, slowing down, and figuring out what’s important. It was well worth it.

I truthfully could be alone but would rather have a partner to enjoy life with. Yes being vulnerable is very important. Also allowing people to be who they are is also important, and loving them even when things aren’t perfect. Because nothing is perfect.. but some situations are a lot better than others, and I will not be in an unhealthy situation again. I do love myself and am ok as I am. 🙂 it took awhile to get here, and that’s ok.
