In the approximately 16 years of my dating life, I have had 6 long term relationships and have been engaged once. The relationships have lasted between 6 months and 4 years. When I see that in writing, it seems like I've had a decent run but it sure feels like I've been single and alone for most of my life. My last relationship ended almost 2 years ago when I found him cheating on me. I was all sorts of livid and hurt and it seems that it's taken me almost this long to get over it. Am I over it? Do you ever really get over a rug pull like this? I think I need to get into another relationship before I can fully answer that. Another relationship...how do I find that?
I am a self-employed gal who works mostly at home and with kids at their homes. Days can go by where my only company is my own, the checkout person at the grocery store and teenagers. I spend my mornings working out at a ladies only gym and I have two adorable cats. Not a lot of room to meet men, huh? Oh, and did I mention that a good chunk of my friends are gay men - I live in the gay part of town which I LOVE but doesn't really open it up to meet eligible men at the bank on the corner. So, what do I do?
This seems to be the question of my life right now - where do you meet a nice, single man when you're a thirty-something gal?
You are not alone, trust me! haha. I look forward to reading your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to your blog, I wish you well with it. My best advice is to really know the sort of person you want and to be sure that you're emotionally ready to welcome someone new into your life.
ReplyDeleteAge, looks, size - none of that matters when you're ready to find someone you'll send out the vibes. You'll be attracted to places where you'll meet new friends.
Stress less, laugh more - works every time.
Good luck in your search!
thanks ladies, for the encouraging words. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly no expert on meeting men, lol, but I have had some luck in getting dates when I go to places that men typically go to. I'm not suggesting going to a sports bar if you absolutely hate and are clueless about sports. But it was worth it to me to assess my interests and started to pursue activities where the population of men was higher. I wanted to learn more about property and real estate investment and I ended up meeting a guy at a commercial real estate investment seminar. Learning to play golf was on my “bucket list” and I ended up meeting a guy while taking golf lessons....
ReplyDeleteIt’s worth a shot and you have nothing to lose..especially if you choose activities that you are already interested in.
Good luck and I look forward to reading more of your blog!
