couldn’t possibly give an accurate response without immediately getting into graphic detail, but suffice it to say, it’s quite a thing

To be honest it’s pretty scary as I have no love and I’m getting older and the youngest in my family so facing the thought of growing old alone with no money and nowhere to live.

I’m going to need to stop reading Twitter/the news/any form of media if I ever want to have a love life again - it’s just too depressing right now.

#38

Yeah it’s great isn’t it

#39

No.

Been together for over 20 years now so it’s more just life tbh.

Compared to any TV show about young single women, my love life is a total desert. been single since June 2015 and I totally can’t relate to Sex and the City, Girls, even Fleabag… any TV show where women get dates at the drop of a hat. find it absolutely mad. but then I don’t live in a city (much easier access to young, single guys) or properly use dating apps, partly for similar reasons to the outrage in the old thread earlier today and partly because the whole concept doesn’t work for me anyway.

I have a friend with benefits and potentially another on the horizon. both live in Manchester, which is about to get way more expensive for me to travel to as my railcard runs out in 2 weeks :cry: at the moment I average seeing FWBs once a month - BUT dry spells are my most consistent contributor to poor mental health, so even one weekend per month has massively improved my state of mind and I’m more baseline happy than I’ve been for basically my entire adulthood.

I’ve also met the person I’ve always wanted to meet, and he’s magical. an absolute piece of me. he’s very clearly into me as well, but he has a very long-term girlfriend and I’m obviously not going to try and fuck that up. (I don’t think he would risk it anyway.) It’s kind of sad for me, but at the same time: if you’re going to meet the person of your dreams, it’s pretty nice to know they fancy you back even if it’s a hopeless situation. I’m not sure I’ll ever have that level of affinity with another person again though.

example situation:

if I liked someone on OKC, messaged her, she then liked me back, but she hasn’t responded to my message, should I maybe message again or just be like “nah, she ain’t interested” and continue with lyf

I never know what the intention is when they do that, it’s kinda annoying. If you care enough I’d just send a short message cos what’s the worst that can happen other than going on the sex offenders register

Been really apathetic about dating other people recently, which is weird cos my life is no less boring than it was (actually it’s more boring than it was, I was seeing a girl who was amazing and now I’m basically not for reasons that she isn’t able to articulate because of her mental health or something. And even seeing me or talking to me at all is out of the question, even though none of this bad stuff is about me. It’s very weird and I have no idea what’s going on).

Actually I think the parentheses stuff probably explained the whole apathy thing

It’s alright, still feel really lucky to have found someone who’s great and for some reason likes me. Longish distance though which i don’t mind ( especially as she lives somewhere i really like and have family there) but worried it will become longer distance soon. Really hard for her to find paid work in her field so she’s looking everywhere, I’m just drifting along and will try to move wherever she ends up at some point, feel like I’m just in a holding pattern in the meantime
