Yes there is hope. There is always hope. I find that getting off my phone, and going to my favorite places like a coffee shop, the museum, or zoo brighten up my day. Take care, and don’t lose hope :)
I met my partner when he was 40 and I was 35. It took a while for me to be ready for him. I had to leave my city to get over my previous relationship and be in a place where I could meet people. I was single for 4 years. And I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find him and I was very intentional about my search—I set goals for how many dates I would go on each week (coffee dates are most efficient and conducive to my early to rise lifestyle), I used a spreadsheet to decide what I wanted (hint: it was not the military crossfitter with chiseled abs or square jawline). And at points when I was ready to give up, I decided to try to be happy for myself and for the person I would meet. It was most unexpected when I did meet him and having a clear understanding of what I wanted life to look like and what my values were helped us come together quickly. I had to move across the country for him and I’m glad I did. Best of luck to you and lots of hugs
Thank you. I just feel like giving up. Part of it is I moved out of central downtown to an actual neighborhood and I’m surrounded by couples and families now and it’s magnifying the loneliness. There are a lot of gay couples nearby who want me as a 3rd, but no one wants me as their own 😞 and I feel like there’s not many options at my age. Maybe I need to be open to other geographic areas.
I met the love of my life at 38. You’re not far from that. Be open, try coffee dates with many (an easier and cheaper way to quickly find out if you might like someone), do things you enjoy with others (a great way to meet friends and friends of friends). No need to lose hope - there is absolutely someone for everyone out there.
Just keep an open mind. Everything happens when it is supposed to happen.
You got no friends to hang out with in weekends?
Yes but not last weekend. I don’t drink anymore so that permanently altered my friends and social life a couple years ago. I have plans tomorrow night but nothing tonight.
