Congratulations on your newly found freedom!!! It’s a rollercoaster out here. 35F as well; never married. Know what you’re looking for and be firm on your standards and what you’re looking for. And honestly jus have fun. Don’t think about whether they will like you but will YOU like them in your life. This has taken a lot of pressure off the first date.

Omg. Just stay single. Get really good girlfriends to provide you emotional support. Don't look to the men to do that. Lots of guys don't even do the bare minimum anymore.
