most of us die alone. but i was perpetually single up until 44. i realized after a few years of therapy that i needed to work on myself and get to a place where i loved myself and was perfectly content being single. and once i get there i found the right person for me.

Wow. We’re all different. I don’t think I’ve ever been single once I started dating when I was 19 for more than two weeks. But of course there were undisclosed paramours involved. The last of whom is my current partner. We’re monogamous though. I don’t do the cheating thing anymore.

Need some stats from the author to make an analytical assessment.

Okay then you won’t end up alone. If you have a good personality then you’d be the complete package. So it may have to do with your selection in men - you may have too high standards or are going after the men that don’t want a relationship or if they do then want to be open. So basically, broaden your horizons Author.

What’s your point?

I am saving and investing in full expectation that I will die alone, because I prefer not to settle for a partner that doesn’t meet my standards.

I still have love in my life from my inner circle, and I’m a firm believer in that old adage that you can’t always get what you want, but you get what you need.

First of all, I’m Gen X.

Second of all, I’m a pan/ace/aro. I’m attracted to people first and gender is a secondary consideration. That being said, it would take an EXTRAORDINARY person to get me interested in them.

Do you usually go around mocking people’s sexual orientation like this? If so, it’s not cool to be this rude to other members of your own community.

Third, it’s smart to always be prepared to be alone for the long term. This way, you’re able to handle life on your own and not be so dependent on having a relationship, which is a healthier way to be anyways. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ve been solo for six years and enjoy the way my life has turned out. You may want to try the single life for a while. You may like it too.

OP, east coast NYC?

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.
