I don't know how to deal with the newly single thing either after being with the same person for 18 years. Time will tell and we will find our way to happiness again.

I am happy...i think. I am comfortable with me...staying tight with God, try to read, get in shape. I am asking...WHERE? Where do look? Where is safe? Online? At church with all the elderly? On a mountain? In Bed Bath and Beyond?

Ha lol! Listen I met this nice guy online last week and thought hey....what could
It hurt give it a shot. He has since totally blown me off not sure what I did. Makes me realize again how the dating game sucks, but like I said it's a start to put myself out there I guess. :/

Yeah like...the whole sorting through people to find compatibility thing. Before online stuff it had to be brutal. A lot of wasted time... Any sites that anyone prefers?

I have been using match with not much luck. Not sure how long I will use it maybe I should just let fate lead the way but in the mean time I will hang in there.

I think maybe the idea is if you are looking and it is the month of January, never assume that who you find in January is the end. Idk? Something like that...

Very true this is only the beginning and I am definitely not going to settle just to have the company.

Oh Lord no! Not that!

Not that kind of company if that's how it sounded lol

I feel the same.........
I don't know how to go out and make new friends, meet new people. Everyone tells me to go out have fun but how do you? For me it seems to be more about trust. How to you trust people after going through what I've been through? How do you just strike up a conversation with someone that doesn't know you without feeling creepy? All my friends were her friends husbands. That all kind of died with our breakup.

Ya me too all of "our" friends also went away when he did.

Me too. I was committed to her and the kids. She is the one had all the friends.
