Hi greeneyes
I’m taking care of my daughters pets while she’s on vacation
I’m struggling with my mood and life problems. And also feeling very lonely
That’s great you seem to stay busy. Have fun on your coffee date coming up

Have fun on your date and at the wedding. That's an enormous workout
place. I never went to a gym. Just walked or took aerobics lessons or rode
my exercise bike. I'm just looking at Utube channels I am subscribed to.
Going to work on my second Diamond painting kit. I don't think about my
anxious thoughts when I am working on a picture.

Thanks light! This too shall pass. That's nice that you are taking care of her pets. I have one cat, who is sleeping next to me and snoring loudly! He only started doing that a few months ago. We took a nap earlier. I am home kind of a lot. Today I did some cleaning, paid my Visa bill and called in a prescription and did some laundry. My best friend sees her bf more often these days so I don't get to talk to her on those days. I am looking for a part-time job for money and to get me out of the house. Do you work?

Thanks Tired! It will be nice to go on a date and to the wedding. Both the diner and the wedding venue are only 10 minutes away. I had an accident last year and my car insurance went up. I get charged by the mile. Have fun doing your painting!

Hi.
No I don’t work right now I was watching my grandson almost every day but recently due to some changes I don’t watch him anymore and rarely even see him I was watching him a lot like at least 5 days a week .
That and my youngest moved out.
These 2 changes happened at the exact same time. Which was around January 1
I’m spending too much time alone and trying to adapt to change along with other problems in my life it’s alot!
I think this might be the first time in my life I’m experienced lonliness to such a degree it’s painful!

You sound very pro- active with staying busy. That’s admirable!! That’s awesome you’re going to the gym and dating! Let us know how your dates go!

42 treadmills? Wow. I hurt my toe two weeks ago and I went for my first test run and I should be able to run for real soon. I feel better when I can run. I have been sitting here today quite lonely. It's been a while since I felt this way. Dating is a source of long ongoing frustration for me and I also am trying to be open, but I need to meet people to be open with!

Plenty of fish is not the greatest site to get dates but its free and there might be the perfect match there.

Thanks all! I never had a problem with loneliness until my cat Joey died. I cried for him for 3 months. Now I'm crying. Even though I have my cat Akira now, I still feel lonely. I do try to keep busy. On Sundays, sometimes I go thrifting and later meet my brother at the nursing home where our Aunt is. I'm not really excited about my date. I am excited about the wedding.

You are not alone in having a sad or lonely weekend. I now wonder if the full moon had some pull on me as well as a steroid med I was taking. I feel better but it was an odd weekend for sure. I wonder if the planets are lined up for a lot of people to feel lonely. That is also something hitting on me. I am glad to hear you have potential new friend on POF. Keep going, get out of the house, talk to someone new even if just saying hi at the grocery store to some stranger on the aisle you are on.

Update: I shouldn't have gone on that date. The guy was nice but he really looked a lot older than me. I wasn't attracted to him and his personality didn't do anything for me. He said he wanted to see me again. Ugh, I don't like being put on the spot. I told him that I would let him know. The next day I wrote to him that I had to say no to a second date. He was real nice about it. The other guy that I was talking to fell off of the earth. That's fine. I didn't like his taste in music anyway. 70s rock is so yesterday's news. So how is everyone doing today?

If you are looking for a spark and there is no spark, well telling him honestly is the best thing. He is a nice guy that bores you or you have no common ground so it is what it is. Not every man is going to be an exact match for you so maybe go easy on their style of music or clothing or hair or lack thereof. Maybe look for an interesting conversation and a quick mind.
