Hello
Please can you share some information about what this is like? Is it as dire as I get the impression? Is there any point?
I am not a looker, overweight and dumpy. I used to be pretty and even sexy when I was younger, but nowadays I know I can't remotely compete. My friends say I am nice and funny, but they would. I do not consider myself at all a catch.
I'm coming to terms with my separation and not remotely ready to get "out there". But when I think about it, for one day, I am torn between two completely different impulses: one to have some fun and be treated well on a night out, have someone go to the bar for me and listen to what I have to say and maybe have a snog or a shag; the other is pretty tragic and unrealistic, which is I wonder what it would be like to have a loving relationship with someone who really had my back. I never have, and I guess I am now having to come to terms with the fact that I never will.
So. Going back to dating, flirting, FWBs I guess. Is it a non starter? Can anyone who is "out there" tell me what it is like?
Thank you!
