To think it's sad that I haven't kissed anyone for over 6 years?

[amaryl]

I'm not actually looking for a relationship.
My husband died 5 yrs ago, I wanted a divorce cos he was a lying cheating sociopath so I had been trying to get him to leave for a year.
So it's 6 years, with no human physical contact

A snog would be nice

Or is this a typical dry spell?

Crumbs Op, do you have a patio?

Sympathy though, nearly five years for me.

Yes! I agree!

I am a massively touch orientated person.

When I wanted to remain unentangled but also wanted some getting lost in touch I started going to a swingers club and got back out on the kink scene.

Now I hold down a sensible looking life as a single parent to a child with additional needs... and some weekends I get childcare and fill my cup!

A patio?!

Haha you are obviously too young to have seen Brookside on channel 4 back in the day.

It has become a well known reply when an abusive partner disappears.

He was buried under the patio.

Eeesh with the patio comment 🙈

I do remember that!

Well, there are ways to get some physical contact if that is what you want OP? What is it that is stopping you exactly?

probably about 13 years or so for me.

I haven't had a proper snog for about 25 years. It's no coincidence that we 'celebrated' our silver wedding anniversary last year!

Go and snog him nunnun!

Rhubarb- you not interested? Or no opportunity?

Sparkling, I can’t be intimate with strangers, and I don’t have the time, energy or inclination for online dating stuff. And I wouldn’t trust anyone

I’m never having sex again am I?
What a waste

10 years for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ive given up worrying about it now.

And here I am thinking at 34 weeks pregnant, that it being 3 weeks since I’ve last had sex means I should probably start considering myself celibate.

Do none of you ever think about one night stands?
Sex is something you should be able to enjoy, no shame in a safe sex one night stand.

Go out and bag a shag ladies!

I haven’t had a decent snog since 2003. I used to love snogging for hours.

Married someone that didn’t like kissing and eventually all kissing stopped.

Totally agree OP. After 5 dry years i would LOVE a snog!

Oh @Chocolate1984 not even during sex?? I couldn't marry someone that didn't enjoy kissing

How do you have a one night stand when you don’t go out anywhere to meet anyone and old makes you feel ill?!!

Hmm... have you tried tinder? I’ve never used it so I can vouch but every single person I know uses it.

That or glam up and get out on a Saturday night... especially this time of year there are plenty of people looking to just have fun because it’s too close to Christmas to get into a full blown relationship

It's been 4 years since I've had a snog/sex/ cuddled etc.
After divorcing a lying, cheating, abusive narcissist , I have been too frightened to get back out in the dating world and get abused again.

It sounds like you're ready to go out and find someone OP. You could you know...

I really don’t like many people though!!

@amaryl - musicians. They're always up for it, don't want any complications, ask them no questions 'cos the feckers will lie to you regardless... good for a snog, and allegedly for the rest.
