I have coped really well as widow for nearly a decade now. I have no family support, but my children are fantastic. (its not just me whothat says that!!)
So I'm a strong, independent woman. But part of me would still like to be in a relationship, just for me.
I have joined free dating websites, but the men on there are are awful. I'm looking at dating men in their early 40's and they are just, well, lets just say I'd rather just chew my right arm than wake up with them in the morning...
Even if I found a decent man, I wouldn't really have the time to date them.
And men I have dated, think that I'm too good for them. Men just like to be needed, but I'm too independent for that...
I should just accept that I'll be single forever. Very few decent men are single, and the ones that are single, well I'm not really surprised.
I dated a lovely man a few weeks ago. (the first decent man in years) He wanted to see me again. He gave me two hugs at the end of the date, but then changed his mind about seeing me again.
I think I cope too well...
