Told my mum how bored I was with my life (just had a bad week, that’s all, and hormones) and she said I needed a diff life, to settle down and have kids. We ended up arguing 🙄
My life is actually great - successful career, well paid job, financial independence, great friends and loving family. I’ve travelled and lived abroad. I’m told by colleagues and family that I’m selfless, fun and loving.
Yet I struggle to meet men I find attractive - both physically and non physically - and to form a relationship. Most people by mid 30s are settled and with kids. I can’t even a date/relationship. That’s not to say there’s no interest in me - there is actually a lot, from older and married men in particular, and that younger ones don’t have the courage to talk to me, despite the staring.
It’s been close to a year since I parted ways with an emotionally abusive man I fell madly for and I’m still not over him. I took up new hobbies, went down a dress size, and did lots of healthy eating and loving. Did more travelling. Gave myself until end of Spring to get back on online dating but it’s been abysmal and no date - I don’t like most of the men who like me and the ones I do never write back. I’m not even that fussy, I avoid the too good looking ones who look like obvious twats (lol).
It’s so hard being so alone.
When’s it going to change?
I don’t know what else I could/should be doing.
I told my mum that unless she finds me someone, not to bring up marriage and kids again...
