Feeling Alone

[dougal2020]

Just that really. I have enough friends and I am close to family members. I miss having a partner.

I probably sound desperate but I am quite fussy. For me I either fancy someone or I don't and if the spark isn't there on the first date it won't happen by the 4th.

I'm very independent - I'm not looking for anyone to support me financially. It would just be nice to have someone to be close to.

I've tried dating apps but I've been on my own for some time now.

Anyone else feel like this?

I should say as well I am generally a happy person.

No advice I’m afraid but bumping this for you

I'm in a similar position so understand how you feel although it has only been 6 months for me. As much as my marriage ended for a good reason, I miss having a partner and someone to come home to, cuddles, support etc. I have been OLD but haven't found anyone who ticks all the boxes yet. That being said I'm not ready for a relationship, I just want some company. Did OLD not work for you? There are plenty of different sites to try if one didn't work for you. Alternatively perhaps you could try meeting someone through a shared hobby or even give speed dating a go 😃

It’s been 3 years for me and I haven’t even got past a third date in that time. Very depressing and I feel like giving up hope.

For me the weather makes a massive difference. I’m in a relationship now but I felt less lonely when I was single in the summer 2018. I went out with friends most evenings or chatted most nights, a busy social life and loved work (open flirty young office).
Iv been with my bf for 18 months now and in a way I feel more lonely now. I think it’s because I don’t really go out in the cold months and also where I used to chat most evening to my friends my boyfriend now is around so I can’t disappear upstairs for two hours at a time.
We don’t live together but he’s here 1 night a week and on the weekends I don’t have my children and on the phone the other nights. I feel Iv lost the closeness of my friends and a lot of my circle because where I used to be out every other weekend (when i don’t have my children), I’m now spending that time with my bf. I enjoy his company and can see a future with him but at the moment I’m feel in limbo as we’re fully committed and I want to spend my spare time with him.
Maybe if we move in together i wouldn’t feel I needed to split my time but at the moment something is making me feel lonely and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
