Relationships Have Passed Me By

[pizzaandchoc]

Hi

I am 52 and I feel like relationships have passed me by. I've had a few and one serious one. I'm looking back and thinking I have missed out on having a family and someone special in my life.

I've had a lot of crap things happen in my life and it's rare that I have a spark with someone. A few men I've liked have only wanted flings. If I'd been desperate I could have settled with someone but that's not me. I feel I have missed out.

I don't mean to sound arrogant but I am told I am attractive and I'm a nice person and that I look good for my age. People I have dated wonder why I am single. They say this in a nice way but it just gets me down.

I'm not looking for suggestions in how to meet someone. I've done it all - not to just meet a partner but to broaden my horizons. After lockdown I am going to try online dating again.

Although I am independent and happy with most aspects of my life being single gets me down.

I wondered if anyone else can relate to my situation.

Hi.

I am specific about some things but I don't think I'm too fussy. I wouldn't mind if a partner had children or wasn't into all my hobbies as long as there were some things in common.

I hope your Dad finds the right one.

I’m 35 and feel the same. I just never meet anyone while out and about like my friends have, no luck online dating, work in a very female dominated environment...it’s so disheartening to feel like you don’t even have the option to have what everyone else has because no one is offering isn’t it

MrsAmaro - it is but you are still relatively young and have time to find someone and have a family if you want one. Thanks for your reply
