I’m mid thirties and single. I currently live in a nice ish house in a city, easy access to work. I’m not a big fan of going out drinking but obviously from a dating perspective it is a good place to meet people after work and at weekends.
I feel so lost because if I was with someone I would definitely and absolutely be moving to the countryside and closer to family. I grew up in a medium size village, slap bang in the middle of cities dotted around but with a good drive to get to any! After this year and the isolation, the changing work practices and now being on only two days in the office, I’m wondering what on Earth I’m doing living where I am. I’ve started looking at houses back in this village with countryside views and a quieter life.
Talking to my forever long term best friend and her answer was ‘so you are ready to sign up to be single forever, ok then’...
I know ultimately it is up to me to decide this but she has made me feel like I will be alone forever if I take this step on my own! The other part of me wonders if I will ever meet anyone round here given I’ve been dating in the city for a long time now, a good few years. I’m totally fed up and maybe part of it is being cooped up all the time anyway but realistically now I do feel I am literally in this house so I can be close to an area where there are more men! And that feels very sad! But I also don’t want to be alone forever.
Feeling mixed up...anyone got any experience of this or views on what they would do?
