Does anyone miss dating ?

I’ve been single for over 4 years now, (no dating at all in that time.) I really miss dating and feel so lonely atm, obviously this situation doesn’t help, for certain reasons I can’t date but I really miss it, does anyone else miss dating? Or miss having someone? It’s been such a long time I’m not even sure I would remember how to and would probably come across as really awkward Blush

I miss it too! I'm 25! Lockdown is shit for being single. I tried OLD just to kind of see what's on there and chat to some lads but after a week I got sick of it. It really isn't my thing. I cannot wait for the days of going to the pubs with your mates and meeting people and socialising again. Or even walking around busy high streets! Just where there is opportunity to meet someone.
I'm currently furloughed again since October last year till April min Sad and my job was so social I met so many different kinds of people and always went on dates and stuff after work. Its just so weird how lonely I feel now!

However I am using these lockdown months to try and focus on myself now and some goals ready for when those pubs open back up again Wink I do hope by spring/early summer restrictions ease '

No Grin not at all!
Every conversation I have that last over a week turns in to me realising they are a dick.

If I could date, then I wouldn't realise this until it was to late lol 😂

I've been single just over a year, and before the last relationship, where I ignored the red flags I was single for 7 years and I'm going to do it again!

At 33 I'm already tired of it all.

I’m glad it’s not just me, I’ve been using this time to focus on myself as well, losing weight and just want to get back to being me again and not just a mum, I’ve heard how hideous old so it does kind of scare me, I’ve downloaded tinder just to have a look at what’s on there I haven’t even put up a pic though!

Redflaggs wow I thought 4 years was long! Tbh it is slim pickings out there but I watch a lot of dating shows so it’s bringing back memories 😬
