I’ve name changed as I don’t want a trail of my previous history following me on this thread. But I’ve been here a long time.
I’ve been divorced and single over 5 years now. I’m 40, 2 teens. Life is pretty sorted and stable.
I’ve used dating apps the past 4 years ( well not really in lockdown but on and off). In the beginning it was great, fun, exciting and I had many adventures.
Then it got boring, sex wasn’t just good fun and I started to want a bit more. Now I’m not saying I want a relationship as such, I don’t want anyone living with my kids and I.
I’m happy being single but I want a bit more than casual sex.
Trouble is I’ve dated men 15 years younger and 10 years older and they are all the same. In fact, I find the younger ones more genuine and less jaded and have an energy that equals mine.
Let’s face it, a guy 10 years younger isn’t going to want much past sex!
So I don’t know what to do, as things are going to start opening up, do I go back on the apps, buckle up and at least enjoy the company of younger men and take it for what it is, or do I just continue as I have done for most of the last year and have no irons, no nothing.
Just this really, what would you do? I swing between life is too short, get out there have a laugh and enjoy company , or just stay single and totally alone romantically.
N.b I have a life and live somewhere I would never meet any man I was attracted too, so dating apps are a must really.
