Single and in your 40s.

[Ilovegreentomatoes]

Anyone else early 40s and single? Do you believe you will still find the one? I'm 42 and after online dating for years apart from a few brief relationships in between I have kind of given up hope. How do other 40+ singles feel.The pool of available men is not only shallow but full of frogs.

@bangheadhere40 I'm sorry you aren't having much luck, I thought maybe with lockdown easing it would get better. Seems the pool is still just as bad.

Re. Computer Geek it's funny as I can't bring myself to block him, I sent him a message 3 weeks ago which he read so I know he hasn't blocked me. He did say he'd be back but who knows. For now I'm happy sorting my life out (was 2nd choice for an awesome job) and I only hope he is doing the same.

Been single 3 years after a 10 year relationship from hell and love it I don't get lonely I love the freedom and peace and not playing mum to a grown man no drama no mess the list goes on I can do whatever I want I'd never have a relationship again I don't miss any of it I've never been happier i wouldn't change it love being single love being me again

"Single but blissfully so. 45. I love the peace and unstressed nature of being single. No judgement, no expectations. It's just bliss.
I'm online dating but only interested if someone is perfect. Otherwise, I'll be happily single forever."

This basically defines me too, I am 44. Separated a year ago, did a bit of OLD but have actually realised I love being on my own. I love my quiet house, I love things staying where I leave them, I love farting and burping loudly if I wish to without having to act as someone else thinks a "lady" should. I love hogging the whole queen bed and having no one snoring, tossing and turning or getting up for a wee and waking me up. I love sharing my house only with my doggie and inviting friends/lovers to stay over whenever I feel like to.

If I have someone new in my life it will have to be:

• Perfect
• Live in his own house and come only for overnighters
• Great in bed

Anything less and I'll pass, thanks.

I have noticed that, since I realised how happy I am single, I have more and more men interested in me. I don't think it's a coincidence. Confidence and independence are a massive attraction for the right kind of men.[/quote]
Love this!
