Relationship History

[keanusleadinglady]

I'm in my 50s and haven't had many relationships. I've begun to feel like I'm the odd one out with this.

I seem to be able to get dates and there are men who want to go on second ones. The problem is that the ones I like and see seem to mess me around and so I've mainly had short flings rather than lasting relationships.

I've realised I've been ignoring red flags along the way but when I talk about my relationship history it's a bit embarrassing.

Overall I'm independant and don't mind being single but I do miss having someone in my life at times.

Is anyone else in the same boat? I feel like I'm the only one.

You don’t need to be embarrassed!

Its good that you have recognised that you have been ignoring red flags, I assume you’re going to pay attention to them in future and move on quickly when they appear?

You are much more likely to find a good one if you stick to your boundaries and don’t entertain anyone who shows those reds flags.

Kind of in a similar boat, but younger and working through being drawn to res flags.

Sounds like you might be drawn to people who aren’t great for you? Do steady, available people feel boring to you? If so, this is really quite a common problem.
