Just a single lady off doing single lady things!

I posted a little while ago about ending the relationship with exp and to be honest it has been a bit of a horrible week, feeling lonely and sorry for myself. Also made the stupid mistake and having a wee social media stalk and saw photos of him and OW absolutely off their faces (in a way I never would be iyswim)
Anyway! In an effort to not be crying in my pjs on a Friday night, I've asked a really nice lady from work for a drink tonight.
I'm trying to invest in friendships and say yes to things, so when she mentioned getting a drink sometime I jumped at the chance.
Not sure why I'm posting other than I've had two glasses of prosecco and I'm a bit nervous.
I've not had a new friend date since I was 23 and I feel old and a bit silly.
😊Happy Friday

Eat some food and drink water before you go and between your drinks out and don't get too drunk and then talk about your ex all night.

Enjoy!!!!!!

Well, if you don’t eat something, you too will risk being photographed ‘off your face’ like your ex and his girlfriend! Have some soakage.

It’s good that you’re pursuing a new friendship, and going out with her, but why is that a ‘single lady thing’? Surely you’re not one of those people who only needs friends when she’s not in a relationship?

Enjoy making a new friend OP - it's the best fun!

Enjoy finding yourself again OP.

It's terrifying yet amazing.

@Cassidyscircus hope you had a brilliant time! Learning how to do things that you love just for yourself doesn’t come easy after a long relationship, at least not in my experience.

This weekend my children are with their dad, and I am taking the dog for a lovely long walk in nature, going to my women’s group (where we sit round and ponder the meaning of life and celebrate how wonderful it can be to be a woman, it’s honestly a brilliant two hours out of my month!) painting the dresser in my kitchen, meeting friends for dinner, and visiting my sister. And maybe eating a fuck tonne of Cadburys caramel.

I absolutely love being single!

Taking steps to connect with new people and do things YOU really love is so important. Good luck x

Hope you had a lovely time, OP. I’m making new friends for similar but different reasons and I have found the most amazing lovely people out there. All the best.

How did it go then @Cassidyscircus
?

"Single lady things" 🙄🤮
You are a human doing human things. I hope you had a nice evening.
