Aged 50 and always been single

[LilyAnn13]

Hi everyone 🙂
I have only ever been in 1 short relationship when I was 20.
I just haven´t known how to forge relationships since 🤔
I have always been quite attractive, so I don´t know what it is about me 💃
To be honest, I don´t put myself out there but that´s largely because I have doné so in the past and it hasn´t worked 🙄
And maybe it´s because I use too many emojies! Lol!
Seriously though, are there many/any more of me out there??

Have you tried online dating/dating apps? It could be a good way to learn how to force these types of relationships 😃

Only now and again and then I never really follow anything through. Then I cancel the apps. So I know I don´t help myself 😆

Hello, yes I'm very similar. I had one 2-year relationship but it was long distance and we didn't live together.
I've done all the usual online stuff and would form relationships that lasted up to 3 months but that was it.
Eventually I had 2 DC via known donor and my life is full and happy so I've accepted the fact that being part of a couple isn't for me.

Sorry Dilly...what do you mean 2DC?
Pardon my ignorance 😕

Two children

Are you celibate too?

Do you have close friends?

How often do you talk to men you find attractive?

I'm 50 and have been in one 20yr marriage to not really that bad of a guy (compared to most of the awful ones you read about on here), then had half a dozen shortish relationships too, plus have been single for about ten years dotted about, and currently. For me, the happiest, having tried them all, is single. I know it's much harder to realise that if you haven't been in one, but the grass is very rarely greener. There's some decent men out there, but I honestly don't think there's many. Just enjoy op, your situation is definitely better than the millions of unhappily married people.

I'm late 50s and exactly the same. Absolutely useless at flirting or putting myself out there. I had a DD via an attempt at a relationship, which didn't last... so a single mum now too. Have lots of great friends. Great job. Own house but no partner. Not even a date in 12 years. I guess some of us are just not meant to be in relationships.

I've tried online dating - it was worse than awful. I'd rather stay single!
