Missing intimacy but not wanting a relationship

I've been single for nearly 5 years since my divorce. Not interested in dating or relationships at all since then as my DC was very young and I threw myself into rebuilding my life after divorce. I now see that I'm missing a big part of life in terms of intimacy, sex and company. I still don't want to date and definitely do not want a committed relationship. I don't know what I want and sometimes miss my old married life.

Can anyone else relate and what have you done about it?

You have a friend and a lover that is detached from your everyday life. Where to find the ideal one seems to be the difficulty. Try POF and put that you're looking to date but nothing serious. Sit back and go through the messages until you find one that you maybe want to talk to. POF isn't the only site there's loads
