Dating After 40

Quote From: vickisal

If this guy just wants to take you to bed my advice is be sure this is something that you can live with, so that it does not add to your depression! Is he a true friend? A long term friend? Or just some guy who wants to get off and say see ya never? Cause if he even remotely seems like that kind of guy, don't waste your time on him. Not worth it. I can only speak from experience that having meaningless sex is not fullfilling and sometimes it only makes the void larger!!!  Get out there and meet people! Make friends! Get out of your depression by doing things that make you happy! I don't care if it's going to museums, or garage sales. Figure out what you really love to do, and go do it!!!  Men are great, but they aren't the end all and be all if they aren't with you as a true "PARTNER", and just there for the "RIDE".
That is the problem-I can never have any fun time-I am going to school full time and working full time and dealing with a very clingy daughter that getting any time to myself is next to impossible.  So meeting people and being around people my own age is damn near impossible.  (even though she is 19 and should be doing her own thing) Anyway, I'm not sure what his deal is-he works 3rd shift so any time together is a real challenge.  I really don't know any different-I haven't really had a good relationship in my life-with the exception of the widower-every guy I've ever been around has been after tail, so to me it's just the way they are.  So, they say they want a relationship, but I know they are all lying and really not wanting that at all.  So, I don't know-the void consumes almost my whole being, and I can't imagine it getting any bigger.  I feel I am running out of time-crazy or not, that's how I see it with the world events going the way they are-and I guess that's what drives my desparation.
