And in fact the reason for my recent excursion into dating apps was to boost my ego after a letdown...

My ego was definitely boosted in November 2017, when I did my month of GSM and went for endless coffees and dates... It led to absolutely nothing though, resulted in a rather disastrous short relationship with a psychopath and has ended in me having been totally and utterly put off. I have even switched off my sexuality/drive :-o

Not sure what that says...

Think it gets to us all Hann.

I've paid up for a years membership of Eharmony, but don't seem to be to motivated to do anything with it.

But then, I then get that "missing being with someone" feeling, which also included thoughts of exe's.

I think if I had more single friends I’d feel better. I don’t have many people I can call and say ‘do you fancy a film/coffee/drink?’

Thankfully, my non single friends always include me. I was invited to the film by Emma and Duncan yesterday... And seeing another non single friend tomorrow eve. Another came round last night, with his lovely partner and wife to be. Having lots of people to do things with, I don't feel that. It is more the intimate things, cuddles, physical contact...

Being a bit antisocial (and possibly a bit on the spectrum) has it's advantages. A full day of work in social mode leaves me too knackered to want to socialise. Canoe club and the banter at the climbing wall mostly covers my socialising. Occasional lunch or coffee with friends is fine with me. I might feel differently when QP has flown the nest and I don't have his company for walks, climbing etc.

I agree, HP. Being pleasant to people all day is exhausting.

Interesting that you’re thinking about that time when your teenager has flown the nest

I’m definitely acutely aware of my looming loneliness

I think I've got a while yet Maz but then Erin is a bit older than QP and a lot more mature. I keep telling myself it won't make that much difference. We spend much of our evenings in different parts of the house and we don't do that much together. I am lying to myself though.

I was thinking that tonight. It’s only 18 months until my nest will be empty, depending on whether the oldest comes back after uni. I enjoy my time alone but also like being with the teens.

I think I’ll just do more stuff when she’s gone, I’ll be able to do evening running or cycling club without feeling guilty. Hopefully I’ll be able to do a bit more soon once she passes her driving test.
