What can I say about the dating world? Well, I don’t like dating let’s make that clear. But I do want to find a companion that is genuine, authentic and I can enjoy the rest of my life with. When my husband died in 2017 it was devastating, to say the least. I dated here and there but I just was not ready for a relationship of that kind. I did make a lot of friends along the way but now I really miss everything that goes into having a partner. Now almost 4 years later I would like to find that.
How do you meet someone in this day and age? You guessed it – the thought is horrifying but dating sites. Yes, I did say it!
There are free dating sites – but let me tell you not great quality at least as far as I have seen. And very quickly there are signs of those who are scammers. Pictures are model perfect, with poor grammar, all of them live in some obscure place in the state. Not to mention the sob stories of how they lost their spouse. Also, they will be an engineer sent out of state, etc., etc.
I wanted someone close to my age I could relate to. I joined sliver singles and I have gone out with some nice guys but just not what I am looking for yet. Sometimes I feel like maybe I should just enjoy all the blessing I have as a single woman but they are so much sweeter when you find that someone who makes you heart skip a little faster.
For those of you who have lost spouses – it is a hard decision to make going out and starting a new life. One that does cause a lot of angst and soul searching. But I know if I were the one who had passed away I would not want my husband to be alone in this world. I would want him to go on and be happy. I know he loved me and loves me and I him it ended up being truly a love story. And no matter what that will never change.
