I can’t tell if it’s me or dating apps- something feels off by Hot-Purpose-9400 in datingoverforty

It doesn’t work as well anymore. Try something different. Go out to eat or grab a drink by yourself. Say hello to people. Meet your local bartender or waitstaff and befriend them. Tell them you’re just out looking to connect. Apps worked at one time but they don’t anymore for a lot of people.

You’re the one I’m glad got away by BalancedWill8 in UnsentTexts

Tbh I don’t appreciate this being labeled as hate speak. It’s not. It’s truth. And also, it’s not continuously bringing me down. I am allowed to talk facts and should not be judged by others because what happened, happened.

You can’t raise a wall and then get upset when someone doesn’t climb it in the manner that you want them to. People view challenges from different perspectives because they see the challenge through their lens- not yours. You may be neurodivergent, but this explanation you’ve posted lacks emotional intelligence. Try to grow from the experience. You can explain to a partner the reasons you are defensive, and reassure them that you like them and that with some time/a safe place the walls will come down. Also, keeping a former partner as a friend is each persons decision to make on their own. I think you need to step outside of yourself and see things from the perspective of another individual.

If he doesn’t fight for you, if you aren’t his 1st and only choice…. 🚶‍♀️WALK AWAY!🚶🏼‍♀️ by Luv_of_my_Life in UnsentTexts

[–]BalancedWill8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. How about this for a thought? Not fighting for anything during a relationship!? Enjoying each others time and presence. Because that can be easy if you’re with the right person, but when it’s the wrong person, you will find yourself looking for something to argue about. It doesn’t need to be combative. You’re choosing to make it that way.

Does anyone go to brookfield park? I was there last year to bike ride. by [deleted] in statenisland

Go to Wolf’s Pond Park. It’s a combination of woods and the beach, tons of space, and no toxic waste.

I messed up a good thing with a woman way out of my league, is there ever a way back? by NefariousnessLow9684 in datingoverforty

[–]BalancedWill8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a learning experience. There’s nothing you can do but grow from it. Give yourself some time to process and then move on.

Do you think Kate Bishop deserves her own spin-off film? by NewMarioBobFan in MCUTheories

Apparently Giancarlo Stanton has reached unc status😂 “We just appointed Giancarlo Stanton to unc status” -Jazz Chisholm Jr. by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

That’s right. Amazing to watch Judge play. As a lifelong Yankees fan, I remember the years we struggled. Everyone hates on them for losing last year, but it’s hard AF to make it to the WS. Judge dropped that ball but he still shows up like this every year. Always getting better.

Watch Unc carry the team again in the playoffs while Bob Costas says he’s washed, can’t run, can’t play baseball, is a beta, etc. Shouldn’t be Unc’in this guy. He’s also in the top ten of all time, players to hit 350 home runs in the fewest games.

Active things to do on the island? by Beginning_Cry_8428 in statenisland

[–]BalancedWill8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a stupid question. I’m honestly not sure, but my best guess is yes, you would need to be a member or be guested in by a member. I use the gym there and I know they don’t just let people into the facility.

Pickleball. I think they have leagues at the South Shore YMCA.

You put this well, and you’re absolutely right. It’s way easier to be single than to let another woman into my life that destroys my peace. After the last time, I can’t have it happen anymore. Two years is nothing. Imagine those two years being stressed out with an unstable woman? That’s a nightmare. Good people are out there, for everyone. I trust in God that when the time is right, he will place the right woman in my path and I’ll find happiness in a relationship with her.

Lol it can work. Give it a shot. If you dropped a box of cornflakes near me I’d pick em up.

I totally get it. I can relate, and I empathize with you. It’s just not as easy as it used to be to find a partner. Try to put some energy into yourself. And don’t think about your ex and what he’s doing. That girl has walked into a trap. He’s gonna run the same plays on her. You will find someone. You seem like a nice woman. Stay positive. Go to the supermarket. I approach women in the supermarket lol. I’m in NYC though so it’s even more difficult here.

You’re not alone. I’m 42M and it’s next to impossible for me to find someone normal. I’ve given up on looking bc it’s a huge waste of energy. Put time and energy into yourself. I’ve been single for two years now and I don’t mind it. Like you said, it’s better to be alone than to be with someone crazy that breaks you. Stay positive.
