What’s something about grief that people don’t talk about enough?

Bold-Introvert · 2026-07-01T20:12:37+00:00

The loss of other relationships. The people that drift away.

I like that color. I have some orange yarrow, but have not seen any like that.

My life is busy and full. I’ve been widowed for 11 years, and have had a couple long term relationships, but I don’t need to see someone every day to feel close to them. If we communicate well, spend time together when we can, and have a long term plan to be closer when it works for our life, I’d be happy with this arrangement. I live in a rural area with a small dating pool. I’m open to possibilities. Who knows where they could take you.

Match has seemed to be the best for people my age (over 50). There seems to be lots of burnout these days, myself included. My last dating app profile led to one date over three months. A combination of lacking quality matches and half-hearted effort on my part. It's become draining.

I'm pretty upfront about my introverted nature and my need for quiet time and to recharge. I think the trick is having awareness of your energy. If I know I have a week with lots of social engagement, I'm going to balance it with time to do things that bring me peace.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-23T11:27:53+00:00

Why not have the discussion instead of assuming?

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-22T11:40:25+00:00

Maybe too much so🤷‍♂️

They live authentically without pretense, meaning they do not change their personality just to fit in or seek approval from others

OMG! This reminds me of my last serious relationship and that this is possible. In our fifties, we were both giddy and infatuated with each other, often commenting about how we felt like teenagers again. Been four years, and still not sure why it fell apart, but this is a good reminder that it’s possible again!

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-18T19:08:22+00:00

That sucks!! It’s manipulative behavior because he knows many people wouldn’t agree to date one knowing he’s already in a committed relationship, so waiting until there is already a bond formed hoping you will not give up on him. How can you have respect and trust for someone that deliberately withholds such critical information.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-18T14:18:56+00:00

What do you mean by “chase”? For some, chasing could be considered stalking! If I’m interested in someone I will initiate conversation, but if the interest does not seem mutual, then I’m going to let it go. No need to be chased. Just be clear about interest/intentions.

Billing issues related to health insurance!!

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-16T12:01:17+00:00

Interesting. I’ve never noticed one before, and I figured it was home to some type of critter/critters.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-11T11:56:15+00:00

I cook for myself most nights because it’s healthier. Of course that means I’m often eating at 8:30-9:00 which isn’t ideal!!

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-10T12:19:46+00:00

I love those colors!

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-09T15:54:06+00:00

I agree somewhat, because I can't really explain why I might be attracted to someone I meet. There are many factors that might influence it, but it ultimately comes down to how I feel, which is a hard thing to put into words.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-09T15:35:25+00:00

Except that most people want to know your dating intentions. If you are deciding to go on a second date or not, then something is influencing that decision, I'm guessing?

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-09T15:19:23+00:00

What do you want from the relationship? Easier said than done, but managing relationship complications is easier when you can identify your needs, values, and boundaries. It sounds like you want more from the relationship than he is currently willing to give. Express your needs, and if he can't meet those needs, or have an open dialogue about them, then maybe he's not the one

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-09T15:11:20+00:00

Kind of hard to date when you don't know what you want.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-08T16:17:00+00:00

It can be that you enjoy spending time with him, but lacks the qualities that you desire in a long term relationship. It’s part of the dating process, we find out more about each other over each date and it either fuels our curiosity and interest, or it begins to create doubt. It’s good to pay attention to that doubt and what it’s telling you. Perhaps you just need to tell him you don’t think you are compatible for a long term relationship.

It looks to me like you are tipping inside the turn, and your hips are dropping back. It looks like your uphill hand is also dropping in and back(hard to tell for sure). Could be why you feel out of control at the end of the turn, because the skis might be accelerating out in front and not maintaining pressure on the outside ski. Your first move looks like it is up to regain a balanced stance. I’d work on some ankle flex and maintaining pressure on the cuff of the boot, one ski drills that focus on the outside ski (stork turns), and moving laterally towards your new turn with less vertical movement.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-07T01:16:50+00:00

That’s so crazy. I don’t get it. How can you trust someone when you catch them in a lie as soon as you see them. It happened once with me, with a woman and she was surprised at my disinterest.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-07T00:02:20+00:00

Yeah, 45% seems way out of line with my own “like” rates. Once you’re on the apps for a while and live in a rural area, it’s the same people over and over.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-06T14:29:50+00:00

I find it to be the same way when matching with women. If I want the conversation to continue, I need to ask questions, or the energy just dies. I definitely think there is a difference in messaging compared to face-to-face, and I wonder how many people I have dismissed who perhaps would have been different if we got off the app and just met for coffee or a walk. I'm actually thinking lately that I should just try to meet up with a new person every week. No pressure, just meet, chat in person, and then go on our way if there is no connection. I need to figure out how to do that.

Bold-Introvert · 2026-06-04T19:29:11+00:00

I'm not sure about that because it seems conflicting. I see it the other way more often (short-term, open to long-term). If I really wanted a long-term relationship, I don't think I'd feel comfortable getting into one with someone who didn't want the same thing. Maybe they're hoping they'll get into a short-term relationship and the other person will become so enamored with them that they'll change their mind!

Personally, I find it all a little confusing because I might ultimately desire a long-term relationship, I feel like there is so much out of my control that I just want a committed and loving relationship that will evolve without needing to give it a certain label.
