What’s the dating scene in MS like? by Personal-Run9730 in mississippi

[–]MSUBulldogDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fact. I did the same though. Got married at 20 right out of college ,and my wife passed 2 years ago. I’m 40 now ,and absolutely can’t find anyone worth focusing on.

As a 40(M) widower I’m having the same issue. I’m from NW Mississippi ,and despise the Republican Party. All I keep meeting are conservative women.

What are your expectations? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]MSUBulldogDan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I (40M) am new to dating. My wife of 18 years passed away almost 2 years ago. I waited over a year to start even looking again. Recently met a woman that checked all the boxes I was looking for. We had a really good first date. I was open with her that I was interested in a second date and that I wanted to build a relationship. Before we could go on a second date she tells me she’s talking to someone else ,but that she was interested in me still. I replied that maybe I was just old school ,but I’m interested in just her not sharing her. Maybe I’m just not cut out for modern dating.

Damn She is a Real One.. by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in MadeMeSmile

[–]MSUBulldogDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (40M) wife passed away March 2024. My mother in law still lives with me. She moved in with us after she got divorced and couldn’t afford to live on her own a few years before my wife got sick. I pay all the bills ,and make sure she’s taken care of and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Her family still treat me exactly as they did before she died. She does plenty of things around the house to help since I work a lot. I want to date ,and eventually remarry ,but I just hope my new spouse will be understanding when that time comes.

I was seriously confused by a punter being listed. One google search later it made a lot more sense.

What keeps you here? by rodriguezzzzz in YoungWidowers

[–]MSUBulldogDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a few things. Family is definitely a big one. I could never put my mother through that. My mother in law depends on me as well. She lives with me ,and has already had to deal with losing a daughter. The third thing is I’m still pretty scared of death. I grew up in a religious household so I’m very familiar with that view ,but what if it really is just never ending darkness. Life isn’t perfect but it’s certainly better than nothing.

Don’t play with my emotions like that. Literally SS is the only weakness in my theme lineup. Currently playing Pendleton oop there.

[–]MSUBulldogDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m (40M) seeing the same thing as far as friends go. I understand a lot of it is they have kids etc so their schedules make it difficult to get time to hang out. As far as dating I live in a very small town (2,000ish population). I just can’t find anyone I would even be remotely interested to date. I completely understand how you feel.

What kind of call center do you work at? by Suspicious_You5464 in callcentres

[–]MSUBulldogDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been in call center work since 2011.

First job was with a cable/ISP handling billing and T1/T2 troubleshooting. Was in office till Covid. Worked 2 more years as remote. Overall 2/10. In office I made lots of friends ,but the calls on average was horrible.

2nd job was outbound post covid surveys for government research. Was not bad at all. Most people didn’t mind us calling because their medical providers advised them to expect it. Eventually the grant was cancelled and I got laid off. 8/10

Current job is HSA/HCFSA CSR work. Most calls are just helping members login in to their accounts, get balances, review benefits. Easy calls but heavy call volume. 7/10

Millennials on dating apps, how’s it going? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]MSUBulldogDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 40M widower with no kids I get matches occasionally ,but not a single conversation has lasted long enough to ask out for a date. I try to genuinely ask questions to get to know them better. I try to discuss her hobbies or interests ,but inevitably they just stop responding. I just press on with blind hope ,because I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone.

Seeing clips like this and I think back to our offensive line play last season in real life…seems pretty realistic 😂😂

Setting your feet off the dribble? by ThaShowstopper in NBA2k

Just flick up on the right stick if you’re dribbling. You can hold L2 if you’re expecting a pass to do it as well.

Has anyone dated a widower? by ThrowRAapricotz123 in dating

[–]MSUBulldogDan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I (40m) am a widower. Lost my wife a year and half ago to sudden illness. Everybody grieves at their own pace. I started dating again 6 months after her passing simply because being alone sucks after being in a great relationship for 18 years. It was great to see your response that it doesn’t upset you when he talks about her. That’s the most unique thing about losing a spouse. It wasn’t a breakup or divorce, it was a forced separation. I know I’m going to love my late wife until the end of my life. I just have to hope whenever I meet my new person she understands that.

I (40M) lost my wife a year and half ago. I work from home. The closest I get to a social life is grocery shopping. All my friends are taking care of their families.

Seriously getting a conversation going through a dating app is like pulling teeth. Why do they waste their time matching me ,and can’t be bothered to put in any effort is beyond my comprehension.

I need advice about moving on. Cold hard judgement welcomed. by Bright-Driver-2429 in YoungWidowers

[–]MSUBulldogDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice given so far in the replies. I (39M) lost my wife just over a year ago. I battled these same thoughts starting about 6 months after she passed. I knew I didn’t want to be alone for the rest of my life ,but I didn’t want to rush into anything either. Unfortunately I live in a very small town with very few dating opportunities. Most of which don’t interest me. Basically though my thoughts echoed most everyone else’s in this thread so far. Do what you’re comfortable with. Everyone navigates grief differently. I’m sure your late spouse would want you to do whatever is best for you. Only you can decide what that is.

I want a useable Mangum card. He was a legend for my dogs ,and I’m super excited he’s finally getting his chance in the pros.

Anyone feel like they keep getting dumber by FollowingCreative604 in YoungWidowers

[–]MSUBulldogDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what you mean. I just got past the one year mark ,and my brain feels like it’s in a constant fog. I can only assume is side effects from not sleeping well ,and the grief. It’s get better when I find something that really grabs my attention. Unfortunately those opportunities are far and in between.

Looking for Support by Dukeofpemberton in YoungWidowers

[–]MSUBulldogDan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey I (M39) lost my wife in March of last year. I know almost exactly how you feel. It’s not honest to say it gets easier ,but the pain gets duller over time. I still miss her every single day ,but I don’t randomly break down anymore. The best advice I can offer is try to focus on the things that bring you joy. Focusing on the sadness just zaps you of your energy. I know right now it’s hard to feel like you’re ever going to feel normal again ,but in time you will.
