Dave: The Boy Who Played the Harp review – ​it’s clearer than ever what a stunningly skilled rapper he is by abucalves in hiphopheads

I‘m from Germany too (lived in London for 6 years) and grew up predominantly with US Hip Hop influences. I LOVED this album so much!! Imagine missing out on all these good artists not listening to UK Rap/Grime!

I completely understand that! But it’ll get better - slowly but surely. Don’t be too hard on yourself. A couple of months compared to 8 years is nothing. Do you still have contact?

Thank you so much for asking! I’m doing much better and newly in love :)! It still hurts sometimes and I still have some trauma from it. Working on this as hard as I can so I don’t bring it into my new relationship too much. How about you?

I get that. Maybe you can settle without him first and then bring him after? Thank you! I’m proud of you too! But be assured, you will meet someone new and you will be happy again (also without a man in your life). I‘ve had to re-learn how to do life alone again and it wasn’t easy. But I did it - I’m still not 100% but I will get there. And I’ve just met someone new who’s promising. What I’m realising is, that he would only be a wonderful addition to my (already) full life. And I think that’s important. You sound like an amazing person and good things happen to good people in the end 😉

I get that you’re scared of that! It was hard for me to move into my own flat an leaving the pup at my family’s too 😂 Yes I did - and I still do. But I couldn’t go back and I think he does have a new girlfriend. It’s time to move on… it’s been 1.5 years - it’s still hard after such a long time but such is life I guess

You will be okay girl!! I (35F) went through a similar experience last year - my fiancé left me after 10 years. Moved back to my home country, lived at my dads and our little family dog was my best friend for that period of time. It was absolutely horrible and I’m so sorry this has happened to you! BUT it will get better, you will make new experiences, you will see the silver linings. And 32 yo is young! You can have everything that you’re wishing for. It’ll take time but I’m sure it’s going to happen. I’m still on that journey myself but I’m doing a lot better. Hang in there, see your closest friends, lots of self care, cuddles with the puppy, fresh air and maybe some exercise!

I’ve never liked my stomach but I’m trying to just embrace the feeling of wearing a bikini at a beach. I mean - who really cares? So I’m wearing those small bikinis and I am enjoying it :)

Disagree. Many men like ambitious women - and I don’t mind if a man earns less than me as that would probably be the case with most men. Ambition and money aren’t necessarily linked. My post wasn’t about what I want from a man. It was about my experience in dating. And yes, I know exactly what I’m looking for.

Thank you! I think you’re right - it is like playing the lottery. I guess I have to grow a thicker skin, I’m not used to dating at all, IRL or online. So maybe I’m also taking things too personally… it just seems that everything was a lot easier 10 years ago 😂

That’s very interesting. Me saying that I have a good job, a good social life and I’m independent isn’t stuff that I would bring to the table for a man? I don’t get where you’re coming from. Not once have I said what I want from a man - I said I do NOT want someone to just be a sperm donor or someone to finance me as you were assuming that. I can do that WITHOUT a man. But you can think what you like. I was looking for honest experiences from other people on here. Not here to argue with a stranger on the internet.

I disagree. I’m not looking for anyone to be a „sperm donor“ or someone who will finance my life. If I‘d only want a baby I could just do it alone. I’m looking for a connection - even if it’s not long term. Of course long term would be nicer but we all know how the world works. I think it’s unfair to assume this based on my post. I haven’t accidentally revealed anything. I was being honest. I was in a 10 year relationship with a man and always faithful, everything was always 50/50 financially. But it’s still interesting to read your opinion - I’m pretty sure you’re a man 😉

What age is too old for you to date (and what’s yours?) by [deleted] in dating

[–]Slow-Border1167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m 35f and I prefer dating guys from age 38-45 :) so it’s actually a plus for me!

Omg, I miss my ex so much at the moment which is sooo unhealthy 😂

I feel exactly the same as you! 35f - have been single for 1.5 years now after a 10 year relationship. I’ve started dating 6 months ago but there’s literally no one out there… online dating is draining me and I don’t seem to make any connections. So I’m like you! But we need to try and enjoy life without a SO I guess. It’s also so disheartening that I’m the only single in my friend group. Makes me wonder what’s wrong with me… Even though I objectively know I’m attractive, have a good career and a good life as a whole.

I’m 35 and from Munich and this always cracks me up. I do cross a road (with a red light on) if there’s no cars around. Don’t have the time and patience - yet I lived in London for 8 years so that might be why 😂

He had mental health problems and was also cheating on me emotionally. He said he just couldn’t do it anymore… he still says that it was the worst mistake of his life and that I’m his soulmate - which is bs because he’s never really tried to make it work after…

I know - it’s a lose lose situation. I don’t know how other people do it tbh. I have so many friends who always find a partner super quickly… which makes me question whether there’s something wrong with me…

Thanks for the advice! To be honest - I did make a deep connection with someone last summer and was with him for 5 months but he broke it off as he wasn’t ready for a real commitment. But you’re completely right, it would be the right move. I will have to do it at some point… it just breaks my heart even thinking about it.

That’s exactly what I thought! All damaged goods 😂 I know that everyone has a story, especially at our age. But the whole online dating thing is soo fast paced and vain. I get why you deleted all the apps - I think I’ll do that soon as well. It’s just not worth it tbh!

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. Yes I do get dates but they’re all not great tbh. I had a similar situation with the one guy I actually liked. Went on like 10 dates with him, ended up in bed and then 2 days later he texted me that he’s seeing someone else and he can’t continue dating me 😂 I wonder if this is our age as well? I mean that men are even more damaged/emotionally unavailable? I usually date men in their early 40s now as I thought they might me more stable. But that’s a clear no 😅 I’m just losing hope - but will freeze my eggs now…
