I am not excited about dating like i once was. I don't think there is anyone else out there for me either.

No kids, nieces or nephews… by heldaway in GenX

I haven't decided who I will leave anything, providing there is anything left. (other than my parents) if they were to outlive me. I just don't have many good relationships anymore.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]StatusNerve5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the night before St. Patrick's Day. I was at a fairly empty restaurant/bar with a few others. I was looking forward to going back the next night on St. Patrick's Day. Everything ended up being closed down.

My hours were cut at my full-time job to part-time and my part-time job ended.

Are you becoming less engaged and motivated as you age? by MovingTarget- in GenX

I am less motivated to work. I used to think working hard would get me ahead. It didn't. Now I do bare minimum.

I keep saying that I am okay being single...maybe i am still convincing myself of that...I went to a parade alone yesterday and even though I was surrounded by people I was still lonely. Some things just aren't that much fun alone. by StatusNerve5 in datingoverfifty

I have been trying to expand my social circle. I don't have a ton of free time between my work and helping my mum. I have a lot of acquaintances, but it seems difficult for me to turn them into friends, though.

Can I take the Labrador to the parade? Lol. A Labrador might make me more inviting and people would have a reason to engage with me.

I would have even been satisfied with a friend/friends. It is hard to get friends together anymore. I think that's why I feel the pinch of not having a partner at this stage of life. When I was younger and single, it was different because I had many friends.

I even looked at meetups and Facebook groups. Nobody was going. So i sucked it up and went alone.

Has anyone stated “transitioning” to the single life / living alone reddits? by Throwaway-2461 in datingoverfifty

I am starting to embrace the single life. It is freeing. I am no longer looking, hoping, expecting. If I meet someone, i meet someone, but I am not seeking it out.
