I'm 36. I run my own clothing store and have some investments. Financially, I'm doing fine. I'm not someone who lets myself go. Got divorced six years ago and just buried myself in work. My social circle is tiny, so I haven't really met many guys. Lately I've been sitting around a lot by myself, and it finally hit me. Maybe it's time to think about dating again. But it's so hard. I don't even know how to take the first step. No clue. It's driving me crazy.
I tried dating apps. What a disaster. Almost every guy swiped right on me, but so many of them were just rude. They didn't seem to actually look for someone who matched with them. They just wanted a hookup or to mess around. No one was serious about an actual relationship. It's like fishing. Just throw the net out and see what you catch, doesn't matter what kind of fish it is.
What I really want is a guy with the same values and goals. Someone to talk about anything with. No rushing. Just take time to get to know each other first, then see where it goes. Right now I feel stuck in a maze. If nothing changes, I'm afraid I'll just get lost in this whole thing, lol.
