The family seems to be pushing me to go on dates and put myself out there. Why?

What could I possibly have to offer exactly? I don't really have the desire to date anymore as it is. I'm cool with being alone and no matter how many times I explain this to everyone nobody seems to believe me. They all think I'm convincing myself I'm fine alone when I'm not.

I’m going through the same thing too, but more and more people are surprised if I say I wouldn’t mind going on a date because I’m 59, they think I should be in a nursing home.

@NovaNine true. I am perfectly happy being alone, but if someone I really liked came along, I would be open to dating I guess, but it’s definitely no huge priority on my bucket list.

@Mardrae nah!!don't let other's opinion to influence what you want and do not. it is your opportunity to explore while still can. just be consistently enthusiastic about meeting new people and dating.

@lakshsony honestly I prefer being alone

I don't see myself getting married anytime soon. As a guy, it seems a bit easier for me to achieve what I want without being tied down. Having some financial independence and enjoying the company of sugarbabies keeps me happy and satisfied. I feel like a man's true potential is unlocked when he has enough resources for all his basic needs, especially when it comes to a partner. So for now, you can go dating for networking and having fun without any commitments. While I rarely go for long-term commitments with sugarbabies on Sugarbook, we still manage to have a good time together

Why would anyone want to pressure people in our age group to do stuff?
Usually that pressure is put on the 20-something aged family members.

why don't you give their suggestion a try? you can start with online dating app that is safe. sugarbook is one of the few safe platforms where people can connect, meet and develop mutually beneficial relationships. a well-developed and has a user-friendly interface, consisting a huge profile database.

why do you think they are pushing? Are you divorced or never married?
NovaNine · 56-60, M
@robertsnj I am once divorced that happened when I was in my early 20s and I had never married again after. No children either. They're pushing because they think I'm lonely and or strange for never choosing to marry again.

@NovaNine I am sorry for them giving you stress
NovaNine · 56-60, M
@robertsnj It's alright they mean well but I've always been a tough nut to crack so to speak. March to my own music

@NovaNine they're going to have to accept that you want to remain single at some point
