Yes. I lived in false hope pretty much my whole life. I wanted to be loved and wanted, and have a good/happy relationship/marriage. What now? I live without it as best I can, but it hurts to know I’ve lived, I’ll die, and not have it.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it probable? No. You have to consider factors like age and availability for one. Some guy in his 70s or 80s, and single, straight, wants a relationship, and healthy enough to start one. That’s just for starters on his side before we ever get to compatibility. My side: do I even want to start all that again, there are not that many years left, and I’m tired of loss and grief. Maybe loneliness is a better pain than risking more loss. Depressing I know, but I have to think practically. @Fairydust

@Carissimi please never give up, even if you have fun just looking, I work in weddings and work with brides In your age bracket, it’s lovely 😊 join a good dating agency, one that costs money, so you know they won’t waste your time, it does work. Never ever give up hope 🥰✨ it can happen.

No. I’m not looking. I haven’t looked for a long time, and I won’t join a dating site. That’s not my scene. If it happens, it happens organically, like it did back in the day. I’m not relationship material anymore. I’m broken ... very much so. As lonely as life is for me, I couldn’t weigh someone else down with my baggage. I want to make someone happy, not miserable. @Fairydust
