Hey ladies so it’s like this I recently turned 40. What a new chapter that’s been. While I was a single mother since 2015 I have been single single since 2019…and then the pandemic hit. I also started a new journey where I have stepped away from my corporate job of 2 decades to start my own businesses. What’s the issue? During that time the female friends I had showed their true colors and the friendships ended. And then since I work for myself from home my social interaction is basically null and void. For the most part my business keeps my mind at peace. But sometimes loneliness washes over me. And I also start to miss having “my person” 😔. So many stories of newer apps like bumble and hinge being a hotbed of creeps so I am afraid to jump on an app again. I just…Today is one of those days where I just feel so down and wondering if I will ever find love and good local friends.
So here I am…asking the sisterhood of GAG for some advice…
Thanks for reading
What Girls Said
I am sorry to hear of what you are going through. I am single and always have been and I never had to face a loneliness issue because I don't have a person to share my life with. Mind you, this is my personal choice but I am glad I did chose that path.
Now, being lonely does not have to be. You could take up a hobby or join a club of people that share the same interests as you do. This is the path I would choose if I had the feeling I was lonely and meet new people to socialize with.
Have you ever given a thought about a place where you can meet people that enjoy things you do? Knowing that you have common grounds is one of the best way to make friends that understand you and who knows, a friendship or perhaps even more can emerge from it. I wish you the best of luck.
Get out and socialize. Forget the online dating nonsense. There is a reason people resort to online dating and none of it is good.
