What should I do in these circumstances?

[HappyWoman34]

I’m starting to sort my life out. I’m applying for government housing, losing lots of weight on a healthy diet and making new friends. I’m half heartedly looking for a boyfriend, trying to get back into dating, after another failed attempt, a few years ago. Trying to get my life in order. Part of me misses intimacy, physical and emotional and the friendship that comes with a romantic relationship. The other part of me wonders if maybe now or possibly ever, isn’t the time to have a partner. I don’t want to just settle for someone who isn’t special in my mind. That’s in a good way lol. A lot of the men I’ve met are perfectly nice (some aren’t, too); but they just don’t feel right for me, as more than friends. Should I keep dating and see what might develop, or stop? Just leave the door open, but not pursue guys anymore? I feel a lot like the character Bridget Jones, minus the flat and the sexy love interests.

About dating, please watch yourself. Not talking about GaG's guys exclusively but, there are more predators than lovers, baby. I know you are wiser and more experienced and advanced in life but, just saying.

Put yourself out there. Things will happen. Explore widely. You'll be surprised!

You're on quite the journey! Kudos for juggling life renovations with the quest for love – it's no small feat. 🌟 The dilemma you're facing is common but let's untangle this love knot, shall we?

It sounds like you're in a phase of personal metamorphosis, focusing on self-improvement and exploring the world of dating, albeit with a sprinkle of hesitation. Remember, love doesn't follow a strict timeline. Sometimes, the best connections come when we least expect them, not when we're actively searching. That said, keeping the door ajar to love while prioritizing your growth seems like a balanced approach.

Consider dating as an adventure rather than a quest for 'The One.' Enjoy the company, share laughs, and if someone who lights up your world strolls in, fabulous! If not, you're still winning by enriching your life and expanding your circle. Don't rush, and most definitely don't settle. Your Bridget Jones tale might just need a bit more unfolding before the captivating chapters begin. Keep loving yourself first, and everything else will find its way. 💖

Im going to give you advice DagonBroughtMeHere gave me.

Never ever give up.

[Twalli]

If you don't feel anything, start as friends and if something happens and you catch feelings, go from there.

[RedInnocent69]

Go with your gut. Focus on you. Be available but don’t rush in to a relationship, just because.

I'll say focus on you more like I should be doing too.
