how long have you been separated/divorced. I have seen your posts on here and it doesnt seem likes it has been that long. Give yourself time to heal. You are doing nothing but bleeding on people that didnt cut you.

Start by thinking it has nothing to do with you as to why you aren't getting a response right away because most of the time that's the case and you've worked yourself up over nothing.
To do this you need to keep busy. Part of the fake it til you make it LL mentioned.

You actually do have to be happy with yourself and your life before you can be happy with someone else too. I didn’t believe it until it happened. I felt hopeless and lost, and basically unwanted. Then I met my now wife and things changed. I was happy alone first tho. I didn’t get married until I was 43 (4 days before I turned 44). Just gotta be patient, as hard as that sounds.

I have been there. Read the rest of my post and take note.

I guess I haven't really been alone that long.
Growing up I shared a room with my older brother until my parents had enough money to buy a bigger house. Then I moved into Kirby smith with 500 other dudes. Then the frat house with a bunch of people. Then a 5-bedroom house with 4 roommates. Then a two-bedroom place with one roommate.
So, most of my life I have lived with someone else and being a lone is fricking awesome. Maybe I will change my mind over time. But right now, it's great.

I have read your posts on here plenty of times, but have never replied to one until now. You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself constantly and stop telling everybody how bad you have it. I don't know you but I read the title and knew it was from you before even looking at the author.
If you are that depressed about being single get on one of the dating apps and talk to one of the thousands of women who are desperately looking for someone to talk to and maybe take them on a date. It’s not hard if you aren’t sulking.

You've gotta be trolling. It's not that hard.

You think it’s that easy. I’m on 4 different apps. The algorithm in the apps puts popular profiles at the top. You stumble out of the gate, and you are screwed. It’s demoralizing swiping right on damn near everyone and getting zero matches day after day. Again, how do I not feel negatively about myself? How would you feel?

All of this, but he won't take your advice. This dude needs counseling first. Not another date.

Def get off the apps. I was on them and all it did was make me feel like dog shite. I went out and met people in person by dancing at country bars. Worked out much better that way
ETA: you’re in Texas. Go to a country bar and take free dance lessons. You’ll slay just knowing the basics of two stepping. Chicks love guys that can dance at least halfway.

I am a widower and am old and I just don’t want to have a relationship. Just plain and simple. I have thwarted some advances from interesting and available women but it is what it is in that I don’t want to put forth the effort anymore. I’m not sacrificing the freedom I have now. Faith, family, some friends are all I need.
This is the way……..

Don’t go into these things with any expectations whatsoever. Don’t be a dick, but be passive. Don’t open up too much. Don’t get into deep conversation, act like you could take it or leave it. She’ll latch onto you. Don’t call and text constantly and make other plans outside of her.
It’s sounds like it’s the scent of desperation that is scaring them off. Nobody wants to be suffocated.
Just make some tweaks and you’ll be ok.

Congrats I guess. I don’t want to feel bad for myself. I know I’m stepping on toes these days. Another poster said that you get about 2 weeks of sympathy before people move on.
Fact is, there’s plenty of people like me. It’s a cruel world when being honest and open gets you negative responses, be it here or in the dating world. That’s why I sometimes think it would be easier if I just took matters into my own hands and ended things.
At the very least, nobody on here would be subjected to my threads.
