37M here. I haven’t been in a serious relationship since 2018. That one ended badly, and I was the one who called it off. But it really made me wonder if I ought to be dating at all or if I should just choose the single life and stick with it.
I’m not sure that that’s for me, though. It is hard sometimes, especially when I’m traveling. I get lonely. I saw that an ex of mine had gotten married recently and it kinda shattered me.
That, and I think I have plenty to offer. I’m told that I am physically attractive, and I am in fantastic shape on the rest: great career, plenty of money, bills paid and all that, solid group of friends… I really don’t need a partner to complete myself. I’m already complete.
But damn it would be nice?
At any rate, I’m supposed to go on a date with this girl tomorrow. She seems fine? I’m not excited, but I also acknowledge that I never really know someone until I meet them IRL.
But I am also just SO. GODDAMN. TIRED. And I don’t know if that will ever change for me… I’ll not bother with dating apps for many months, but then as soon as I come back to them, I have to do the “how many brothers and sisters do you have?!” bullshit *all over again* and just, like, I can’t even, you guys. I’m so tired of it. Like just so tired. So. Tired.
But I also can’t make peace with being alone. It just doesn’t feel right.
What do I do?

So then dont go on the date and interview her, go and flirt instead.
