So I am 37. Ancient compared to most posts here it seems. Was married and together for over 10 years. 1 child (6).
My divorce problems are over and life is back to normal… but I am lonely. Ive tried online dating with zero success. I dont have much time to put myself out there.
After my divorce I have a fear of approaching women as trust is now a huge problem for me. I don’t feel comfortable approaching women like I used to and would rather have someone show interest in me as I was so beat down in my previous relationship and it would be awesome to feel wanted. Im weird.
How do I put myself out there more? I really doubt any women will approach me first. Im not opposed to approaching women but at my age and situation it gets harder.
I live in a tiny city with so few opportunities but cannot move for complicated reasons.
Ugh.

It’s great that you want to get back into dating but honestly, if you don’t know what you want to find in the person you potentially date, it will be a disaster. Probably better getting back to visiting family, hanging out with friends you haven’t seen in a bit and probably do the things you haven’t done in a while. I’m pretty sure you will find someone in this time you rediscover yourself and you won’t just date someone because you’re lonely.
