Belle23 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Last night, I texted my ex (dumb move, yes. Please spare me any lecture). We've been broken up for almost 4 years now, but I had the urge to text him. I didn't text him because I missed him, but rather because I miss being in a relationship. For a long time, I was fine being single. I was able to focus on the goals that I wanted to accomplish - school, moving, self improvement, etc. Needless to say, I've accomplished those things, and I'm now settled in a new city that I moved to a few months ago. I am happy, but my interactions with my male colleagues make me miss being in a relationship, mainly because it's reminded me how fun it is to get to know someone. I'm not interested in dating any of them for the obvious reasons: they're a) my coworkers and b) all taken. Still, when you work closely with people, it forces you to form a bond with them and a part of it makes me miss being in a relationship. Anyway, long story short... how the heck do you go about meeting people when you haven't dated in such a long time? For reference, I met my ex in college.
ashy555 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Well I would probably start by putting yourself out there a bit more. Join a gym, socialise. A lot of people meet people through their friends. I'd also suggest to maybe get online and see what is out there. I personally prefer tinder. I've been on maybe 8 or 9 dates in the past few months. Its been a really fun experience getting to know different people. Majority of those men I went out with were not after just 'sex' as a lot of people usually refer tinder too. Some are but you can usually pick them pretty easily. It sounds like you're ready to put yourself out there again. You should definitely go for it
