Another year alone

This year is a year of change for me. I got sleeved in February and lost over 100lbs so far. I am feeling better and can do things I couldn't do for years. With that said, sadly I am feeling very lonely still. My birthday is coming up next month and I will be 39 and alone. Another year that way and it sucks. Hopefully as I keep losing and things get better, my situation will change. It would just be nice to find someone to share this life with.

That is how I met the love of my life a decade ago! It was when I wasNt looking. Daveo you will find her!

lol you all are too funny!

Daveo I'm as lost as you are! Don't take my advice I'm heartbroken

Hi Daveo- as someone who has been single for awhile and comfortable with it, my suggestion mirrors that of others in here: concentrate on falling in love with yourself, first. Learn the joy of being alone and find things to fill that alone time with that you like. Even if one of those things are naps! For instance, I've reading and cooking. Now, while I really love to.cook for another person, I have found enjoyment in cooking for myself, too. I will even go see a movie alone if it's something I really want to see. I don't let my singled prevent me from personally experiencing fulfillment and.happiness. of course, it would be wonderful to find that other half, but in the meantime, I am working on myself and keeping an open mind and heart. Be the person you want to find. You know what I mean? Putting out those good vibrations of energy will bring you to your place in life, or bring that place to you- when you are ready for it, or when you and that other person on in sync. Does that make sense?

On a personal note, may I ask where you live?

@@jennysayscheese Thank you for your suggestion, I really do need to learn to love myself as well as learn to enjoy being alone. I am currently in Nevada, the Las Vegas area. Lots to do here just this heat is horrible right now to do anything.

Sin city! No wonder it is difficult to find someone, I imagine serious relationships aren't wanted as much as.....well....everything else. I've never been to LV, unless you count the airport!

Ps, congrats on all the weight you've lost! Keep up the great work!

@@jennysayscheese haha yeah they can cater to whatever you want here yet real relationships is something hard to find. Thanks about the weightloss!

You're welcome! So what kind of things do you do there instead of the superficial crap LV is known for?

You know what, I don't do any of that stuff. lol. I used to when vacationing here but now that I live here I don't go to the casinos. Also I can't gamble at the ones I work for. lol Only time I do go to one is when family or friends come into town. I just go to movies that's about it. I live a boring life.

Me, too, compared to years ago. But I am content. I just went and saw Southpaw in the theater. Typical boxing comeback movie, but I liked it. And I started watching sense8 on Netflix today. See anything good recently?

I never win money gambling so I rarely do it!

Oh I love Sense8! It is a crazy show. Last thing I seen was Fantastic 4 and it was everything but Fantastic, worst movie in awhile. Ant - Man was good. I like a lot of SciFi. lol

It seems like it will be good! I love sci-fi, too. I confess I usually avoid movies made from comics, though I know not all have been bad, or what I would consider not good. Did you happen to see the new Mad Max? The effects look amazing but I wonder if it's worth seeing. I give pause to remakes or originals that first played within the span of my lifetime.

Still haven't seen it, I know it's on video now though. I need to though because I can't remember the original one and need to watch that too. lol
