The secret to being happy is having a great sense of humor and a dirty mind. I'm qualified!

greatcoastal - I agree that you are in one of the most difficult phases. Those weekends are not forever though. Do you know poker-playing men? Friends from church? Kids in sports - meet up with divorced/divorcing parents?
Check into Meetup & see if you can find a book club or an exercise class you'd like to check out.
This phase WILL pass. And you'll be a better version of you if you spend this time well.

Or maybe one that asks you to wax his back?

Creel, I actually get paid to do that. Unfortunately. I hate it, too. Eyebrows, upper lips, I don't mind. Anything larger, sucks, basically. That part of Esthetics, I'll pass on.

Perhaps try one of these:

I've got one for the weeds in the backyard. Works great! I would recommend a shorter "time on target" for back hair than the weeds, though.

Sorry. I can't legally do that. It's not in my scope of practice.

itsmytime2be, this may be a distasteful chore for you, but for the poor guy you're helping, it's a life saver and you're an angel.

Just sayin

It's not distasteful at all, actually. It just takes me a really long time to do, and I'm not very good at it.

I don't have time to read all the responses in this thread but wanted to chime in.. I wish this particular group was active when I was dating! I had over 50 "First dates." (not like the romantic comedy movie either, though a lot of it was comedic). Of that, I would say maybe 20 second dates. 10 or so third. 5 that I "saw" off and on at varying levels. One that would not meet with me because my divorce was not finalized. I had a FWB (actually I had two, please don't judge).

Met my husband from Eharmony, which I think is less prone to hook-up type men. He was on the way out, I just joined on a whim, we talked a bit and then he was gone. Didn't talk again until he texted me 3 months later after I "gave up men and dating."

Having a clear image of who you are as a person, what you want in life, having self love and compassion can make the whole dating ordeal more fun and lighthearted, I think. Mainly, I think it's important to just get out and live life doing the things you love. It makes you more interesting and attractive as well. I liked to incorporate first dates into things I love such as lectures, music in the park, live music, etc. Sharing an experience together is more fun, in my opinion, than sitting at a table staring at each other playing 21 questions.

Have fun with single life, everyone! It's something to be enjoyed, too.

Those who feel lovable, who love, and who experience belonging simply believe they are worthy of love and belonging. - Brene Brown

Well, I've been quiet lately because I've been too busy dating. Things are progressing well with the FWB. We had a second round so the good sex the first time wasn't a fluke. I don't know what the future holds for me in the dating world but I feel more confident having got the first time naked with someone I'm not married to over with. LOL

As a general (ok absolute) rule, dating and getting laid is a better option than posting on a site about not getting laid.

You go girl!

I have a first date tonight at EPCOT.
Just a few hours so should be fun.
I'm excited but nervous and it's not like me to be nervous.
I've been on the dating app a year now and this is first date #25.

Hopefully your date lives up the the most magical place on earth.
