When I found my new partner I wasn't looking for anything. Was happy to just stroll along. I did join tinder and found an old friend. We just hit it off straight away. But I wasn't looking at the time.
However my ex decided to cause no end of hastle. To the point of trying to say I was gay. Even came up with a fake profile of me on certain sites and sending pictures to my gf. I went fishing for a week and was even saying I wasn't fishing but meeting men. This was easily laughable as my gf actually can to see me while I was fishing.
My ex couldn't stand to see me with someone else and was trying all sorts. But what made me laugh was she was out seeing her 'friend" at the time. Or better put her FB.
But my gf saw through it all and stayed with me. It took a lot of convincing that it was all fake and there was times I thought it would work.
Just take it easy and maybe join a few online apps but just play along. Because you never know what's around the corner.
Thanks for the reply. Online may be the initial step for me.
Be a little wary of online dating, there are a lot of fakes on there - not to say it can't work, but it's not as simple as it seems.
You could try facebook to see if there are any singles groups in your area - these aren't necessarily for dating, just single people getting together. Also might be worth looking at www.meetup.com to meet people with similar interests.
Yes there’s always a risk. I’m not on Facebook so that’s out of the question. I’m going to tread carefully whatever step I take.
meetup should be ok - that's just a site for people with the same interests to get together, it will get you socialising and because you all have the same interest, you have something to talk about.
