There you go, Onyx. We are, aren’t we, in similar situations?
First, I have been married four times though it isn’t as bad as it sounds. Was married to the last guy for 25 years, was widowed when my daughter was three....couple of mistakes hither and yon.
And hey, there ARE men in my surround....heh.
I sit in my bedroom suite at night and ponder trying to adjust to a significant other in my life and I just can’t wrap my head around it.
I’d be okay, super-ok really, with having a male friend....even a male room-mate. I just don’t want to fall in love or something equally silly, at my age.
But if I had a pharmacist showing big interest in me....hell I’d be open to it.
OH WOW! I hope you're sitting down, because we have more in common that you ever dreamed!
My cherished DrO was my fourth husband, too, and we were married 25 years!
I was also previously widowed! In fact, all of my four are deceased, and no, I'm not a black widow...lol.
I know I could move back to San Diego and immediately have two men courting me, but that's not part of my agenda right now. I also already know the one I would choose... but again, that's not part of my agenda right now.
I'm actually floored that I am now contented that I'm all alone! I had two grandchildren (both age 20) living with me for a couple of months, and after enduring their drama, I was relieved and even happy, when I sent them home!
I'm wavering on a recent decision I made 2 weeks ago. I bought a very cute puppy, a French Bulldog! I have to collect him from his owner next weekend when he's 8 weeks old. *Sigh* I didn't buy him on a whim. I had given great thought to the pluses and minuses that come with the acquisition of a new pet, but now that my claim date is rapidly approaching, I'm having second thought about relinquishing my complete freedom! *Sigh* I am praying that all my concerns will melt away once I see and hold him again!
