I’m going to stop looking for love

Post Reply New Topic

I’m going to stop looking for a guy to date. My life is very crazy right now, I feel like I’m almost at my breaking point, few days ago, I woke up feeling a little mentally crazy, I went back to bed, I slept for a few more hours, maybe my body needed that, when I woke up, I felt myself again, I felt better. I do want a boyfriend, not because I’m lonely, because I want love. I don’t think it’s the right time, beside I can’t meet him, I have trouble walking & Covid. I still don’t know how people date & probably kiss & stuff, do they take Covid test everyday? I know people can get Covid home test now.

I think you've made the right choice given your circumstance. It seems like your focus should be on getting social services arranged, including an Occupational Therapist, an attorney and a financial advisor regarding your mother's money.

Starting a relationship right now is very hard. I met my bf right before Covid and our entire relationship has been dictated / controlled by government mandates despite the fact we're vaxxed and we comply with all regulations so we don't get fined or break any rules. There were times the government actually told people how to have sex (e.g., wearing a mask, not kissing, etc) We've gone months at a time unable to see each other and a lot of our dates were outside going for walks two metres apart, fully masked and not touching. It's a crazy time to try and build a relationship. Married people are lucky but the rest of us are likely better to wait another year or two until things calm down.

Hit the gym and get a fit body and dating will become 5x easier. This applies to both men and women.

I think it sounds totally reasonable to put a pause on looking for a relationship while you work on more pressing issues. I'm doing the same thing myself.

Just because you are taking a break for now, it doesn't mean your circumstances can't change later or you have to give up hope. Life is unpredictable and sometimes in a positive way.

Good luck. I think many people on this site are rooting for you and your happiness.

Having a normal dating life is something only top tiers and normies get to experience. The bottom 10% of men and women wind up involuntarily celibate for long periods of time and unfortunately, we're in the bottom 10%.

Sounds like a good time to just focus on yourself and your health and well being for sure.

I can't recall if I knew, what's with the difficulties walking? Healing an injury right now?

As for people dating and kissing w/ covid - well, basically people are taking risks that they determine are acceptable to them. I didn't meet or kiss anyone for more than a year and a half once covid started, but after double vaccinations (triple now) and covid getting weaker, I was comfortable with it - especially since I was already sharing a vehicle with my friend sooo if I was going to catch covid from them I would have caught it.. so, a kiss wouldn't hurt anything.

But still, covid can be lethal to some people like my dad - so now when I go to my parents house I keep 6-10 feet away from them and/or wear a mask inside their home. Better safe than sorry.
