I was single until I was 42. Most of my friends were married or in a relationship during the years. I began to think there was no " Prince Charming" going to come to sweep me off my feet. I began to plan how I would and could live a full and happy life.
Loving oneself and getting out into the world helped me understand relationships and personal needs. I did a lot of volunteering and community work.
I can honestly say that having good close friends to count on , made the future more comfortable.
The fact that one can call these friends in time of need is reassuring. Closeness in terms of physical contact can be a minor issue,but if I needed a hug I asked these close friends to give me them. Think about what you do with your time and who your true friends are. If you need a friend here in the villages PM me and we will all meet up ! Everyone needs a good friend ( I had a dog during my single years... Lots of doggy kisses !) You are not alone !
