Need to get back out there

Hi there everyone,

Hope you all are well. I haven't been around much lately for work stress and travel and the resulting exhaustion. But now I have over 4 weeks until my next trip and my knee is feeling better and I am ready to get back out there.

The interesting thing is that, for the first time in awhile, I find myself not sure how to approach dating. I have been out of the game since the fall and sort of dread having to deal with it again. Besides, I have done online dating and speed dating and meeting people in bars and at political groups and lectures, etc. I am starting to run out of ideas and don't much feel like rehashing the old ways at the moment. So I am in a position where I want to get back out there but am not sure how to do it.

I am just hoping that I can meet people the normal ways without trying this time around. I am going to give it a month of passive looking to see how it goes.

Is anyone else feeling this way? Anyhoo- hope all is well with my online peers!

Jules

Hey! Good luck on those outings. A singles-oriented fund raising event sounds fun. I haven't ever tried anything like that.

By the way, I agree about home ownership- sometimes it's fantastic, other times I wish I wasn't the one that had to worry about everything.
