I can't believe that Im 35 and not married, no kids, no friends. I always wanted to be a mother and wife, and I know I would make a good one. But time has really flown by. I didn't even begin dating until 25. I've been in only 2 Long term relationships since then, and the breakups were so bad each time that I took 14 months to "heal" after each breakup. After around 14 months, I began dating again, but none of them lasted more that a few dates. Like I said, time has flown by. I'd like to start dating again, but I've put weight on this year from and men just aren't attracted to me.
I don't have any aunts/uncles/cousins. Just my mom. I dread the day that she passes away, because I will probably die soonafter from total loneliness. She is the only one I talk to on the phone after work, hang with on the weekends etc. Otherwise, my phone does not ring. I've tried making friends, but nobody is interested in befriending me since I'm not part of the Mommy crowd. The town is somewhat small, so I don't have too many options. I could move, but I have a house/mortgage here and I can't leave my mom by herself. There are only 3 meetup groups in this town. I went to one, and it was a flop. I joined a gym recently to lose weight, and I thought I could socialize, too - nope. People go to the gym to workout. I tried volunteering at the Pet shelter - all the other volunteers are twice my age, and there wasn't even much time to socialize with them because it was so busy. Church? No activities happening in my church, other than Mass. Eharmony and Match? tried both, never get a 2nd date.
I have a good job and career. I have a nice home, but I don't enjoy it much because I"m at my mom's most house most days because I get lonely sitting in my house. I have no idea how I'm going to make friends. My neighbor is dying of cancer and age 50. She's single, never married, no kids. But she is HAPPY, even as death approaches, because she is surrounded by friends.
