I told myself after my last breakup that I was going to take two years off dating and so far I have stuck to my plan.
It has been a year and a half since the split and I am still going strong on my own.
My neighbor told me he went four years without dating one time to find himself and focus on living the life of a monk to get more spiritual. I’m not sure if I can make it four years though, and I’m not sure I’d want to go that long anyways. My HVAC specialist ex and I haven’t talked at all since we left our air conditioned flat that we were living in together. I think the next woman I date will be my last because I am getting genuinely tired of starting over all the time. My cooling rep aunt is 66 years old and she has thrown in the towel on dating, something which I hope I don’t do so I’m not sitting home staring at my mini split a/c unit and my cats. I will go six more months and then try and open my heart one more time to someone and I hope it will be the one. My heating corp where I work has some nice people working there to keep me company on my journey alone, and the HVAC worker who runs the locale told me I am doing a good thing for my spirit so I guess it will be okay in the end. Have a good one today!
