Comedy Club burningbird: I went to a comedy club last night with a few friends. (This was not a date) it was my first night out amidst the single people. I have to say it was so serial. The funny thing was that one side of the room was filled with older people, some couples, aprox 50+ and the other side was 25 and under. I kept wondering which side should I sit on. I felt creepy, like I did not belong. I am no were near 50 but far away from my twenties. No offense to all the guys out there...but all the guys seemed like they were on the make, mostly the attached guys.
I can't imagine dating. The awkwardness of the whole event. I am thinking about it because I would like to eventually share my life with someone, but I wonder if I can actually do it.
If you have already started dating... Did you ever feel this way? How do you go from being someone's partner for 16 years to being free to date again?
I am afraid. I am afraid that I will never be able to do this.
Sex, that is a whole other topic. That just makes me laugh. I can't even go there
Re: Comedy Club Older Guy: Hummm...that's funny i went to a comedy club last night too but didn't observe any of what you observed. There was a mix of people but there was no way i could tell who "was on the make" or if the ones on the make were already attached as you mentioned ?
Anyways...as far as dating goes...when you're ready you will be able to do it. I was with my ex-wife for over 20 years. Thinking about dating was wierd at first because i wasn't ready for it.
I went to the comdedy club last night with this wonederful girl that i met a few months ago because i was ready to start dating and went for it. We are now very much in love and couldn't be happier.
So i guess what i'm saying is to give yourself a chance to get over your ex-wife and then give yourself a shot at something new and good when you're ready for it. In the meantime try to enjoy yourself and not burden yourself of the additional stress of analyzing situations like you were in last night and just enjoy the moments. You'll feel better eventually and you'll know when you're ready for the next step.
Don't forget: "Whether you think you can or you think you can't...you're right !"
Good luck. I hope this helps and makes you reflect in some way.
