I just turned 50 in July and I’m still so unsure of what to do. It’s like I was expecting a pop up message in my head telling me what it is that I am really doing here. I have been separated for about 19 yrs from husband (still friends) and have a 26 yr old Daughter going to college and living with her b.friend. I on the other hand, do not work (on disability pension)..no life partner and terrified to meet another guy in fear that it will not work out like all my past relationships. I almost faint when any many approaches me or even looks at me. I really do wish to be with someone but I’m so scared that sometimes I won’t go out of my unit for days lol. I’m not a bad person but I do need help to be pushed in the right direction and learn to gey over my many insecurities that I have have built up throughout my life. What can I do…just don’t even know where to start. Can anyway help me?

Perhaps volunteering in your community, helping out somewhere, will get you ‘out and about’. Setting about to ‘meet someone’ is a nerve wrecking prospect! You need to just get out and meet a variety of people! Confidence grows as we mingle and talk to others. When you volunteer, you are already accepted and liked! That’s the good part! The more you stay ‘cloistered and safe’ at home, the older you will grow and the harder it will get to make this change!
I got married in my fifties and met ‘my guy’ in a book club!
Good luck to you!!
