Late May, early June 2014.

First, I wasn't ready after a break-up. Went on the dates and realized, "Nope, not done healing yet." Then I knew I was moving away and didn't want to start something up when I knew I was leaving the area. Then I just never felt like putting myself out there. I didn't want to go through the rigmarole of dates and questions and getting-to-know-yous. Now I'm too tired, and I might move again, although it's one of those job opportunities that take forever to happen because the position would actually be created for me when things reorganize after someone else retires later this year. And I need to work on myself a bit, as I'm not in a great place emotionally and physically. (Anyone ever slip multiple discs in their back? Right. Pain like that messes with your mind as much as your body. Talk about down in the dumps. And now 20 pounds to lose after not being able to run and work out + depression snacking.) And I think sex would be a major project because it has been so long and you can look up why that can be an issue for post-menopausal women. And I'm too tired to think about going through all of that. Really, mostly I'm just tired.

But dang, some of you make me happy hearing about your standing dates with your spouses. I think that right there is probably a major thing in a successful marriage, like you don't forget about each other as a love interest as opposed to a co-manager at home or co-parent. Good on ya! Gives me hope if I'm ever in a better place, and not tired.

Somewhere around 14 and a half years ago. That was the last time I was really in a relationship. I have never had a "date" outside of that relationship. I'm too dang shy, I suppose. Don't partake in the ways most people "date" nowadays like dating apps.
