Finding love after being single for a long time is really difficult. Trying to date during the pandemic is very hard. It was a time when you didn't feel comfortable meeting someone because you didn't know whether it was even safe because you didn't know whether they had the virus or not.
A lot of people were very lonely at this time so they decided to meet people online and some didn't even meet in person. After being single for so long the thought of dating again has crossed my mind. I have been reading a lot of self-help books and looking at a lot of videos. This was very helpful when I was out of an extremely abusive marriage over thirty years ago.
These books taught me a lot about red flags that I should pay attention to. It helped me to not get hurt again. I am preparing myself at this time for the possibility of getting back out there and trying again.
There are also online dating apps that could be helpful just make sure that you remain anonymous and also do online research on a possible suitor.
Love is possible but you have to really be emotionally ready for it. Try to deal with any baggage that you have from a prior relationship. Learning how to love again after a very long marriage or after your spouse has passed away can be so hard and draining but you can take the steps to learn how.
Get involved online in community events. Even Facebook groups can be helpful for you to meet new people. Books on love can be helpful because there is no judgment there. You can put anything that you have learned into practice right away.
