I haven't been in a relationship in ages, and I'm not bothered by it one bit. Of course, being 58 years old may have something to do with it. I tried dating a guy about 2 years ago and it was a disaster. He wanted to move waaaay to fast. Also, he showed signs of what I was afraid would become abuse later on. At the very least, he just wasn't very respectful. So I kicked him to the curb after less than a month. No angst about it at all. I'm not against a relationship, but at this point in my life I don't have time for any crap. Again, it may have something to do with age. The urges for a physical relationship certainly aren't what they used to be. I can very much take it or leave it.
