You need to do more steps to find love. People don't just spot you while working from or staying at home. Others are willing to invest in relationships to find the return multiplied. I do. Of course if we cannot find a relationship, we have no choice but to accept ourselves and our current situation and find something else to distract us, but that doesn't mean to stop pursuing love altogether and accept the fact of living alone permanently. Another point is that you are about half the age of Macd123, so he's spent enough time by himself, and he doesn't need more time by himself to know himself and have his life together. I don't think so. In general the idea of having your life together before finding someone is not so appealing to me, because relationships are a place of and an opportunity for mutual growth. If people waited to be perfect before getting into a relationship, they would never get into one. This is my opinion, and I respect yours  |
Age has nothing to do with finding love. It happens on it's own schedule. I know of 90 year olds who met and fell in love. It happens, so age is but a number in the grand scheme of things, really.
I like that you respect my opinion, and I respect yours, but like you I disagree. Maybe he has spent a lot of time alone, but that was time spent being miserable, he now should focus on spending it being happy. It'll go faster that way, and he'll be in a relationship before he knows it.
