So, today I have 2 conversations going, and 12 likes... Hmm. The likes are faded, so I have to pay to see them.. The other two are very cordial.. I like how it lets her make the first contact via messaging. Less pressure on her.
And, The triggers suck, that is the easiest way to say it.. After so many years with one person, everything you see and touch is something both have seen and touched together.. I hope I can learn to compartmentalize them away.. On a good note, my trip to Bandera with daughter is set up for first week of Nov. Horseback riding, Maybe some line dancing.. Of course, spending time with her is priceless. I feel she is making an effort to maintain relations with me. She doesnt have to, but she is keeping me relevant in her life. Simple stuff, like lunch, dinners, and other events like the Rodeo we went to.
Wouldn’t that put more pressure on her? So what is your goal of OLDing in Alaska when you don’t live there? Mach triggers will be there for awhile. If I see a happy family together it sometimes triggers me. Mach no one is ever required to be in a relationship with anyone. They are by choice.
I wasnt putting pressure on either to date. The App uses my location via web browser or phone location, and I couldnt get it to go to Charleston. I tried, vpn too, to log in as close as I could. I am only in AK for 3-4 days.. Next summer I will be here for about 8 weeks, that might be better. I will figure it out, it was only my first day trying to tweak settings. Both of them just conversed with me. No dates, but it was nice that someone contacted me. As far as Triggers, I will research and take everyones advice here. My biggest one is the house, furniture, everything... Just have to push through it.. As far as a relationship, not sure I do want one, or just a friend that is female to keep my mind off of things.. ( not using a person, but a genuine friend to do things together, kill time and enjoy life)
