Maybe it is my raising, but I learned at a very young age how to entertain myself so that I was NEVER bored. I was raised on a farm and if one of my parents heard you say you were bored, they could find a farm chore (usually a hard one like building fence) and put you to work. I say this today that I understand what you mean that being alone can be boring at times. I urge you, though, to try and change that mind set and see it as an opportunity so that you don’t get sucked into feeling like you HAVE to date to combat boredom. You do seem to have some good GAL: church, house remodeling, spending time with family. Keep going with those and maybe even explore other things that might bring you joy.
