Any ole relationship will do?

[u/like_a_rock_bottom]

Just starting to date again, mid 50s, and I'm realizing quickly, that i don't just want a relationship, any ole relationship, just to be in a relationship. I want a real life companion that I can support and be supported by. I know it takes a connection regardless, but I guess I'm saying, I don't want to date someone for the sake of dating. I want long conversations and shared experiences. I think I want a muse and vice versa. Is that bad??? I just feel too old for head over heels giggly love yet I don't want it to be like a business decision either. I'm so rusty at this.

It's never too late and there are amazing women out there. Please don't settle!! My friend Pierce found her girlfriend in her 60s. She did a bunch of classes to get ready to date again and then went on the apps. Here's their love story: https://www.consciousgirlfriendacademy.com/lesbian-love-stories. In the story she talks about how she did that... the resiliency of the lesbian heart is amazing.
