    I'm going to go live in Russia goodbye

    Exercises classes are a good way to meet people. You’ll find the same issues in any other place you move, if you don’t find comfortability in yourself and how you move about your days.

    You'll meet young single women who will probably belong to the Orthodox Church, who received a strict traditional upbringing in a two parent married family and likely espouse more conservative values. Unlike Ireland, UK and Western Europe.

    Strong, confident men in a good position to be the exclusive provider for a growing family are always going to be a hot commodity. Also men who don't drink or drink very moderately would do very well there with single women.

    You know what you want but also consider what you have to offer.

    It seems like if you wanted to find a date, you're forced to meet someone in your locality - maybe in a bar or something because you don't have any other scope. This seems horrifying to me. How many people will rush into a relationship by doing that? And how many people stay true to meeting a better match?
    Some of us who are single eventually look to see what's there, only to find that the majority of people are taken.

    From some of your posts I gather you want intimate companionship. That's cool.
    I also want to point out tho, do you not know many people who talk down about their significant others? Like they sound jaded and like they just "settled" for someone that they often resent?
    I know a lot of people this way.

    For me, "my life" needs to be about me, what I want, no resentment towards anyone in it, not felt limited by other people...
    It's a lonely path sometimes, but when you meet people, or even just a person that respects that, and sticks with you—even just as a friend—it builds a confidence that you are being true to yourself.

    End note...
    Be true to you, keep searching, if that's what you feel you want...in the meantime be content that you are not "settling", and enjoy the "adventure" of life!

    It might sound like this, but actually I don't have much to offer (right now), and I really don't have much time. I'm just pessimistic that things won't work out if/when I want them to. It's a fear, maybe it's a false fear, but maybe it also has some real significance.. I know that we live in a chaos world, but I think if I really did want to meet someone, I should have gone and done that years ago. But maybe I should trust that there will be single people in the future.

    A lot of posts I’ve read, I’d truly start with building your self esteem. When you find confidence in yourself, a lot of these thoughts of the unknown and unknown future will slow down a bit. You’ll know what you want and a vision, you won’t be afraid of the outcome because you’ll be happy at some point, of where you are as a person.

    that sounds like good advice, I think it's important to grow a strong connection with ourselves, because everything goes sideways we will still have a strength within

    Careful that doesn't take on a life of its own and become narcissism. That happens frequently to individuals raised in Western nations.

    Constant focus on self, self, self is circular and sterile. It goes nowhere.

    You may have been joking about moving to Russia but you might consider a visit to Russia or Eastern Europe. You may find it refreshing and invigorating.

    I hear you, as we get older it seems like there are more limits, in everything really. Clothing choices, jobs, physical activities,
    whatever...etc
    ...but as I type this...is that just a skewed perspective based on other people's choices and ideas?
    Ya, I'm thinking it is

    Reality is your life is all that matters right now and forever, for you. Take care as best you can, of you.

    I'll tell you a sweet story!
    A client at my work (gotta be like 70 ish), her husband died a few years ago and randomly she was reunited with someone she hadn't seen in 25 years...
    ...they reconnected and got married last month
    ...so sweet!

    And pointing someone with very low self esteem in the direction of second guessing raising their self esteem, sounds wise?

    Narcissists Feed off empaths and I’m pretty sure @1sphere doesn’t raise up signals as being a narcissistic. He appears like someone who’ll be embodied, by a narcissist if not careful in figuring himself out.

    Yes that's a sad possibility for him, I agree. He could be taken advantage of. But he seems to be of sharp intellect though. He can arm himself psychologically against narcissists if he sees the red flags.

    You don't come across as a narcissist to me. You seem sincerely warm hearted once you feel comfortable with someone. But maybe you could go east with 1sphere for some adventurous travel. You could bunk separately but maybe go to a play or opera together.
