Tonight I made a Man Friend

Lounge
1

My husband and I parted company in 2012 and I have not been with a man since. In fact the very thought of being with someone else physically repulses me, especially after having had the same partner for 19 years.

Tonight I got talking to a very nice guy who is a friend of my Brother-in-law who is also a divorcee. We talked about how neither of us is looking for a sexual relationship but one of friendship only.

This sounds like the perfect arrangement to me. He has offered to go with me to movies, on dinner dates etc with absolutely no strings attached.

How lucky is that? :blush:

I don’t know Treebeard. Does that mean I am?

It means he doesn’t get sexual feelings for others. I don’t know if you are. Do you get sexual feelings?

There are dating websites for asexual people, so if this doesn’t work out then just remember that you have options.

I think I am asexual then. I don’t have any sexual desire whatsoever. I think I wore myself out when I had psychosis. I was just by myself mind you lol.

Maybe you are, or maybe you had some kind of reaction to the psychosis. It’s fine either way and there are many others who don’t want sex.

Sounds great but it also sounds too good to be true.
He is a guy after all.

I would follow through with it @Sarah but I would also take things slow and use caution.

Good luck with everything! :slightly_smiling_face:

Maybe you are right @Wave he is a man after all, but he has been on his own for years now. I feel at least I have explained how I feel about my situation to him so am not leading him on in any way.

I will tread carefully, and as Treebeard said there are plenty of other people out there like me so that is an option if things go south.

Thanks for caring Wave.

Thank you @anon78876561. I just really like male company. I love cars and motor bikes and fishing. Over here we have the Grey Nomads. People over fifty travelling around the country side in their campers. I would love to do that someday,

Do you guys have Grey Nomads over there?

You sound like an outdoorsy person. You like to have friends who also enjoy your activities. There is nothing wrong with that.
