Hi Omyk

There are some people who choose to date after their partners die and some people who don’t.

So far you have been on some short term dates.

It is up to you what you want to do next.

I have learned in life that people do what they want to. So it is a matter of figuring out what you want.

I’m not trying to dismiss how you feel. I’m sorry if it feels that way. I’m just aware that you are not going to be speaking here on this forum forever. And years later you may change your mind. You also may not. But it is helpful to remember that incase you ever change your mind about how you feel or what you want that is okay too.

It is a lot to commit to never having a long term partner for the rest of your life and never having sex. A lot of people take solace in having a partner when they reach old age because they help each other when struggling in poor health. That being said, your child could potentially help you. Hopefully, when you get to that age.

So it really it boils down to will you get lonely? Perhaps things will change when your child moves away? Only time will tell.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
