It's been a little over year since I got a divorce and I want to start dating again. I don't have any trouble talking to guys, I might even be the one who starts the conversation. I don't have trouble telling them I have epilepsy and don't work or drive because of it.
The only problem is that I'll have trouble getting out there to do it. My friends live about half and hour away, have full time jobs and younger kids. It's not that easy to get together with them and if we do it's usually for lunch. I have two cousins that live about half and hour away and see each other mostly for the same reasons as my friends We really only see each other at family a get together, . My brother, who is married, lives next door. His wife isn't a people person at all, she's the one who hides in the corner and doesn't talk to anyone and I know she wouldn't go out. I'm not too sure how she'd feel about my brother and I going out together. I don't know it would be hard for my brother, he works a crazy job schedule.
When I go out it's usually with my parents. I'm in my early 40's and had to move back home with my parents. I really hate telling a guy that's who I'm with, "Hi I'd like to introduce you to my mom/dad. Want to buy us both a drink?" Plus there's no privacy here in my parents house either. My dad doesn't want guys in my bedroom with me, even with the door open, still sees me as a little girl. I had seen a guy a few times but because of his work schedule and really only being able to get together at his house was hard so it only lasted a few dates.
Any ideas?
