How do I get a social life after death of my spouse??

Question

I lost my husband 4 yrs.ago and though I think I'd like to date,I'm scared stiff and always back out of social invitations even with friends,I was married 20 yrs.and have a teenage son.Met a couple of guys online but something prevents me from meeting in person.

Answer 1

i dont think that meeting people online is the best or the safest way to start a connection. but as for the social life i would say just start to make new friends and just move at your own pace. the first step is always the most difficult. but when you do take the plunge i guarantee that you will be kicking yourself for holding out so long.
good luck! be safe.

Answer 2

plz dont do the online thing. its better to go out and meet someone naturally to me. u dont want to get in a relationship with some one and ur memory of how u met was over the internet and the best way is to go out with some of ur friends to a nice club or to a friends party or just go to a comedy club but u never know. u could be walking down the street and run into the person of ur dreams

Answer 3

See tragedy occurs sometimes and one should not let themselves drowned in it. If you want to socialize there is nothing wrong with it you can go ahead and find the right person suitable for you and since you have a teenage son you would have to talk it out with him also to avoid any problems later on.

Answer 4

Well first I think you need to sit back and ask yourself, do you want to? or are you doing for someone else? Then you continue to pray, which I'm sure you already do, and send out that prayer, and wait for your answer, ther is always an answer? He will tell you, don't go looking, wait for it to come to you. Wish you the best!

Answer 5

fear that you may break your marriage. you are an committed person. But I know your husband just want you to be happy. Just move on.
