I am 47 f who has been divorced for 5+years and although I have dated occasionally I have not found a man who I am willing to sacrifice my precious time for. Well, my sis has made me feel like that is weird and that I should want someone before I turn into a "bitter old maid". SO - a year a go I went out with a man a handful of times who I was NOT attracted to AT ALL, who had completely different political views as me, and had a variety of other LVM issues. I very stupidly went out with him like 4 times and just couldn't do it again. I found myself always suggesting we go to bars because I only wanted to be around him if we were drinking. I FINALLY told him that I was not interested in him and pursuing a relationship with him any longer. That was a year ago, and today a lawyer friend had to send him a warning letter that I would be taking legal action against him if he continues to reach out to me. For the past year he has not left me alone. He drives past my house, texts me frequently from different phones and has reached out to me on different social media platforms. I wish I had never lowered my standards for this guy. He has literally BEGGED me to give him another try. This is not a man but a sad boy in a mans clothes. I will never let my sis or another person tell ME what I need to do with my love life. The amount of time and stress I have spent worrying about this jerk I will never get back.

Ladies PLEASE know YOUR worth and don't ever think that you need to lower your standards for anyone!
