This sucks.

Been single after a divorce for a year and a half, just feeling like I can put myself back out there and now I've got to socially isolate . . .

Is more important than a potential relationship.

Just hang in there until the time comes around to you

Sorry about your divorce. It's definitely rough times right now. Try to remain positive as hard as it is. I am trying to focus on things I can do in the meantime. Good luck. Be well and take care of you.

It's been over three years for me and I'm still like, meh.

Most all of the newly single people I know are going through the Internet options now and many are finding compatible mates. This would be a good time to case those resources out. Good luck!
