not moving on.

The sooner you find someone else, the faster that happens. Don’t know where you live, but I moved away from a Gobi Desert — Macon, Ga. — once to get a fresh start in relationships.

I get the dating site issue, but they are one option that has worked for a lot of people. Wouldn’t want that to be my main option, but it is an option.

Anyway, take care.
