my best friend invited me to her friend lunch. I knew one of the people was a man she’d introduced me to 40 yrs ago, who at the time, I was not interested in, and still wouldn’t be interested..
i don’t want to have a relationship or ever get married again, im almost 70 , I’ve been married most my life, it hasn’t even been 2 mos since my spouse passed away.
the others were one couple who were nice and two other women who were nice, but I really didn’t fit in with them.
when we left I could tell my friend was telling her friends her idea as they had huge smiles on their faces.
the group was so depressing to be around, too, we had nothing in common..
I like my friend but I dont want to be around those people again..especially that man I’d known from yrs ago, we never dated and I told my friend at the time I wasn’t interested) I should’ve know she’d try that but the way she talked about him I thought they were best friends and I was safe.
ill just say I have plans when they arrange their lunch again..I don’t want to hurt feelings but no way do I want to be in that group.
if i need to I’ll nicely tell my friend, I’m not interested in meeting anyone, ( I told her this before .though, nor ever marrying again or dating..I’m happy that way..
everyone is different, I’m not bitter, not feeling poor me…I know myself exactly and what I want in my life now, etc, I just know my time is limited and I finally want to live my life for me now that I’m unattached.
