Today, I ended up doing absolutely nothing other than watching TV. The weather was supposed to be terrible, and I had no reason to go outside.

One of the problems of living alone during the pandemic is loneliness. Unlike some people I know, I am not good at finding meetup groups that interest me. Additionally, not many groups are meeting in person until after the pandemic ends. So, I am temporarily unable to connect with new people until the end of the pandemic.
As much as I've reached out to be with new people, I know that few people are willing to open up their bubbles until they have been vaccinated. So most of the people I've been in contact with are those women who I contact for dating. One thing I've found is that many of the available nice women are those with special needs offspring. Dating a person with children in his/her 30's/40's/50's is hard enough. But when one is in his/her 60's, it can be a big problem. Who wants to take on the headaches of an adult child who can't take care of him/herself?
Since I have to be practical, I have to ask myself - can I deal with these headaches? Could a woman accept someone like me in exchange for companionship? Who knows?
