You definitely have a keen sense of awareness of the theory behind it all. The reason you find yourself on dating apps looking for love is not because you don't have enough love in your life, but because you want the kind of love and companionship that your child or your friends can't fulfill. As a middle-aged single mom, I am not looking to building a family or having more children, I am looking for that companionship and intimacy without having to be married again.
