I feel you . Every time I go to the store I come home with a succulent or an orchid . <| sep |> Who ' s the favourite has to be Mahrez ? <| sep |> So , you ' re saying you have no idea what you ' re talking about ? Yes , I knew . <| sep |> I ' m a woman and I had the same thoughts and feelings that you do . Except I even had children . I ' d been divorced for 19 years and actually celibate for 14 of them . I truly couldn ' t think of any good reason to have a man around . In fact I could think of lots of reasons not to have one around . Then I met a man whom I really liked and we started planning a life together . I didn ' t need him but it sure was fun loving him and sharing my life with someone . Having someone to live and care for is the ultimate human experience . As long as it ' s not dysfunctional like my previous marriage had been . We split up when he realized he wasn ' t ready for a commitment he ' d only been out of a 30 year marriage for a short time and had also lost a son . But it opened my mind and heart to the joys of love . I really have no desire to get back on the Tinder dating carousel now .
