How do I prove that something did not happen?
I am a man in my late 50s. Until recently, I was in a long-distance relationship with a woman -- let’s call her “Maria” -- who lives about a thousand miles away from me. Last month, out of the blue, she accused me of cheating on her with her cousin, who lives about 45 minutes away from me. This is 100% not true. I met the cousin only once, when Maria was in town for a visit last year.
Being so lonely, a few months ago I started going on Facebook and a dating app to try to meet men. I connected with one man I was interested in. Instead of stopping there, though, I kept chatting around and connected with seven more guys. I chat with each of them daily. They all say that they’ll love me forever, but not one has come to meet me in person yet. I’d prefer to have a boyfriend whom I could actually meet in person.
Rather than wasting your time chatting with these men online, get outside and get to know your new town. Join a book club, walking group, tennis clinic -- anything that piques your interest. The point is to plant your seed and let a social life take root., and when you think you have a connection with someone, promptly make plans to meet in person in a coffee shop or other public place.
