Two things are going on here. I've been eternally single, always somebody who's just got on with stuff on my own. We're in the midst of a pandemic, pregnant at 39, suddenly everything changes. If I was you, I'd just go out on Friday night and see what happens. It's not cheaper, well okay thanks, but the 25-year-old thing basically said to me, you don't have to rush, you're 37, but just take your time.
