34F, single for 4 years. Does anyone else just miss having a partner to do life with?

I’m 34F, single, and generally pretty happy with my life. I have a good career, my own place, friends, hobbies, and I enjoy my independence. But sometimes I really wish I had someone to do life with.
It’s not even necessarily about marriage or kids anymore. It’s the everyday little things. For example, I recently paid someone $100 to assemble furniture and thought, damn, it would be nice to have a man around to help with this stuff. 😂 Or someone to take out the trash, split household responsibilities, run errands with, or even split this ridiculous California AC bill lol

Obviously, I can do all these things myself. I’ve been doing them for years. I just miss having a partner, someone to share the mundane parts of life with, not just the exciting ones.

For context, I was with my ex for 10 years and engaged at 30. About six months before our wedding, I found out he was unfaithful and ended the engagement. So being single wasn’t exactly how I imagined my 30s going.

I’ve dated over the past four years, but nothing has really worked out. It seems like whenever I get to the three-month mark and bring up wanting something serious, I hear some variation of “I’m not ready for a relationship.” At that point, I usually walk away because I don’t want to waste anyone’s time, including my own.

I’m not miserable being single, and I’m definitely not looking for someone just to pay bills or do chores. I genuinely want companionship, partnership, and someone to build a life with, problem solve and just deal with life together.

For those who have been single for a while, do you ever feel this way? How do you deal with those moments when you enjoy your life but still wish you had someone to share it with?

36 m4f Southern California. looking for something more serious.

I don't always have a mustache and i wear glasses when I don't have my contacts in.

I'm short 5'8 150lbs. I look like a white boy but Im Cuban and first generation American. Si hablo Espanol. Blue eyes and dirty blonde hair.

I can be pretty reserved but also am extroverted if I'm comfortable which doesn't take too long, normally.

I've been single for about 7 years by choice. I'm not lonely but i am getting older so i figured I'd better get started since I know what I want.

I'm not great at selling myself, especially in this type of format.

If any nice women would like to chat and maybe meet hmu and ill tell you more about myself. Thanks and God bless everyone who reads this. I hope you will find what you need in this life :)

30F looking for dating in LA!

Hi! Valley native looking for dating with intention. I’m hoping to meet someone who is ultimately looking for a relationship and not just a hook up or situationship.

A little about me: really obsessed with metalcore and deathcore! You’ll find me in the pit most weekends 😋 I have about 10 shows this month that I’m looking forward to! When I’m not at shows, I’m spending my time outside hiking or running, fishing and camping.

Tell me what shows you got coming up or what song you currently have on repeat. :)

Open to talking

23[M4F] - Hello, I’m a 23-year-old Latino from the east Hollywood area. I have an average body type, and I’m on the shorter side, at like 5’7-5’8. I live not too far from Griffith Park, so I love to hike whenever I get the chance. I’ve also been trying to get back into running lately. I love sports, specifically baseball and soccer. I’m also a nerd when it comes to video games and anime, so hmu if you’re into the same things. I don’t have any preferences or “a type”. I love all kinds of women (short, petite, big, dark, light, etc.). I think beauty is subjective and Ik what I like in terms of looks and personality. Dm if you’re interested 👍
