A listener called into The Bobby Bones Show asking whether Amy planned to date again, noting that she had not discussed her dating life much recently and wondering if she was talking to anyone.
Amy shared that she does not have a specific plan when it comes to dating, but believes she will likely date again in the future. She remains open to the possibility, although she is not currently dating anyone. When asked whether she wanted to be alone for the rest of her life, Amy admitted that she had considered it. However, she does not believe that is what she ultimately wants. While she feels capable of living on her own, she believes it would eventually become lonely. Bobby questioned whether her motivation for finding someone was simply to avoid being alone. Amy said that was not the case, and she reflected on her mother’s experience, explaining that her mother never dated again and eventually became content living independently. Amy believes she could follow a similar path if she chose to, but she does not want that for herself. Rather than seeking a relationship out of fear of loneliness, Amy said she wants to experience life alongside another person.
When Bobby asked whether she was actively trying to meet someone, Amy said she wasn't. She is not using any dating apps and does not currently plan to return to them. Amy had tried dating apps in the past and they were not the right fit for her. Bobby pressed further, asking how she expected her situation to change if she was not actively looking. Amy said she remains open to opportunities that arise naturally, then referencing her ex-boyfriend, which began after being introduced through mutual connections, and thinks something similar could happen for her again. Although, she admitted it's challenging meeting people organically. Her friend recently asked what she had been doing to put herself in situations where she might meet someone and Amy admitted she had spent much of her recent time at home. One of her single friends is always going out with groups and meeting new people, but Amy admitted she doesn't have the desire to do that, but her feelings could change in the future.
