To date or not to date.....

This is what I'm getting matched with (yahoo, match, eharmony, plentyoffish):
“The most influential person in Ervin's life has been:
• I would have to say my widow.”
your widow? hmm.... gotta say I've never tried dating a dead man before
“I have been divorced for about 14 years and still can't meet the right person who will accept me as who I am.”
um…. how the hell can you meet people if you stand them up? (this guy has stood up at least 12 women on the first date. yes, one was me - after he begged and begged me to go out with him)
“About Me
Lets see I like all kinds of things!!! Women, cars(1967 Cougar) the way a woman looks when see is getting ready to cum!!! “
uh, yeah... this one looks like a winner! (GAG!!!)
“So i started taking Pictures, all of them are taken by me let me know what you thing.
Like so me feed back. Thinking of taking a class.”
what can I say?
Hell, I must be quite the catch to get matches with THESE guys!

Lizzie Hun,
The pickin's really are getting slim out there. I have to be honest, that even though I do gripe once in a while, I really am pretty content being single.
Taking a break has really helped me get many other life situations under control. Might be worth thinking about.

You know what I truly believe there IS someone out there for everyone. It's just you have to kiss one hell of a lot of arses never mind frogs to find 'em!
I wasn't looking when I met Paul, in fact, as many of you know, I was very anti the whole relationship crap thing. We started chatting over my picking on Chewy of all things and have never looked back. (Except to make sure Chewy wasn't following us of course)
Having said that, I also met David when I wasn't looking and the less said about THAT the better so I suppose in summary what I'm trying to say is Don't Look.. but with your eyes open!
lots of love
Helen

Internet dating is a very legitmate way to meet available men, so don't be too quick to give up on it. People who look like dopes in their bios often don't have very good skills at marketing themselves, and even first dates can be deceiving. Married folks and others in long-term relationships who have been out of the dating scene for a while don't have a clue how the Internet has helped to open up the dating possibilities. It sure beats meeting people in bars where a little alcohol can really mess up your better judgement and keep you from asking the pertinent questions.
You can also meet new people when you get involved in charitable activities, political campaigns, adult educaton classes, and groups in which you have a real interest.
You are in a situation which is envied by more people than you can imagine--free to start again without a lot of encumbrances. I think it's a lot like the lottery--if you don't play, you can't win, except with much, much better odds.

And the feathers of birds

When I met Ted I had given up on the male species completly. He became my best friend instantly and we became inseperable only to become lovers and then spouses. I still remember the conversation like it was yesterday on weather we should start dating or not and risk our friendship. Alas that was 26 years ago.
Liz, you have alot to offer a relationship. Dont give up yet. Just remember it is likely to come when least expecting it. Keep living life to its fullest and love will find you! As far as how to go about finding love there is the internet, church, friends, blind dates, bars, bowling leagues, sporting events, volunteer work, job, etc.
My son Anthony met his wife while he was working as the breadstick boy at Fazollis Italian resteraunt. She kept comming in and he keept bringing her bread sticks. She eventually gave him her phone number and the rest is history. Theyve been married a couple of years now and are happy. Just goes to show ya love will find ya when its time and in the most unlikely places.

Lizzie, I am like Brew, would not have the foggiest on how to date.  I wish you the best in your search, the right one is out there for you.

My opinion:
Most ( I said most, not all) of the good ones are taken.
Your small children are usually an annoyance to them after a short time.
It's really hard to find keepers once you've left school/college, unless you get together through friends or in the workplace.
Divorcees are vulnerable for two years after the split. Then they are ready to play the field. Beware. If you do get together in a serious nature, he will take "her" pictures down and put them away. If not, that's a bad sign that he's not over her.
Widowers are also vulnerable, but if they had a good marriage, they miss a loving partner, so they tend to make for a good relationship/marriage.
How do I think I know this? I've been alone since 1972 and have had plenty of time to experience the various examples mentioned.
Now, I'm an old woman looking for a blind hunk.

Lizzie, it is a scary thought! I met Gil 35 yrs ago, and have never looked back......the first thing I told him, however, was that I would not be dating, and marriage was something I had given up on............go figger!
As far as advice? Sheesh! Well, let's see. I am a realtor. As such(or in current market conditions), I list a house,and it takes an inordinately long time to sell. Sellers are getting frustrated, and ask what they can do to help things along. I suggestthey leave some lingerie on the floor....something really embarrassing if someone sees it..........it's about letting your guard down, and letting things happen naturally!
*** Important caveat: Do NOT....repeat, do NOT decided to go to work commando, Lizzie.....you'll only catch a cold! You need to find some other way to espress the fact that you are not in the market........
Oh, and I agree with Helen.......there's someone out there for each and every person...........you just gotta find em!
