Angela, you are so right!! Why should being with someone else take precedence over being happy with yourself and feeding your passions. Like minded folks find each other thru living their lives with intention. I am divorced, mother of one and have not met a man who I would like to start a relationship with, but my cadre of friends is large and if the relationship comes along it is welcome.

Through work and friends, but none have really worked out, and networking is very time consuming, and I only have so much energy, so nothing's happening right now.

hi,,can you help me how to get real date??

Have you tried online dating services?

LOL - I met my husband at our 10 yr high school reunion!

We had gone all through Jr high and high school together and had never dated.

My 10 yr reunion came up just after my divorce from my 1st husband, and my (now husband) and I met back up at the reunion and started going out as "just friends". 2 years later we were married!

It's been over 7 years now.

I wouldn't like meeting someone online as a date, i would rather meet face to face, at least that way we know what we look like, and if we like each other after seeing each other then thats a good thing. I am afraid of rejection, i would get really hurt if setting up a meeting with some one on line and when we meet she doesn't like what she sees, that wouldn't be a good thing for me. better safe than sorry

I agree that you definitely need a face to face meeting before you can gauge if there is any real chemistry with a potential date but I do think there are some advantages to finding a date online too.

By using an online dating service, you can choose your date based not only on their physical attributes but also on how compatible you might be with that person. An online profile gives you the little details about someone that you could never get by just eyeing that person from across the room. I think it offers a slight advantage over meeting in traditional ways just by providing some background information before even bothering to take the chemistry test.

That all depends if their telling the truth on their profile. either way people lie. But i feel people lie more on the net than in person. i'm so untrusting of people,

I new a very young woman who faced a similar situation to yours. She started by taking short walks with me and then going on dates. We finally figured out that the best thing for her was a large friendly dog. The dog and therapy gave her her life back. The dog still goes everywhere with her but now she gets out of the house whenever she needs to.

hypno therapy works... find someone who will do work with you and do the hypnotherapy in one session. Use someone who uses sound, smell etc. A really good hypno therepist can in one session of 2-3 hours, change everything but good hypno therapists engage all of your senses....

Fight for your yourself. You only have one life, do whatever you need to to have the kind of life you want. Good luck!

Charming, you mention Plentyofish I have been on that site for sometime but finally left, For an example of deceiving people i was chatting with this woman, off n on. we get telling each other stuff. Then i met this other woman and off the bad she told me she was a Psychic and started telling me stuff about me and my family, at first i thought it was awesome.
After a few days i put it all together, she was the same person different name. That wasn't the first site or first person who had deceived me. So i just stopped going to the dating sites altogether. It may work for some, But not for me
