what's wrong?
| Thu, 12-21-2006 - 8:28pm |
I've been divorced for 7 years almost and have had about only one date per year on average; consequently, no second dates! At 35, and not to sound pessimistic, but I feel time has escaped me. Some of my best friends are guys, but they are all married. To make up for the void, I have thrown myself into my work which keeps me more than busy. But there must be something I could do to make my prospects not seem so bleak...I feel like I'm emanating some vibe?

I hope you will consider this. Back off a little on your work and throw yourself into something else. Where would like minded people be(people like you)? For me, it was Lions Club. And yes, the vibe...we all have it. I think mine said 'married' for way too long. You just can't be ready until you're ready. Five years and counting here. I've had way too many wierd dates/first dates, and just one really good one, but I am too young(46)for him. Happy Holidays to you(and everyone here).

Hi t-girl, you say that some of your best friends are guys. They would be the perfect people to ask this question. Sure, they're married, but they're still men! ;-) And they see you "in action". I'm sure they could give you a good perspective of the way you come off to men and people in general.
And as REbecca said, online dating can be a great way to get back out there, meet a lot of people and have fun. I consider her one of our more successful online daters! She's out there dating up a storm and having a great time. Are you doing it already? If so, this is a good board for asking questions and if you're willing, give good feedback on your profile - people out here can give some great constructive criticism because we're looking at it like a potential dater would as a complete stranger so that helps.
