I am new to this board and am seriously thinking about dating again after an extremely long absence. I have been separated for 2 and half years after being married for 22+ yrs.
I honestly don't know where to look, where to start?
I work in retail so the majority of people i encounter are female, scared of online dating as i have heard many horror stories.
Any advice is welcome

Hi and welcome! Getting back into the dating game is an adventure that's for sure.


Have you tired getting involved with a church or civic group? Some people enjoy volunteering and it has the added bonus of getting you out and around like minded people. That can be a great way to meet new people.


While I agree that there are many horror stories about online dating, I also have heard more success stories than horror stories. You might want to reconsider and give it a try. I would start out with a free site or a trial membership to see if you like it.


You can also check into Speed Dating or a dating service like It's Just Lunch.


I'm sure some of our other posters will have ideas for you too. Be sure and check back.
