I feel your pain. I just had this somewhat same conversation with my friend E the other day. Of course she met her husband 2 weeks before her divorce was final and family friends hooked them up. She never had to do the online dating route at all. She went from one marriage right into dating another guy into marrying him. No lag time, of course I wouldn't say their marriage is all that fantastic but whatever. I came to my feelings because yet again I decided to give online dating a shot and again I practically want to slam my head against the wall for ever doing it, I hate it, I know it works for some people but it frustrates me to no end and I vow after my latest period of doing it is up I am NEVER doing it again and if I even entertain the idea of doing it again I told my friend Wendie to shoot me. It's agonizing and I just cannot stand it.
Almost all my friends are married, none of their friends are single to fix me up. Gone seem to be the days where your friends/family fix you up with someone that you would be compatible with. Online dating seems to be the only game in town or going out so and I'm just not really into the bar scene, so I guess unless I bump into Mr. Right at a restaurant, social event or grocery store it just isn't happening for me.
Heck I had season tickets for over 6 years to hockey because I love it until the team moved out of state. You would think I would meet tons of single men. Uhhhh NO! I met hockey players but not really single guys and while hanging out with the players was fun I still didn't meet single guys to have a relationship with.
I go to bars occasionally but I'm turning 35 in May, it just really isn't something I'm into on a regular basis, I kind of outgrew it I guess. I did it quite a bit for several years after my divorce but it just got OLD as well.

Yes I just posted this same thing in my thread "I'm so bored I could scream".
This is a great post - and you're so right.
I'm almost 30 and I feel the same way.
