I just started talking to a woman today on a site called Okcupid. Although I would rather meet someone in my everyday life, the online dating is easy. What if I don't like them after meeting them though? Meeting in person first would keep that from happening. I don't know. I know that at this point I am only talking to women online because I miss female attention. I am not sure how ready I am for a true relationship.

omg--I know that site! went there very briefly at the insistence of a friend. my first 3 matches included a man with no legs, a biker with a beard down to his waist, and a warlock who wanted a menage-a-trois with a woman who would also be a caregiver for his ailing wife.

such was my brief experience with online dating!

^^^ Yeah, the free sites do have some freaks on them! Maybe when I am completely serious about it I will pay for match.com or something. smile

meetup.com is awesome for meeting people just for fun and plenty of men! (or women) When I am ready, I hope to just get involved in activities and meet the men that way. Of course I will be doing the online dating as well. Quantity leads to quality!

yeah don't know if any other male DBers between 32-40 live in OR or WA!!! there are some great catches on this board wink

i'm assistant of a meetup group for single parents, I've made good female friends there, there are more ladies there than guys...but it is nice to be with a group of people who understand what it is to be a single parent

It is no longer about the divorce or about her. It's all about how I live my life now.

Found a really cool website today about meeting people. It's called approachanxiety.com. Basic principle behind it is that you cannot wait to let things happen, you have to make them happen by being willing and able to approach people. It gives you the goal of opening or talking to one person a day until you get good at. All kinds of tips and articles to read and very interesting. Talks a lot about valuing yourself and not letting you talk yourself down. It's kind of geared towards guys but I'm sure some of you lovely ladies on here may find it interesting!
