Once you get out of the mess you are in, you need to look into some new options for finding men. I would count out OLD if I were you. I would also NOT try to date ANYONE you have known for years or anyone you meet at the bar. No building contractors either. Lol.


You are an outdoorsy person like me so I will tell you how I did well without even trying. When I go four wheeling/motorcycling/snowmobiling I meet women. When I go to the lake boating/camping, I meet women. You need to go do things and meet people. I think I remember you have a jet ski and there is no better way to meet a guy than at the river or a lake. If I go to the lake I can always find a woman who is there without a boat who wants to get on the lake, or find someone on a jetski who wants to go boarding or tubing with me. I don't usually even have to ask, they ask me. Take your ATV to the woods four-wheeling. Lots of guys/gals in the woods riding. Last time I was at Hatfield/McCoy it was a blast.


Just don't go the usual routes for men...change your MO.

OLD seems to suck. I think I have exhausted the men I have known forever, unless one of the five married good ones, suddenly become divorced or widowed.

See and that is a huge problem. I don't have anything right now. I do jet ski, ride atvs and shoot guns but Indo not currently own any of my own. I even sold my jeep last summer.

I can take my fishing pole and go fish but I never run into men. My daughters playing baseball. Maybe a single dad will just happen to come to practice or a game.

Here's the paradox. No healthy, well-adjusted, decent guy is going to be comfortable getting together with a woman whose goal is to land a guy.

Yes, when you do it like you did. 60 *dates* in 30 days or something.

Take time get to know them talking, only go out with ones who will go on a date, and get to know them before trying to have them live with you.

It was like 61 guys in three months. Most I texted for a few days before meeting. But then I would rather just see them, their bodily language, how they carry themselves and go from there. For the most part, I found them to be weird acting, clingy, nothing like their picture, or really loud and abrasive.

Please none of them even got a kiss, let alone trying to bring them home to live with me. I am not one to touch anyone unless I am super close to them already.

Have you ever been taken out on dates before becoming intimate?

There are many definitions to the term "easy."

Thinking in terms viewing yourself as "easy" or "not easy" when you are over 23 or so.... Another red flag for any mature, together guy.

Your first step in your quest to find a long-term relationship/husband should be to get yourself to some long-term therapy.
