Wow. I live in not-giant town. There are maybe 2 or 3 guys on OKC that I would consider, in a given 6 month period. I was going to say, 'When you want a second date.'
I have nothing useful to offer for your 'embarrassment of riches' problem :/.
Well, the area where I live has a population of 9,331,587 according to the 2012 Census Estimate.
Secondly, I think the dating website that I use does a good job of matching people who are compatible.
Thirdly, I raised the age that I would consider dating to slightly out of my comfort zone.
So, when you add all three together, I think it possibly yields more matches than in other circumstances. I don't think I'm doing anything special to garner such attention, but I realize it's a good problem to have.
Also, I want to say that not every week is fruitful. Some are better than others and up until a few weeks ago, I hadn't found anyone I wanted to date. If I date through the current batch, it may be a while until I discover anyone new.
You don't seem too excited about any of the guys you have met so far since they are "acceptable". I would find someone you are really excited to see again.

well, part of it is that I get the attention of more attractive guys in bars and out in public, so I'm used to better-looking suitors. I know that probably sounds horrible to say, but it's the truth, I'm not really that attracted physically to the guys I'm finding online.
But I've found that the men who want to start talking to me the most are about 5+ years older than me, so I'm guessing men who are my age are looking for women 5+ years younger than me, and while I think I look decent for my age, I can't compete with 20 somethings.

hmmm, so why don't you date the more attractive guys that you meet in public?

I stopped drinking so I stopped going to bars. Also, you know how it can be in the bar scene, things seem to be going well, but sometimes nothing pans out. Either you don't meet anyone or you do, but then either one or both of you lose interest and nothing comes of it. And I hope I don't sound ageist when I say this, but I think I'm a little old to be meeting people in bars.

A lot of people I go out with drink a diet coke, water or Ice tea while Im having a beer or mixed drink. What is too old to meet someone in a bar? Maybe a dance club that caters to 20 somethings.
I'm just really not interested in going to bars anymore. It's also hard to find girlfriends to go out with. Most of my friends are married with babies now.
I can't tell, in just one date, whether I am attracted to someone. I have to know them better.
All I can tell on a first date is if it is not a definite, 'no way' (which, online, most of them are).
