Awww....well good for you!!! Why don't you try hanging out somewhere that reflects your interests.....that will provide you lots of ladies with your same interests so that's a plus.....start conversations and get your number out there!
i have known several people, including single parents, who were serious about long-term relationships and met people they ended up marrying through match.com
I live in MD, close to DC. I think I will make better use of attractions and events in the area and just see what happens ..... cause.... you never know :-)
I'm in a rut. I need to get out. I haven't dated in the last two years, and to say the least, it is getting old.
First, lets cover the basics.
Physical: African American - 5'9 still attrative - don't look my age. I do need to lose some weight and am working on it. I'm in the gym 4 to 5 days a week - can run between 3 and 5 miles a day and still bench 225+
Marital Status: Divorced - 2 kids, 17 and 13. I know what your thinking, but my kids are very good - not crazy teenagers running around.
Career: I'm a software engineer, making good money.
Home: 5 bed room single family, 2 car garage, yada, yada, yada
Personality: I'm shy at first but warm up quickly. I have a quick wit and sharp mind. I'm comfortable with most topics of conversation. I do tend to think a lot and have a tendency to over analyise. But if your up for an intellectual challenge I'm your guy.
Other: I love to cook, I play music (bass, guitar and drums) and am very romantic - holding hands, long walks, that sort of thing.
So what's the problem? I can't seem find anyone to date. I've seen threads on this forum where women are saying that there are no good men other, yet I'm having a hard time finding someone I like to talk to, date and more.
What am I looking for? Well, I'm looking for an Asian or latin female between say 35 and 45 that will date an african american. Must be in the DC/MD/VA area - sorry, not interested in long distance.
As for physical characteristics: someone that is easy on the eyes, is slender to average, etc... (Any filipina's out there - I love the pinay look)
Any suggestions on where to go, what to do, where to look?
With credentials like that, you're what they call a "Casserole magnet." Unless of course you have halitosis or something.
That's what women around here call a man who is a good catch. As in women just show up on your doorstep with casseroles. It's a southern thing, evidently.
I'm a widower and 38 with two kids and am starting to think that down the road I will check out some of the sites etc. (Match.com seems interesting).
For now, I'm just not ready for a relationship although just going out for a date and getting out seems interesting. Hmmm...how do you post up in a personal ad that you just want to go out on occasional fun dates without coming off as someone looking for one-nighters? I guess you just have to word it clearly.
