The one thing these guys had in common? We met through mutual interests. Music, agricultural college, animal rescue and gaming.
I suppose what I am getting at is I am not sure about the wisdom in looking specifically for a bf. Sometimes it's when we aren't looking that things turn up.

Anyway, take care of yourself first and the rest will follow.

Incidentally did spend 6 years single too, and that was great for me because I really learned what I did and didn't want.
What I would and wouldn't put up with. And it taught me not to be afraid of being alone.
