I know that you're looking for something more substantial - a true meeting of the minds and hearts, but if you can emotionally handle the casual scene it might boost your mood and self esteem, and that would make you look more appealing to potential long-term partners.

I've heard both positive and negative things about apps like Tinder. If I wasn't with someone, and if I was absolutely heartsick due to being alone, I'd have no problem giving one of them a try. There are also more conservative dating sites like Match. Unfortunately, we're guys and we wouldn't be likely to get a dozen emails so we'd have to approach and probably strike out with a lot of women just like if we were at a bar, but I suppose that's the way that the world works. And hell, as far as I know you're 6' 4", rich, with the personal magnetism of Chris Hemsworth or whoever ladies go nuts for these days - you might bury me and any other potential competition on Match.
