I have someone whom I WISH were my husband, but he came to visit 2 weeks ago and I don't like that he smokes - he smokes a lot. We've discussed getting married, but he believes all romantic relationships are doomed to fail. So here I am- alone. I, too, tried online dating back in 2004/2005. I did meet a couple guys that I'm still friends with but none of the people I dated ended up in a relationship with me.

ADDING:

I was divorced after an 8-year marriage. Dated online for a while but that didn't seem to go well. Now I'm not dating anyone and I live alone so yeah. I do like living alone so far- it's easy to keep the smaller place clean, both because it's smaller and because I don't have to pick up after anyone other than myself. Living with the kids, they were messy. So was my ex husband - messy. I guess that means I was messy too, but now I'm neat. I haven't made my bed today but I had to get up quickly and take my youngest's girlfriend to work. It's easy to keep things tidy.
