Ok, I've been divorced for @ 9 years now.
I've dated a few guys. Short term only. They all had major, and I mean MAJOR issues that I will NOT deal with. Alcoholism and sex addictions with *weird* fantasies that he wanted me to act out - NOT!

Now, I'm not the bell of the ball, mind you. But, I'm not going to settle for something that is not right for me, either. So, this leaves me alone - for nine years!

It's not that I haven't tried meeting new men; I have. I've done the classes; the gym; the bars; even the supermarkets! LOL! I've gone on dating sites. I met one man on one, but, we just didn't click, so that didn't work.

I'm not overly fussy. I'm not expecting perfection. I won't accept addictions; liars; and cheaters. I don't have to have a Prince Charming - don't believe they exist. Besides that, I'm not perfect and I know it, so, I cannot expect it from someone else.

After my divorce, I didn't care if I met anyone else or not. I liked being alone. But, now, I really do want someone else to "witness my life" as they say. I would just like someone to talk with; watch a movie with; go to dinner with occasionally; and yea, snuggle with once in a while.
Is that too much to ask for?

What's wrong with me? Do I have to be doomed to live alone for the rest of my life?

Peace!

I hope you find the right person to witness your life. Just keep on trying thats all you can do.

Anyone have any other suggestions for meeting people?
Oh yea, I also go to services semi regularly.
And work as a teacher.

Peace!
