internet dating?
Published Jun. 19, 2008
Good afternoon GOLO, I have a question for you out there in GOLO land. I have many single friends. Some are single with child(ren) but not a significant other. A lot of us have started to give up hope that there are no good men out there. Where are they? Where on Gods green earth can they be found? I will use me as an example. I am 30, no kids, gainfully employed and no criminal convictions and decent credit. I havent had a date in almost three years? I have been told that my standards and expectations are too high. So do I lower them? One of my friends said she was going to go and do the online thing (match.com), (eharmony) etc..What do you all think? Would you? Wouldnt you? Single women on GOLO where do you all go to meet men? Or is it true that there are just no good men out there?

You make a great point. THere used to be a song that said something about "maybe your knight in shining armor is standing right there at your side".
GG - I have friends who have met their spouses online through online dating and others that tried it and swear it was a mess. I say maybe give it a shot....

And I've not changed my mind in going on 3 years.
I think he's the sexiest man I ever laid eyes on, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. He loves me, and believe me, my ex-husband NEVER did. Not even when we got married.
Suffice to say, there may well be a man in your life someplace that you've never considered.
No need to force yourself to consider men who like, repel you, but by all means, the ones that are sorta just 'there'? They might turn attractive on you.
You never know. :)

When I met my boyfriend (we've been dating for right about 2 years, 9 months this week), I thought 'oh... he seems like a nice guy.'.
I was unhappily married, and I didn't give him (my bf) much thought beyond that he seemed nice enough.
Eventually, over time, I got to know him as a friend, because he shared a cubicle with one of the girls I worked with, and lots of us used to go to lunch together and such. He even met my husband back then, one night when we went out as a group for dinner.
I had NO designs on him... he wasn't like any other man I'd ever dated. And of course, I was married, and rather depressed.
Time went by, and my husband and I split (it was a good thing... he has 'issues'... I sorta think even his issues have issues. It was a bad marriage, truly, and there wasn't any way to fix it).
My now bf and I were still friends during that time (cont.)

She would need to know how to make a pot of coffee. She would need to know or be willing to learn how to cook animal parts She would be self confident and have good self esteem. She would need to have self interests. She would know that happiness comes from within. She would know that she is beautiful without excessive makeup. She would not squander money. She would not squander time. She would not waste time searching for things (Her keys, Her self) She would not spend 6 hrs a day talking on the phone. She would not be overly needy. She would not be afraid to get her hands dirty. She would not put her fingernails before her family. She would know how to shoot a shotgun. She would to know how to change a flat tire.
