The best way is to stay safe! No one has to know about the long period you were out of the scene. But, if you want to go back on, 'the market,' be cool about it. Do stuff with your church, people there will naturally want to hook you up and it will be with your best interest in mind. Or if there's some activity or hobby you like a lot, join a club, or take a class. The bar scene is just too goofy, and there is just so much crap out there you have to be careful! Stay in safe places, and be around safe people. Good Luck! :)

Very very carefully. Do this in your own time. Go out and do things. Things that you enjoy - you will meet people with the same interests.
Always have a way out of a date - what I mean is this. For a first date - plan a luncheon date, and that you have to pick up your daughter/friend or whatever at a certain time. This way if the date is a bomb, you have an out. IF.. the date is great, hey, he'll definitely call again!
Good Luck to you - first of all though, be sure you take time for you. You've been in a relationship for 32 years and you deserve some time for you before thinking of hooking up again with someone.

Good Lord do I know what your talking about....
My kids had to help me out too!
Well first and foremost you already know about the dating scene on the computer. Set some definate guidlines as to who you will chat with and what you will chat about.
If it ever gets to the point where you decide that you want to meet with someone....always make sure its someone local...and not from out of state.
The most important rule is....never ever never ever go alone. Always tell the person you are meeting that your bringing a couple of friends with you for moral support. If he backs down from the meet you will know he was scamming you.
Watch the papers for events that you may enjoy. Concerts, craft shows, etc. Its always nice to meet people involved with activities that you enjoy. Join a local community activities center.
Sign up for classes.
Your daughter is right....when its ready to happen it will...I'm still waiting but at least I've learned to write a cojent sentence or two!!
Good luck!

Be prepared.
Get the following together and bring them to a local bar (or restaurant, bowling alley, or just any alley...)
Bring a willingness to fail and a desire to persevere.
Bring a sense of humor and self esteem.
Bring confidence and your wits.
Bring a condom.
Let the chips fall where they may. Returning to dating is easy. It is just like riding a bike. It would only be difficult if you wanted to date someone outside your bracket, say a 19 year old. As long as you stick to people who can understand your situation and see some similarity in their own, everything is else is just like Junior High/High School and College... talk to people you like, spend time with them, enjoy each other....
Age is only in your mind. You are never as old as your Drivers Liscence says unless you believe that you are.

Being from North Carolina myself, I welcome you here with open arms! We will "love you real good" , as we say when you get here, and accept you as one of us. Dating? Nothing to it! Just like riding a bicycle.....get back out there. Marriage of 32 years just gives you lots of experience on how to treat a man....."Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina....in the morning!" Come on down.....we'll leave the light on for you!
