In my teen and early adult years dating was never a problem. I was never alone. I joined the military and was gone for 4 years. When I came back home everything had changed. Maybe because now I am 27 and dating is not as easy as it used to be. It was hard to date in the military because you really don't have time, and most of the soldiers wives they had were unfaithful so I just didn't even make an attempt while I was in. Anyways I am out now, I am not rich but make more money than most of my friends, I don't think I'm unattractive, but am different from the training I recieved while in the Army. Most of the women I hit on are usually taken or married, but to be honost I don't even really try. I give up to easily, and then I start contemplating if it's even worth being in a relationship anymore with all the crap, and stress of adult life.

Sounds like you may need more time alone to de-stress from your military experience. Focus for a while on what makes you happy by engaging in activities that you like. It is possible you may meet a girl who also likes what you like.
When you are ready, alert friends, co-workers, relatives, neighbors--EVERYONE that knows you-- that you are available for dates. Let them do the screening for you!

My sister is 27 and has been out looking for a quality man for a long time now. She tells me the same things you just stated. I don't why it seems harder when you're older, but apparently it is. Maybe you should just let the right girl come to you? I'm sorry I don't have much advice, but hey where do you live? I could set you up on a date with my sister! :)

I was in the same situation as you after my divorce. I started dating by using Yahoo Personals. I had some very bad dates and some very good ones. People don't always reflect their profile (like the one lady who had a picture of herself in a bikini and ended up being about 250 LBS), but on the whole the dating experience was good. I met someone and have been dating them for almost a year thanks to this service.

Here's some food for thought:
This life is difficult, and it helps to share it.
IMHO, There is no greater joy in life than being a parent.
What do you want in life? Do you have dreams or goals? Perhaps the first step is in defining them and making a plan to attain them.
Family is a great help in times of trouble.
Helping family is both a job and a joy.
It's okay to be happy alone.
If you believe in God, try joining a church - it's good for your soul, and you can make friends, as well.
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.'
Good luck.

I would suggest trying the internet personals like on Yahoo, Match.com, or the like. You will of course cross paths with your share of nut jobs and freaks BUT it will only take that one good date that you go on to change your whole life around. If you feel weird saying what your doing to your friends then keep it under wraps until THE ONE enters your life. Good Luck dude and don't give up.

Ask your brother/sister/friend/close relative to bring around some friends that you may be compatible with and meet with them in a relaxed friendly atmosphere.
Good Luck, and thanks for keeping us safe!

When you're not looking for it, it comes. Focus on yourself and everthing else will into place.
