I've tried for 6 1/2 mos. Been scammed once, that was fun....not. I'm a nice honest person and even will be friends as I have none right now due to relocation. I'm not employed right now due to a family emergency and I am the only child, so I don't get out much unless it's by myself and we all know that's fun, huh? Twice divorced and no kids, 2 dogs, living in a senior community due to the family emergency, I have no life......Help?????

Well, I fully understand where you are coming from. I too have tried several personal sites, to no avail, been used, been scammed. I have no idea why. I am a nice and honest person myself and about the only thing I can think if is that the same people are on all of these sites. Have you noticed that? I actuall had one of themore reputable ones ask me to change my preferences to allow a broader base for them to choose from/ Umm, no, I am who I am and know what I am and I am not looking for in a man. I even went to a couple of those singles mixers, the same people over and over again - and they tried to get me to keep coming, like it was a club or something.
If you would like to talk and have an e-mail pal, I know it isn't much, but I am available, that is unless you are from the Western NY area, in that case, we can go out looking for guys together anyway! Hey, at least we'd be getting out! Smile and be yourself and the right person for you right now will find you and you never know where that can be!
Good luck, I hope you find some one really nice to date.

Duty onto family and self. Take breather to stock and match words to deeds. Learn to listen and hear of others and do likewise. Then find order where all is chaos. Into chaos from order do time reveal, and in it shall bliss find you.
In short, impose your will on events that you can control.
Priortise, withdraw and look at the situation around you.
Understand and perceive the needed tasks; discard the unecessary "important" things. (e.g. making 5 trips to the mart when you only need 2.)
Reorganise your time according to importance and real needs, get a routine to bring order to give time to activities in your day, but a rountine that you can get out off once the emergency has passed.
With spare time, look into part time jobs for petty cash and keep you in the loop of people interaction.
Both activities will give you extended knowledge of the area and in time, where to find the things you need and would like to have.

You seem like a wonderful person. Don't rush things. I know that it is important to socialize. Try mediums like this or some chat areas to fill in the blanks for a while. Your family emergency will not last forever and you will get to know people and be able to go out and have fun. Not a mercy date but I would take you out just knowing that your needing to have some social fun. Stress is bad and left unchecked can cause problems of your own. Hang in there and take care of yourself, Ok?

Why not take a step backwards and not try so hard !!
Try doing/going somewhere u like to do things.
Even if its somewhere that is an all girls group
this can be the best outlets in life, my friends can
set me up sometimes better than I can find on my
own.. I hope u understand what I am trying to say
and it helps... Just take a deep breath and enjoy
what u have, things will get better......

That sucks... But you need to get out some... Go to a bar... kareoke... bookstore... take some girlfriends with you and go "Hunting!"
For dating to work, you need to "Be the kind of person you want to find." Make a list of everything you want in a man...and... then go over the list and check the items you "are not." Then you know what you need to work on to get the kind of uy you want. I'd say write down a hundred items before you go back over it.
I hope this helps.

You may not be "applying" to a big enough area. If you are in a small suburb, try applying in a larger radius of the big city. You will get more results that way.

Good things come to those who wait.
They do work, maybe you need to lower your standards a little to get some hits. Go over them one more time and re-word your expectations. Good Luck!
