I'm not getting married at all but it was interesting reading the replys. If I havn't met someone in the last ten years I know I will never ever meet any one now. There are certain people in life that things don't happen normally.Iv'e heard all the comments like stop looking and it will happen.but it never does.Then there are the others like someone I know who doesn't have to leave the house and gets a date. Unfortunutly life just isn't fair. I will leave the question for others to pick best answer

First, please do not settle for the first person you meet just to fit it in to your time line, unless you really think that person is "the one"!
Keep an eye out in the local free papers, or the activities/ events section of your daily paper or their website. A lot of times there are clubs, dances and trips just for people like you, without needing to deal with crazy people from personal ads or the Internet...just meeting people in every day life like we did before the Internet came around!

why this year? if it happens great, but don't put that kind of pressure on yourself because you are almost guaranteed to not get married or at the very least marry the wrong person.......as far as meeting people see if any friends have any single friends, take some night classes like cooking or auto repair. if you don't want to do dating sites try some of the chat groups (I know a few married and engaged friends that met this way) just use caution because they are not screened.

well...instead of playing the 'dating game' then what you can do is try focusing on friendships. what i tend to do is to let everyone know (if they ask me) that i am not interested in relationships but only friendships. see...if one is looking for a partner then they will put their best foot forward and cover up all the flaws and little things that can drive you to drink and divorce. but being just friends will allow you to see parts and pieces of your friend(s) that you would not see if you were dating them. then you let the friendship grow into a deeper relationship and let the chips fall where they may. personally...i refuse to play into the dating game because love has turned for profit now a days and the real meaning of love has completely changed due to money. so...go against the grain. and you may find what you are looking for. also...most people jump from the 'meeting' phase straight into the 'marrage' phase without letting the 'getting to know you phase' happen. so don't be in a rush to get there. the 'getting to know you' phase is most important cause it usually is the phase that makes or breaks the relationship and let's you see who the person really is. most 'getting to know you' phases happen after the wedding. so just take your time. good for you for not getting caught up in this dating game. unfortuantly it is a game to some people.

Even if you don't want to meet someone through the internet, you could at least fill out eharmony thingy because it tells you what sort of qualities you'd best be matched with.
Any relationship takes effort though. You shouldn't set yourself on a time limit because you should date her for AT LEAST year. Have your friends set you up on blind dates, and don't be afraid to take a risk and ask a girl out.

You need to meet people. It's that simple. Join some community groups that interest you...theatre, dance, literature, photography...whatever floats your boat and find people with the same interests. Ask your friends to set you up with nice people. Quite frankly, you aren't going to meet Ms. or Mr. Wonderful at a bar...especially at your age. You have to be more creative.

Umm...maybe you should just wait a little bit. I mean are you just so anxous to settle down and get married? I mean you just went through a 15yr. marriage. Maybe you should take it slow.
