Advice on meeting women...?

Question

I'm 34 and I've been divorced for almost 7 years. Since then I've had one very short relationship and I haven't even been on a date in over 3 years.

About 18 months ago I moved to a new town for work. I didn't know anyone here to start with. Unfortunately it's a smallish community and there is very little in the way of a public social scene and virtually no night life. Plus everyone knows everyone and it's hard for an outsider to make friends (I've heard this from others too). I know there are (presumably) single women my age because I see them at work, but I never see the outside of work.

I manage a movie theatre and all my employees are teenagers so it's not really a possibility to meet people through them - although I'm nearly the same age as some of their parents. I also don't think it's right to hit on customers.

I'm not really comfortable just approaching strangers. What can I do to develop some dating prospects?

Answer 1

Try using myspace or better yet, Yahoo personals. It will allow you to screen people and get to know them online before meeting them in person. I met a very nice woman there that I have been dating for about eight months now. I have had friends that have had success with it too. Just remember to be upfront and honest when you list your info on there. Good Luck.
