Once you've mourned, and healed sufficiently, tell your friends you're interested in dating again. They LOVE to fix people up. Also, start going out more. Go to places where men like to go...the ball parks, playing golf, etc. I enjoy going to hear music, especially this time of the year, and most towns have festivals, which are free, with great bands performing. Have a good time, and people will notice!

I would try the online dating sites. In your specific case, something like eharmony.com or truematch.com where you meet compatible people. I know it seems difficult but you are not the only one in the world in this situation.
Be sure to get to know someone a little online before you meet them. Make sure you are compatible talking/emailing, etc. Then try something safe and fun, such as meeting for coffee or playing golf, or some other mutual interest. But make sure first encounter is in a public place.
The real issue is MEETING people who are compatible. Once you find the people, which in this day and age is difficult, all the normal, usual rules apply.
Also check out clubs in your area that you might have a specific interest in. For example is their a ski club in your area, a tennis club/group, a golf singles group, etc. Plus let all your friends and associates know that you are interested in finally meeting someone knew. You would be surprised at how many people you can meet networking. Some friends may have someone in mind for you but because of demise of your husband, think it is too serious an area to broach with you. However, if you let them know that you are now interested or ready, they will introduce you to someone.
Good luck!

If you are a recent widow then I'd say take time to get to know yourself again. If it's been a while and you are looking to start dating again then there are a few options. Dating sites are a quick start. You can join a singles group at your church, they often do activities together. Find something that interests you and participate in events based on that. From there you can look for men that interest you.
Also keep in mind that a lot of men are shy and afraid of approaching women so don't hesitate to say Hi to a guy you want to get to know.

I don't know how this is going to sound, but I wonder if you should try an online dating site. People post their profiles and photos on there. In fact, I've been talking to a guy I met recently and it looks like we're probably going out about this Friday. We're both very introverted people, and if you don't get out much, it's hard to meet people otherwise. Give it a try!
