Quote From: smallsmartI was married at 20, divorced 3 kids later at 24 and didn't remarry until 39. My husband and I met online and are blissfully happy but I weeded through 15 years of losers before I found him.
The part of your post that struck me was that you said when your girlfriends marry, you bail because you just can't stand to watch it. Have you ever considered that by doing that you are further narrowing your scope? Think about it... Husbands have friends and coworkers; when they have kids there will be more friends and events and all kinds of opportunities to meet different people. Maybe the husband has a sister with a best friend that's perfect for you. It all comes down to six degrees of separation. If you sit in your house, you won't meet anyone. If you limit yourself to one method of meeting people, you miss out on meeting all kinds of other people.
Tell your friends to moderate the gooey details about their sickening bliss, but don't make your world smaller because it seems to be harder. If you expand your world, then the math says you have to expand the number of people you meet. When you find the right guy, you'll flirt. Women who are attracted to men just can't help it. And when it's the right guy, he'll see it for what it is. In the meantime, GET OUT THERE!! Call up your old girlfriends and catch up. Go to their kid's soccer game or dance recital. I can almost assure you there will be single dads there, too. You just never know until you go.
Good luck and take care. :)
I played match making for two older ladies (63 and 69) and I got both of them married within 3 months with MATCH.COM. Neither of them even knew what a keyboard was, until I taught them how to use the computer first.
I think Match.com is successful is because most people who get into the system are already interested in finding someone special. So, you have willing participants in these Internet sites.
