I read this and i think that your in the most powerful position. You have accomplished yourself in the world you have obtained a career, earnings, confidence , house and a sence of self i think you have done it the right way you see so many girls and adult women who arnt as stable as you. Some of these girls\women (without steriotyping) are seaching for a man for confidence in themselfs but not you. YOU want this as something extra to enhance your life so thats real cool.
The good new is just put yourself out there i know you have said that you have "been there done that" but you have to go to a environment where the people that you are seaching for hang out and also check youself how do you want to be percieved and how are you being percieved.So there it is........................................................one thing more i find myself in a similar situation not as independant as you with the house thing but i still understand your predicement ITS HARD.
Cool well i hope this makes sence i am writing this at a very late hour. catch ya
