Dotsie,
Would rather see a gal meet a guy in church rather than in a bar; but, then again, I'd prefer to see her stay single and be her own boss!
Good luck, that is if you're serious about meeting somebody.
Ciao,
B. Rose

Well one of the worst guys I was ever introduced to was at church by people telling me what a great guy he was. I let my guard down further than normal and after some coffee dates allowed him to come to my home, BAD idea. Thats when he let his true colors come through. It doesn't matter where you meet these men, some belong under a rock and then there is as Smile says that ONE good one. Does anyone have the strength or time to shuffle through ALL the bad ones to hopefully get to the ONE good one out there. I will continue my coffee and dinner dates and use some as escorts when you need to show up with a man but just that, no searching for Mr. Right and simply being happy not being stuck with Mr. Wrong!

There's a time and a place for everything, and right now I am concentrating on securing a future for myself. I'm sure that there are many good men out there (heck - I have two sons of my own and I like to think that they have been raised to be kind and sensitive renaissance men!), but like Chatty and Bonnierose, I am happy doing my own thing these days and am not counting on meeting or even looking for Mr. Right. I'm sure it has something to do with my divorce not being final yet, the trauma of a deceit-laden marriage still fresh in my heart and on my children's faces, and in finding out that I really was married to a clinical sociopath. Kinda tends to sour one on relationships, y'know? Besides, my plate is full just trying to figure out how to make ends meet and avoid becoming a statistic on women and poverty.

P.S. I do not agree that there is only one Mr. Right that exists for each of us. IMHO, depending on the circumstances, I believe that there can be more than one appropriate match for each person...but that does not make him any easier to find...

foundhervoiceatlast,

I agree w/ you regarding "concentratong on securing a future for mysef." By doing your own thing and moving forward positively, your actions and beliefs will attract positive individuals. I also agree that there is more than one appropriate match -- you're definately on the right track!

Anne327,
The odds must be a lot better than one in three billion or else there wouldn't be the six billion. Somebody is definitely getting together somewhere.

I figure it's magnetic energy. Since the whole universe runs on it, men must be attracted to women through the magnetic energy of their chemical makeup. Everyone's chemical makeup is influenced by their location in the magnetic field of the universe.

Better living through chemistry.

Wheee!

Maybe divorce comes from chemistry also. Our chemistry changes with age, emotions, relationships, relocations, etc. And not only does magnetic force move oceans, it moves people.

Sometimes it moves them right out of your house!!

Our entire body runs on magnetic force. Every one of our cells is held together by the magnetic force of electrically charged chemicals.

Then there's our magnetic aura which extends about the length of our arms all around us. Each one is unique and changes with mood, location, etc. Strangely the aura is smaller on each coast.

Sounds like sci fi, but...

smile

The only part of this I understood, dah, is the space between a mans ears, LOL.

Anne327! That was hilarious! JJ

Anne327, something tells me some of us are meeting the same men, they must be criss crossing the country trying to catch us off guard.

chatty, what a hoot.
