Somebody throw me a bone!

Get off the computer. Take a shower and get out of the house.

Women are nothing but trouble.

It is no consolation to hear that the right lady will arrive in due time. But she will.

I am flagging Sinkspur to this (he might be a bit surprised!) because I remember a post of his where he said that his partner entered his life at a time when he certainly wasn't looking for her. (He thought he was going to be a priest.)

A practical suggestion. Have you thought of - socialising more with families. Very often, people link up with a friend or relative met through a family group.

If you know people who are nice and of good judgement, ask them to introduce you to unattached young ladies. Not to be partnered up - but just to meet them. You might click with one of these, or with a friend whom you meet through her.

www.harmony.com I believe is what I heard on the radio. My oldest is 30 and still no DIL. I'm thinking about signing him up (just joking-kind of) :')

Gotta say it's hard to relate to guys who find themselves in similar funks ... I've been with my high school sweetheart since 1971.

How about volunteering to be a campaign worker, even if just part time. You just might meet a compatible, like-minded gal.

Gee, all this time I thought you were 55 years old, and I've had a secret crush on you. Seriously! So at least know you have the maturity and intelligence to turn this 40 something FReeper's head.

OK, that said, my son is your age, and he says the same thing about finding girls his age to date. I keep telling him the right one is out there for him. Same goes for you, kiddo. And Happy Birthday!!!!!
