[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 40 year old divorced woman with two children.  For the past eight months I have been actively dating to try to find someone I have a connection with to spend time and hang out with.  I am not necessarily looking for a long term relationship but I certainly would not oppose it if I met someone I liked.  I have been on quite a few dates and am really struggling to find someone I 'like'.  I am attractive so initially I do have not have too much of a problem finding someone to go on a date with (online) however, I haven't felt any kind of connection with anyone.  I am dating a wide variety of people and don't think I am too selective but am finding myself frustrated because I would really like to meet someone.

Not sure what I am looking for exactly so maybe this is just a vent.  Anyone relate?  [/quote]

Any man or woman who is reasonably attractive and sociable can find a date but do you want quantity or quality?  Also, are you giving people, including yourself a chance?  I categorize first dates three ways:  1)  wow, 2) want to learn more about them - has potential, and 3)  no way.  #1 is very infrequent on anyone's life.  #2 you don't want to cut off.[/quote]

[b]Op here.  Definitely want quality - [b]I am not a serial dater.  I would prefer to date only one person instead many.  I feel I have given some of the guys a chance and have been on more than one date with a few of the guys to see if there was anything there.  I am fully aware that I myself would be coming into a new relationship as not an 'ideal' partner for many people:  divorced, kids.  In [/b]fact someone who initially contacted me didn't want to meet me in I guess my point is that [/quote][/b]

That got butchered:  Should have read:

Someone who initially contacted me did not want to meet me in the end because of my kids (didn't know why he bothered to contact me to begin with as he knew I had children).
