[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the constructive feedback folks. Specifically appreciate the story from the woman who met her husband at the restaurant. I'm not a big fan of cold approaching IRL but I guess that's what we've come to at this point in time. A good amount of comments seem like bait to try to get me to lash out. That being said, still appreciate folks being willing to reply here.

For the person suggesting I move to LA or Philly or Chitown, those are all great cities in their own right. I would probably be most likely to do Chicago or, even though it wasn't listed here, Richmond but trying to move my whole practice in that manner would likely prove difficult. Don't see moving as a first or second choice, but I will keep it in my back pocket.

Jdate suggestions: strangely enough, I had probably the second most success with Jewish women if my memory serves correct. By success, I mean a few months of dating/seeing each other.

I've seen one suggestion already to switch out BMX for road biking and if I was riding bikes purely for exercise then that would be a possibility, but the bunny hopping and the 360s down/up stuff are the fun parts so I'm going to keep at it. Completely understand that folks may find it "immature" and it may reduce my prospects but that's a ding I'm willing to take. I'm sure that there has to be someone out there for me similar to my friends that also ride and their spouses 100% support them in their hobby, even with kids.

As far as the actual dates themselves, I'm not flashy on them or anything. Hard to be flashy in a Prius in any case. Just a typical grabbing a drink or coffee for the first date or going for a walk and getting some ice cream if the weather is nice. If they progress then we'll do dinner or go check out some museums or go to an outdoor interactive light show or a variety of things along those lines. Art gallery openings are another good one that I enjoy and sometimes I'm fortunate enough to pick up some new art that I like.

My brothers relationships, or lack thereof: Well I'm not responsible for them deciding to not wrap it up, but thats the situation. Kind of strange in my opinion with our parents being together for so long that they decided to not mirror them in that regard but what are you going to do?

Yes, I know 5-6 is short for a guy. I'm not going to get a heightBBL so I don't see anything changing in that regard other than losing a few inches in height when I'm in my 70s so hopefully I'll be with someone by then. Otherwise this will be even more difficult than it is.
