[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try online dating -- I think you'll be fine if you are not looking for husband #2.  There are plenty of great guys out there that behave like gentleman and are smart and funny.  They won't necessarily be as well educated or as successful as you.  I also dumped a well-educated, successful man that was really an ass.  Although I haven't met anyone that I could see marrying, I am meeting plenty of great guys and having fun.  My kids are preteens and teens, so that makes it a little easier.  [/quote]

OP here. I don't want to put my picture up on an online dating website. I feel like no one is interested in me online since I have no picture. At the same time, I am only looking at profiles with pictures with no luck. I also am not the type to ask guys out on dates. It is like a circular reference. [/quote]

Maybe you're not ready. Not posting a pic doesn't make any sense and you know it. Men are visual (you know this too). You don't have any hobbies outside of your kids and you're not ready to pursue any new ones. Sounds like a lot of excuses.[/quote]

I'm not sure if you have children but they take up a lot of time. I have a very long list of activities I used to do before I had children. I can pretend like I still do them but that would not be entirely true. I am trained in classical music on piano, violin and flute. I enjoy concerts and theater. These days I watch movies on Netflix and mostly watch and listen to the news. I am a political junkie and work in business so I need to keep up with the market. I love water - tubing, jet skiing, parasailing, speedboats, sailboats, etc. Also was getting into snowboarding before I had kids. My favorite pastime is travel. I have been to ~40 different countries so far and have so many other places I would like to visit. I appreciate both culture and architecture.

I don't know if exercise is counted as a hobby but I do yoga, pilates, kickboxing and dance fitness.

I can paint myself well if I wanted but I would not want a guy who liked me because of my previous jet setting life. My current life is the kids, dinners out, maybe an occasional movie.

I probably wouldn't want to date me if I were a single guy. I am not insecure. I'm just old enough to know not to try being something I am not.

I would like an attractive divorced dad who can have fun, have casual sex but almost play soccer team acquaintances when the kids are around. I am not looking to become a stepmother nor do I want another dad for my kids. However, my kids are sweet and I wouldn't want someone who would hate when the kids were around.[/quote]
