Well, you have to play to win.

If I had listened to anyone who told me that being divorced at 30 something with 2 kids meant that a good-looking, financially stable, and emotionally healthy man would never look at me, I would be both stupid and alone. I'm neither.

I listened to my gut which was to never date anyone that I wouldn't want my own daughter to bring home. I turned down probably close to 99% of men who approached me. I carefully vetted the ones that I didn't turn down. It was actually easier dating as a mom of two because I didn't feel a biological clock ticking. I didn't rush into anything I wasn't ready for sexually or emotionally. I could tell by the end of the first date if there was any connection worthwhile cultivating. No shared values meant no second date regardless of physical attraction. Nights when I didnt have my kids or a date, I poured that time and energy into passions that made me more fit physically, financially, and emotionally. When I met my DH, he was someone that I instantly loved being around. He's hot so there was that, but he also was and is the guy everyone wants to be friends with. He's been best man at something like 15 weddings.
