[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very early 50s divorced mom of two teens.  I keep reading all these stories about not giving up, etc., or you become self-defeating, but I really don't think I am going to meet anyone.  For casual? Sure.  Someone wanting me to be his mistress?  Yes, I can find that, and have been asked that, but I won't do it.  Younger guys curious about having a relationship for a bit with an older woman until they decide it is time to start a family? Sure.  But somebody age appropriate who is actually looking for a girlfriend or other committed relationship? Nope.

I've tried all the dating sites, and there just doesn't seem to be anyone on there looking for anything real.  All my friends are either married or in committed relationships and don't know anyone.  One friend was going to introduce me to someone who was married to her best friend who passed away, but she was giving the guy time to grieve.  While she was being respectful, he took up with his dog walker!

Tons of friends, male and female, say it is 100% going to happen for me, that I'm such a catch, blah, blah, blah.  Well, where all all these "catchers"? I sure don't see them. Should I just give up?  I'm tired of wanting something that may never happen.  My ex had a girlfriend before the divorce was even final, but we've been divorced over two years and there is nothing on my horizon.  I've read that stat that most people get remarried within three years of the divorce.  I can't even find a serious date!  I'm allergic to cats, so please don't suggest I become a cat lady, but I also don't want to hold out hope for something that won't happen if that is actually the truth.[/quote]

OP - I'm in exactly the same boat, and could've written your post. Maybe we can start a club. I'm discouraged, but I refuse to accept that I'm headed for kaftans and cats. 
I won't give up if you don't :-)[/quote]
