[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least you managed five dates.  I have been alone for eighteen months now, and despite being a good looking (if not quite beautiful) woman in my late 40s, I have yet to be asked out on a single date by any man.  It is a profoundly lonely experience.

I will offer that I have not made any effort to date since my divorce, as my family's and my well being are my priority.  Also, I am not online and am referring only to those men that I either already know, meet, or come across in person in real life.   And since I do not often socialize in bars, parties, or restaurants, that is admittedly a limited group.  But still, you would have thought one of them might ask me out since they either know of my circumstances or can clearly see that I do not wear a wedding band.  Of course, some posters will suggest that I do the asking, but if a man is not even attracted enough to ask me out on a date, what is the point?[/quote]

You have no one but yourself to blame for the situation you've found yourself in.  [/quote]

What am I supposed to do?  Openly flirt with, or insinuate myself upon, men who will be up for some 'action' (which, yes, great sex would be nice with the right man) but who otherwise are not particularly or really interested in me.  It is clear and obvious that I am single (no wedding band, I openly discuss my situation), I am friendly, approachable, and social, always talking to everyone I come across and going out with friends when asked to join them, and I make a real effort to look good.  [b]But what more should I be doing? [/b]I would appreciate your advice.  [/quote]

You should be going online. I'll go ahead and believe you are attractive as you claim, in which case you will have almost unlimited options and be in control.
