[quote=Anonymous]OP here... wow, this thread goes WAY back in time.  At the time, I was separated and going through a divorce but not dating yet.  Was really nervous that I'd pick another loser or go the opposite of my ex as an extreme.

I made a list of basics I was looking for (many gathered here, some of my own) that weren't the typical qualities guys would expect to hear (good looking, wealthy, tall, etc).  Things like kind to everyone, patient, generous with his time (ie, he coaches, or volunteers somewhere), intelligent, funny, not afraid of commitment, and attractive *to me*.

I found a good guy whom I dated for a few months but it didn't click, but I was proud of my ability to identify and date a good guy again.  Then I wasn't expecting it, but I met a GREAT guy who is beyond what I ever dreamed possible, and even has some of those qualities I wasn't focused on (but are nice to have).  The best part was I had that feeling in my gut right away, and then over time, his actions confirmed my hunch was correct.

To the PP who said women over 35 have to lower their standards or be content as forever single, you could not be more wrong.   I am SO glad I didn't consider for a minute lowering my standards after my divorce.  If anything, I raised them.  And I got a real gem whom I adore and love in the process.  There is hope![/quote]
