For me personally, I had pretty much given up on finding the *one* single person that will be my soulmate forever and a day. When I was young and stupid <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif"> I used to believe there was that 1 magical person on this planet, and my mission in life was to find that one person who can make me happy. Well, after 3 marriages and divorces later, and many, many, many girlfriends later over the years, I can pretty much say that I no longer believe there is only 1 person on this planet that can make me happy. I have no problem meeting women my entire adult life, I meet lots of women all the time because I'm outgoing and put myself out there, and I live in a city with lots of choices. My problem is that I make p!ss poor decisions for my selection process, and I've noticed I tend to fall for the damsel-in-distress types. My bad. Stupid, really. So the bottom line for me is that women come, women go in my life. I'm grateful for all the women in my past. I will be grateful for all the women who I've yet to meet in the future <img class="emoticon bbc_img" src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif">. I agree with everyone else's input that you need put yourself out there and try different venues. No one single venue will provide the results desired. In addition to internet searches, one must also be physically out there in the midst of people. There's nothing like face to face interaction at a group event so people can have an immediate interaction with you. It's too easy to hide behind a computer screen and sending out a greeting that nobody will notice.
