Hey...It's 8:30pm on a Friday night, and I'm trying to get myself to get out of the door, and I won't. It's not like I have female friends who are fancy-foot & free like me who will enjoy a night out in search of "the one"... UH!!! I think I'll go watch a gay male review or something... HELP!!!  .gloria ------------------

ugh!!! I'd love to join you. I am stuck here, even though it is my day off. Hubby's not feelingf 100%, wants to watch 'the game', son's at his daddie-o's for the weekend, and daughter is happily dancing around, and will be happy in her dad's company. I have a destination too, only problem? Too far away. Too cold to bus it, No driving, as buddies are drinking, too far to take a cab. I keep hoping the party fairy will sweep me away to a fabulous night... to no avail.
Wherever you go, go with confidence, fun and expectations of the best. ENJOY!!!!Btw, wanna get married? Go somewhere that ISN'T a gay review... you may actually meet, oh, I don't know, a hetrosexual male interested in a woman!!!IP: Logged |

Hi Astro Junkie,I don't know what there is to do out in Orlando, because I've never been there, but I hope you do have a great time whatever you decide to do! I am in staying in and going to bed early  I am half way finished reading a book from earlier this evening. Tomorrow night I am going to the Symphony alone  What do you think about attending lectures? You seem like the type that would enjoy those kinds of events. The ones with interesting speakers. People chit chat and socialize afterwards. Enjoy! Aphrodite ------------------

I've taken lots of different classes, from metaphysical groups to university courses... what kind of lectures?Last time I was in S.F. was about 3 years ago, I have family in Mill Valley, then flew to Santa Barbara, then drove to Ojai for a week, then drove down the coast through Malibu to Santa Monica for a couple of days, then drove to L.A. and flew out. When I came to Central Florida from South Florida, well, it's been a culture shock. It's a very transient area and the cultural scene never really catches root. It's hard to explain. I was on an arts' district board here. There's not many single men in my age group. I just took some personality tests and it says I'm similar to only 9% of the women out there, just to show you how the odds keep getting worse AND >>> only 2-10% of men are looking exactly for my type.  It's going to take nothing less than a miracle... IP: Logged |

What about younger men? It works no matter what they say. I wish I could go out sometimes at night, it's -30 here last week, the windchill burns your face off. I found Florida to be dead where men are concerned, too stuck up, not many are into being the concerned respectful friend. And they are all very old for me. There isn't anything to do for them, and there are not many sports. Men love sports. You need to go to sporting events.Find a man who like sports and go to all the events, no matter how boring. You will start to like them, at least some, but there is no man out there that doesn't like sports. Hockey, football, and playoffs, as a woman it's easy to avoid it but you have to get into them. I am sure there are hundreds of men looking for a woman to take to these things. Just ask around. Do you like any sports? Natasha

Example I think hockey playing is kind of hot, but there is no hockey except up North, so you are not going to meet a hockey buff.
That's why I couldn't live down South.Come up here, to New England sometime, and I will show you around, it's hard not to find single men especially in winter because everyone is snow bound and they tend to be more gentlemanly, and helpful in the snow. If you stay on the Coast they are younger than in the mountains, I sound like a man locator. I'm in Maine right now, visit Boston! Natasha IP: Logged |

Gloria, have you tried any of those match-making services, or responding to personal ads in the paper? How would you feel about dating another Libra? I once read that the signs most likely to use those services are Libra...followed by Capricorn if you can believe that(?). Anyway, many men in your age group ARE divorcees, that's just a fact. But they're not necessarily basket cases or financially messed up losers. I know a couple of divorced men (women too) who are perfectly lovely, well adjusted people, who've been out of the dating scene so long they feel awkward as teenagers in that arena, so they tend to lay low and wait for freinds to introduce them to people. Everyone deserves a mate, if they're willing to follow the give-and-take rules. Even divorcees. Many people do much better in marriage the second time around. So don't discount them as a cross section of eligable men. And look into a dating service...what have you got to lose? My Saggie girlfriend met a wonderful Gemini man (single dad with 2 young daughters) through a tele-phone mailbox dating service. They simply adore each other. It's sweet. She needed it because she spent 10 years with a nasty man who did some damage to her self esteem. She's a new woman now!IP: Logged |

It's 8:30 on a Saturday night and I'm not out the door...
As for younger men, I've never liked OLDER men, so most of my "friends" have been younger, and I've always enjoyed being around people who are a little younger than me. So yeah... and it's not like I'm making it a point to be around younger guys, it just naturally happens that way. They dig me or something. Plus like I said, I don't look or act my age.
Esthenri - now you make me want to go up there! I responded to you in other thread regarding that. As for sports, there is hardly any sport I won't try or that I already don't enjoy. I like playing rather than watching. Raquetball, volleyball, basketball, snow skiing, snorkling, jet ski, sailing, hiking, camping, and more... just not a great ice or inline skater cuz of my dainty ankles... As for matchmaking services, I've tried the ones on the Internet on and off. I've met a couple of guys that way, but most seem to be quite flawed in this area. Or they are looking for a quick easy bone. Like I responded to Esthenri in another thread, I could try chatting with a guy up in the northeast. The ratio of men to women is horrible here, except in Ft. Lauderdale which is supposed to be like one of the highest men #'s. But I've lived there already, and I ain't going any more south than I am. I'd like to move, very much so... just want to be in simple surroundings and close or on the coast... I'm a mermaid.  .gloria ------------------

The weekend has passed, and I never got out the door...The most fun and excitement I had was in my dreams, which are usually better than the real thing, except I wake up alone... I'M GOING TO GO INSANE!!!! Sun Scorp - you find them around the Internet... (hope you didn't forget about me under the true to your signs tests and for the relationship thing... haven't seen a response back - but I'm as blind as a bat...) .gloria ------------------
