[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 584729, member: 1550"] Hi again. Well, she is going to try meetups, which sound good. The only problem is she won't go alone and her friends are usually not as anxious to go as she is. She does have MANY interests. She loves to run and stay fit a nd ANY outdoor activity...you name it, she likes it. She is think;ing of joining a softball team. But it is true that her life seems to be stuck on "find that man." Trust me, I've told her that most aren't worth it, but she is determined to spend part of her life with somebody she really loves who loves her back since s he never had that experience. Janet, I'm sure not everyone at bars is drunk. I never drink, no matter where I am, even bars. But from the stories she has told me, when she meets a man at a bar, he is usually drunk and she is at least tipsy. She is not an alcoholic, but she will not go to a bar without having at least a drink to get her feeling "happy." Her friends main places to hang out is bars. I hope the meetups work for her. She, for some reason, won't go to church social groups. I'm not sure why. She is a pretty devout Catholic and I'm sure they do have social groups. Right???? Also, she is ok if the man isn't Catholic. I think the older you are, the harder it is. But it was no picnic at thirty-seven either. Although we all looked better back then...lol...and I didn't have trouble finding dates (I used the newspaper and personal ads, which worked great for me), you still had his baggage, your own baggage, the kids, the ex, etc. I'm very lucky my current husband wrote to me. Something about his letter was different and touching and here we are. I think online dating, which is the rage now, is an ok resource, but she is afraid to be on it because her "boyfriend" who will never ever commit to her or introduce her to his family but says he loves her may see her on a website, get jealous, and break up with her.
