    Does anyone have any pointer on catching a “good one”?

    I’m 30 yrs old and I think it’s sort of sad that I haven’t dated in over 13 yrs. Indeed I was married for 8 out of those 13 but still ugh. But to be honest in my city Miami, these men are something else. Shallow and unfaithful doesn’t even start to describe them. Nevertheless, I still have hope :-)

    It’s a nice place for black white sing’les, to interact with each other…no bounds or extremes in front of true love.

    Having been widowed after a long marriage, and 4 years later remarried, I’d say don’t set a timeline.  Give yourself an opportunity to meet different men and make a decision after that.  When my first husband passed away, I thought my life was over.  Turned out, nothing could have been further from the truth.  What I did find out was that there were a lot of damaged men my age out there whose wives had thrown them out and they were bitter.  Best to let them wallow in their own misery, because they weren’t looking for a partner, but someone to suffer for their perceived injustices.  They were hopelessly damaged, angry and unworthy of my time.

    Another few men I encountered were those who wanted a widow with a home and an income to take them in and care for them. They brought NOTHING to the table, but wanted half of YOUR table. They need to go back home to Mamma.

    Lastly, there were men who were charming, erudite, financially stable on their own and wanting the companionship of a lively, active and fit woman.  Most of them weren’t interested in remarriage,.  I found a good one who was.  It has grown into a very happy, peaceful and rewarding partnership. 

    Bottom line: Hold out, ladies–they are out there, but hard to find.  Keep looking.
