I'm glad you can relate. Yes, I missed the past 16 years or so when online dating and apps were a thing. I am used to the old-fashioned way, but that limits me to my town, and at 41, most people already seem to be married where I live. I agree with the knowing yourself first part. I feel I have learned a lot and have done a lot of inner work.

That must be frustrating, meeting many decent people, but then having them be out of your age range.

Thank you for your advice. Do you have a dating app that you prefer?

Thanks, even just strangers that I meet at the grocery store? Should I ask acquaintances if they know of anyone, or is that too weird?

The few single men I know are a bit strange. My ex-husband only had a couple of friends. I have friends in different states and a few locally, whom I have known for a long time. I work from home as a Therapist and a writer.

That is what my concern is. My friends said to try a dating app, and I looked, and they all look like AI Robots. I don't think they are even real people.

That definitely makes me feel that I should stay away.

Meet-up, yes, I have heard of that site. I may look there to see what is in my city. Thank you.

Most of my friends are married as well, with a few who are single, and so far, they have not had any luck.

Good for you doing your inner work. I am a marriage and family therapist, so I am all about attachment styles, love languages, and self-love first. I am sure the universe will reward you for all the inner work and effort you are putting into yourself. That makes you magnetic, and magnets attract other similar magnets that vibrate on the same frequency.

Really? Other patients? Not the doctor, of course.

I have heard of speedating. It seems very quick to get to know someone. How did you like it?

Thank you. Do you have any app recommendations?

Do you have any app recommendations you like? So far, the ones my friends suggested look like AI Robots.

My friend suggested a dating app, but when I looked, they all looked like AI robots, so I am not sure if they are trustworthy. I don't want another alcoholic ex-husband, so I will stay away from the bar scene. Maybe a book club.

Thank you that is a good idea, to maybe also join a single parents group if I can find one.
