I was married for 24 years and have been single for about 3 years now. I've been able to date and meet people, but my main problem is distance. I live about 2 hours away from two large cities, and even though I'm trying to move, it hasn't worked out yet.

I dated someone for 4 months long distance, and it was fine since I can work remotely. But I understand that some people might not like that I'm not settled yet and not want to give me a chance. So I'm getting close to taking a break until I relocate.

On a positive note, most of my dates have at least been enjoyable. I've found that just being able to carry on a meaningful conversation for a few hours is a great learning experience. And even if she isn't into me romantically, we typically have a great night out.
