Im 46 years old and have had the worst luck with love, I dont know what I am doing wrong. I will find a guy I think is great we will date then after a few months boom he is gone. I feel that there is no man out there for me so I have faced the fact that I am destined to spend my life alone, and that saddens me, all my friends have great husbands even the B****** who treat their hubbys like crap. I dont know anyone have any suggestions?

There are many guys out there...sure, a lot of them are jerks, but it's not a reason to give up completely!! The first thing to do is get a positive attitude :) I know, easier to say than do, lol. The next thing to do is make a list of everything you want in a patrner. Many people have had some strange luck with this, myself included...but you just write things you want in a guy - honesty, funny, can fix a car, etc. etc. It's up to you how long you make it. Eventually you meet a guy who has all or most of the things...don't ask me how it works! My hubby is everything that was on my list! Another thing to do is consider how you are meeting guys. Some places are better than others. You can try online dating sites, or you can try to network through friends or start a new hobby. I have some things on my website that might be able to help you: Reviews & Details of Free & free to try dating site: http://www.itmightbelove.com/online-dating-resources/ Networking to Meet people: http://www.itmightbelove.com/2008/04/12/forget-about-the-bar-scene/ Hope I don't seem to pushy - I just hate to see someone give up on love.

There are a lot of things that can contribute to not being able to find someone. My own mother is about your age and has been through three husbands and countless boyfriends. How do you act around your prospective beau? Are you shy, or outlandish, or are you natural? Are you trying to go straight into the romance, or do you consider having friendship first and then moving towards love? Wanting to rush into commitment after only a month or two is also a pretty bad idea, because there's not really any time to get to know eachother before really getting a good idea of whether the other person is someone you want to spend your life with. It's my opinion that the important thing is to *be yourself*, don't try to act a certain way just because you think it's what your love interest wants. If you act natural, and just enjoy spending time with the other person and being yourself, then either the other person will accept you for who you are, or they won't. And if they don't, then you wouldn't have been happy with them anyway because you'd have to keep up false pretenses all the time. I know that you're probably looking at me and going, "You're almost half my age, what do you know about these things?" And granted I don't have too much experience in the whole dating game, but I've been in the relationship I'm in now for almost seven years now, and I'd have to say that the most important thing, what keeps us glued together, is that we're both absolutely 100% honest about ourselves with eachother. No pretending, no charade of acting like we're one thing when we're not. Sure there are rocky times, but we stay together because... well, our openness has made us more respectful and appreciative of what we have in eachother. So yeah, take some time to think about who you are, what you're looking for, and what kind of compromises you're comfortable with making. I hope that helps!
