[b][/b]Hi RBurger, OMG!!It's been a long time that you did not have your date. How did you get to manage that one? Anyway, before I go through, I would like to welcome you here in mylot. Is this your first day in the site.I hope you enjoy it!!Going back,I'm still very young right now. I am just 23 years old. I am not dating for at least 6 months now since I already have my girlfriend, but not dating for 20 years, that's crazy!!!How do you make yourself busy?Are you working?Did you not have a girlfriend for the past 20 years? It is really hard to become a single for a long time. Since you already have a business and you are already stable, why not look for a partner that will be with you for the rest of your life. Do not waste your time. Can't you find any girls that you like there in your areas?You might find it here in mylot. Goodluck, again , welcome here and happy mylotting!!

RBurger, you really haven't dated in 20 years???? What was the thing that made you realise that you're 46 and lonely? (I'm 33 and single,and woman, by the way :-)) First of all, you have to know exactly what it is you want in your date and possible spouse: education, style, physique, interests, etc..and then hang out in places where you can find these women (I'm hoping that's your interest)

Hello, well I was faced with dating again after my divorce. It took me 19 months to even think of dating someone else again.Considering I am a female it wasn't difficult to do after I got into it again.You just need to find some place where you can find eligible females or maybe friends to set you up on a date.Just get out there again. it will come back to you.

Well, RBurger, I think it's great that you want to start dating again! I wish you the very best!! To get started, you could explain to a female friend what you're wanting to do, someone who you know would not get the wrong idea in thinking you want to date her..not that that would be a bad thing..but you're just asking her for help. You could go out to dinner together as friends, each pay your own way, and have a "pretend" date. You pick her up at her home, open the car door for her..a lot of women like that, I know I certainly do..open the doors to the restaurant, seat her, and enjoy nice conversation before taking her home. In a real date, you'd walk her to the door too. That may help you get started. To meet women, it can happen anywhere, but it's good to go where it could be more possible. There is church, bars if that's your thing, clubs, dance lessons, and there's a website for meeting people for all kinds of reasons, not a dating site, it's called Meetup(dot)com and they have chapters in many cities all over. You can also meet someone through online dating sties. My husband and I met through Match(dot)com and he is a sweetheart and we are very happy. We're so glad we took a chance on online dating..even though we both met some doozies along the way too, but that's another story..LOL!! I hope you find a nice lady who will appreciate you and you her. Treat her with kindness and respect and wonderful things could happen.
