Hi Rob,
I have been experiencing some bad luck with dating recently and
hoping that you could provide your viewpoint and give me some
advice (I'm particularly glad that you will be able to provide a
man's perspective to my dilemma).
I am in my early forties, average-looking, divorced with two
adult children
(20 and 22). I am happy in all areas of my life but would like
to find a man
for a potentially long-term relationship.
In the past two years, I have dated a number of men (more than
50) but with no success. Some of the men I have refused
(different interests, goals, etc.). A lot have turned me down
and I don't understand what the problem is?
I feel that I have good qualities to offer: I am dependable,
easygoing, not
demanding, intelligent, friendly and open. I am not trying to
find someone with lots of money, a good job or exceptional
looks. I only want to find a 'good' man to spend time with. I am
beginning to think that there is something terribly wrong with
me. Am I not attractive enough, not rich enough, not social
enough?? I am losing confidence in myself and feel that I might
not be able to find a partner. I have reached a point where I
truly don't want to continue dating any more.
I'd appreciate any advice you may have to offer.

Hi Confused,
Yes, you are right, you should give
up on dating.
At least for a while.
It's time to grow yourself by volunteering, taking a night or
weekend class about something you enjoy. Expand your horizons
now that the kids are old enough to care for themselves.
By getting out there without having "a man" as your goal I am
sure that he will come along. He'll be someone that is also
interested in volunteering, interested in expanding his
horizons, someone being able to share "time" with you, rather
than "dates".
Toronto have a lot of opportunities for you.
The time is now to take advantage of them.
Best wishes,
Rob.

Over the years I've had the opportunity to read many "self-help"
books that deal with a variety of situations that occur between men
and women. Please take a moment and visit these suggested websites, where applicable:
