Though I haven't followed your thread much lately, this caught my eye.

My thoughts (and my own plan):

1)Screw the profile sites. The ones I looked at seemed pathetic at best.

2)Put the word out to everyone you know that you are looking for some like-minded, adult, woman company, conversation, companionship. Personal intros are the best, the least intimidating and least awkward for both of you. The intermediary has already given the meeting their imprimatur, has told each about the other (both of whom know and trust their mutual friend, knowing he/she has their best interests at heart), which jump starts the process and makes initial contact less intimidating.

3)Put it out of your mind, go live your life and see who shows up.

But then I'll bet you already know all this.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
