An Introduction

[AndrewP]

And don't get too discouraged. There is I feel a depth of single people out there who don't want to bother with online dating. In my small village I know of at least 4 bachelors of various ages. And a slightly larger number of single women.

I have a cat and it might sound silly but no man will come between the cat and I! (My relationship with my cat has lasted longer than my marriage and I'm very loyal <3)

I agree - I ended up having to give my cats up because of the last relationship - something I sincerely regret even though they have a good home with my son who technically is their owner / man-servant.

Then, there are those I chose not to meet. It can best be described as that old saying "The odds are good but the goods are odd." A seemingly endless supply of middle-aged, lives in his elderly mother's basement and works part-time guys that I don't want to waste my time on. Taking care of an elderly parent is noble but not the case here. These are man-childs, never married and looking for someone to take care of them after mommy is gone. Or, to mix it up a bit, the guy who was getting divorced from wife #4 and already looking for #5. No thanks.

That matches much of what I see as well but in the opposite direction. The ones who "need" to have a man in their lives or who are expecting to have few responsibilities but enjoy a life of travel and leisure.

Me - I'm thinking of just getting a new cat. If you've followed my drama you'll see why.
