BL42 - Dating advice -- Well, funny enough I had dinner with a bachelor friend of mine who had some.
He said he gets half his dates from the "apps" - for less shenanigans focus on bumble and hinge. He said the other half come from being out and about. We're in our 40's and he said after work happy hours are a great place to meet people. Low pressure, fun atmosphere. He said summer concerts, or big events like wine festivals are good. Also big philanthropic parties like the we have one at the Zoo. He said try to get out of your routine so you run into new people. Go to networking events, not to get dates, but to reconnect with people who will invite you places, which is where you might meet someone. No one gets a date on the couch.
I've been on some first dates - its a contact sport. I think you jump in, have fun, and just look to be curious and learn about people. Relax and don't stress. I actually really enjoy it - its always different and fun. ------------------------ In the last two months I've had two clients call me because they are getting divorced. I've also been on dates with divorced women who now have split families. I can't say enough how much I hate divorce. I see it as a plague of sorts and I really don't understand it - but c'est la vie, not my call to make.
I'm proud of all the people here that fight for marriage. I hope they are able to grow as individuals and thereby grow in their marriages.
