If Diane suddenly died, I would start looking for another woman within a few months. I know exactly the type of woman I like. I would start teaching at some of the homesteading type events, I get invited to, that are out of state, that I pass on now. When you're in charge and seen as the expert, it's very easy to get your choice of good women.
The last time I was single, I became a dance master in medieval dance. When you're teaching classes with many more women than men and leading balls, with several hundred people in attendance, it's hard not to find a decent woman. Back then, I could teach about 120 different dances from memory. It's easy because most dances, such as English Country, have common parts, that are in every dance, with other stuff sandwiched in between.
If you don't want to stay single, you need to figure out where the women you like are concentrated at, go there and make a name for yourself. Be confident. Women want to be approached and courted. There's no reason to be shy. If you're rejected, just move on to the next one. There's many more single woman that want a man at your age, than men wanting them. You can date considerably younger than yourself too.
If you like dancing and are enthusiastic about it, even if you're not good, women will like you. Maintaining eye contact with a woman, touching and holding her and leading a woman around a dance floor, will get many women interested in you. Women directly equate being a good and enthusiastic dancer, with being good in another very important, male/female activity.
Women like confidence in men. They want a man that leads them. They like a man who knows his own value. They like a man that will tell them no, that sets boundaries. It does not mean you should treat women poorly. It's very important that they can trust you make the best decisions for you both.
Dating is a lot of fun. It can be very exciting. I am happy in my relationship, but still miss the fun of dating at times.
Men in relationships live considerably longer than single men.
Keith Rich, old, heart condition.

I like being alone, I like it a lot. I have found though that when I spend extended periods at camp or even on out-of-state jobs I start missing my wife and family. We have online family chats and do video calls but it isn't the same as in-person contact. I wouldn't want to do it full time. My dad was and my oldest daughter is a world traveler. Neither had/has significant others in their lives and both preferred it that way. I guess Swamp Wolf has it right. All depends on how you handle loneliness.
Eh...wot?

I’m headed that way. Not to divorce but through my wife’s progressive illness. I know I’ll be single again. I cannot say I’ll never marry again but right now I would say it’s doubtful. Being a 24/7 caregiver takes a lot out of you and at this point I don’t know that I could find it in myself to invest time and energy into another woman. That part of me is spent at this point.
Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

1) Glad you finally made that decision. 2) After the divorce, focus on yourself. Don't worry about running out looking for a new relationship. 3) But someday one may find you when you're not even looking. 4) If so, make dang sure you find out her political beliefs on the first date!
The devil's greatest trick isn't making us think he doesn't exist. It's flattering us. So we don't see..... the devil is us.

Just for Heaven's sake dont get scammed. People love scamming desperate men. They must be able to smell them halfway around the world.
