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.

Don't forget to start carrying a couple of Jimmy's in your wallet again too.

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!

Im married and alone.

Good husbands are hard to find, I can see now why so many on here are single, lol.

All depends on how you handle loneliness.
