Personal matchmakers do still exist. I knew a guy in my widow support group that hired one once. He was in a wheelchair and had difficulty finding someone. The matchmaker found a lady also in a wheelchair, and they are now dating. Yeah, OK, but where am I gonna get a wheelchair? Seriously -- I have heard of the matchmaker thing, but never tried it with a professional -- it was always a friend fixing me up with a neighbor or a cousin or a co-worker or something. I guess I need to do some research.... |

Do you have a website? Get yourself a website if you don't have one, and use it to help you look for her. Kinda like your profile, but better. Even put up a contact form so she could e-mail you. It wouldn't cost you anything and it's easy. I have a friend who has offered to set up a website for me (it would be good for posting info about the books and stuff, anyway) but she's just been swamped at work lately and hasn't had the time. I personally like the idea of having a website, but other than writing stuff for it, I wouldn't know how to do much. |

There is the Millionaire Matchmaker, but she charges $25,000 to join her club and you "have" to be a millionaire to join (for her to find you a date), so that leaves us out.  Will have to think on this for a bit. Tell you what -- when I sign the movie deal for "Moving Day," we'll both go see her! |

Stop the presses!
 I actually have an idea!  Enroll in a college coarse, something that your interested in. You might just find her there. If you don't- well you still get to enjoy the coarse you take. |

My team's webmaster is pretty busy right now, but if you want, when he gets back to normal, I can talk to him about setting you up with a site Lex. If you are interested, I can show you a couple of samples of his work. Just let me know. |

Teddy! Hey, I have actually done that before.... When I was in Illinois.... Where I am now, there just isn't anything I can get to for that. |

Have you tried hanging around bookstores? Dan, other than writing, all I DO is hang around bookstores! Maybe that's the problem.... |

haha! ok, back to the drawing board! edit - Do you get talking to any women in them? Not really -- most of the book stores around here aren't exactly packed with people even at the best of times -- and I've never been the kind to initiate a conversation with a stranger, anyway. I'm slightly more intoverted than Howard Hughes. |

Im not the kind to do that either, i completely understand.
Maybe that is something you could work on though? In theory, all you gotta do is say hello. |

It's strange because they will come up to me and start a conversation at Borders, Barnes & Noble, etc. -- this also happens sometimes at places like Wal-Mart or the mall. Just not the right people, though. This is one reason I think I'm really going to have to work through an intermediary. |

I just have some basic skills, but I can atleast help you get started. |

Two aspiring novelists went to a Wallmart: one is a male and the other is a female. Lord knows what they were up to in there, wouldn't be surprised to see them discussing books of their likings.
Not gonna happen unless you think the chances are better if you will be struck by lightning. |

Here's what I think. Only you can stop someone from continuing to step on your heart-so be done with it and mean it!
You say that "There HAVE been exceptions -- this site, a few relationships....but I'm not the most focused guy in the world." I don't believe that you aren't the most focused guy in the world. You have to be focused to write novels...enough said. I would say get out and interact without constantly thinking about your requirements. That could prove difficult if you say you're a hermit. Perhaps there are sites for writers to interact. Not a dating site, but someone that might be on the same intellectual level as you. Reading her writing might give you an indication if you could be compatible. I think that you would require someone to engage your mind first. Open your mind that there are others just as awesome as the past relationship you keep going back to. You can obviously achieve the goals you set for yourself. This is just another one that I am sure you will conquer one day. |

Teddy! Hey, I have actually done that before.... When I was in Illinois.... Where I am now, there just isn't anything I can get to for that. Guess what? You're already on your way,,, You didn't correct her spelling of "course". The secret is tolerence, compassion and understanding,,, You could run across one of the most beautiful creatures to compliment your life and shoo her away by deriding her for spelling, improper punctuation or anything else,,, Relax and understand where she comes from, what her past is and what made her who she is, not WHAT she is,,, |

if it means that the kind of person I'm looking for no longer exists. I'm now soliciting ideas on how I should attempt to meet someone without using dating sites. I have very often wondered the same thing myself. Myself, I don't see it as being too picky...Just see it as..I have gotten older and more serious, aware of what I want and DESERVE!! tired of the childish games we play in our youth, time to grow up. But if you find the answer..where to meet a good woman.. PLEASE let us all know!! due to past experiences online I have trouble trusting what people say in profiles and emails and phone calls. I have to be able to look into their eyes when I talk to them. The eyes say so much!! I have met 3 from online..2 lied completely...pictures were like 10+ years old, when they were younger and in much better shape and 50 pounds lighter. one was 15 years older then she claimed to be. The 3rd was pretty honest, attractive and nice enough but things just didn't click but I think we had a decent afternoon anyway. So where is a good place to meet Women in person??  Myself don't drink, don/t like being around drunks. and want a woman that don't drink. That alone seems to kill any chance of meeting "THE ONE" because most people don't want to grow up and live in reality.  |

Sorry.. worded badly.. intended for those that drink to get wasted. and many that do drink a little will drink much more when angry or times get rough. I just like deling with life straight. |

 DON’T DO IT!!! OK, did you fall out of bed, slip in the shower, or have some other home catastrophe involving head trauma occur to make you suddenly want what you’ve been claiming to not want? What happened to change your mind? You’ve been so dead-set on not getting involved and mooning over someone from your past and out of the blue you’ve had a change of heart? What happened to the “not going to be a goat” guy? I’m curious as to what has happened to make this happen. My advice is to think it over several times. See if you can figure out if you really want this or if it’s just because you’re feeling lonely and it will pass. If it’s just being lonely and you know you don’t really want the whole relationship thing, that’s easily solved by a summer fling. If you’re serious about the long-term stuff, then I’d suggest a matchmaker as well. Let them do the legwork. Seriously, I can’t help but feel this is a joke of some kind. Everything I’ve read that others or yourself has written leads to this being a joke. If not, then best of luck to you and we’ll miss your membership in the ‘Forever Happily Single Society’.  |
