I don't want to attract the same type of men this time, so I'm going a different direction. I didn't know a good guy would be almost impossible to find. I'm dodging mama's boys and mentally ill men! The pickings are slim, due to getting out and meeting people, and the stream of men who come my way. Sometimes its very hard to tell if I'm really that interested, or i just don't want to get hurt again. I find my self slowly leaving the dating scene, and becoming isolated in my safe zone lol On one hand I'm tired of being alone, on the other, I'm just plain scared. I'm getting the courage to start looking again, but he would have to be a knockout and sweep me off my feet to get my attention. I seriously turned off by the norm in men, who think of themselves before their significant other. I've been divorced for 8 years, its fine time mr. right walked my way!

Hang in there. Focus only on what you DO want. Don't think about the qualities you are trying to avoid. Better yet, make a list of what you want in a man and focus on it. Be very specific and you'll attract the guy for you. Good luck. flowerforyou

If Mr. Right read what you wrote, then he might walk in the opposite direction.

I think you are not being picky...just having basic expectations.

Just live your life. If something makes you happy...go with it.

It would seem if you aren't picky; then you would just be settling. I don't think settling would make you happy.

It is good that you are picky, I am divorced as well and no one wants to go through that again, so we are much more cautious with our future relationships. At least you are dating, just not found the right one for you yet, to keep on looking is the best course of action. Good Luck.

It's worth being picky. You want to be happy with who you are with.

Maybe you should start slower. Get a goldfish first. You could call him Mr. Bubbles. If he lets you down hell you can just flush him down the toilet. Hope this helps......smokin

I am impatient by nature. It's something I'm working on. But patience is a virtue for a reason. All good things come to those who wait.
