So I have 2 Dates today

:rock I generally cheer when I see a guy not get beat up by the sexual marketplace. I just hope that your new dates aren't "tons of fun" or otherwise the result of "hitting the wall".

The far away thing makes sense if you consider the hypergamous nature of women. Those women are looking for "beta bucks", hoping that you have money to spend. Willingness to travel signals that you have plenty of spare cash.

Ok, I was looking for some folks from whom not to get dating advice. Thanks for stepping up!

Seattle is one of the worst places for men, if dating is important, you should consider moving. A quick online search yielded the following:

You know, I think I'm doing ok right where I live. Thanks for your concern.
 
Isn’t Tinder the new “it” place to meet peeps?

Isn't Seattle a bit far for you to drive for a blind date? Surely there's some kind of dating scene in Miami.

It's 2 chicks and Lurch. Miami ain't got that.

So I joined a dating site called "Plenty of Fish" a month ago. It's been a strange experience. It's been 2 years since my divorce and I figured it was time to get back out there. For about a month I've been chatting back and forth with a few women. It's weird that women from really far away reach out because they've got to know I'm not going to drive to Canada or Cenrtal Oregon to meet them. Over the past month I've gotten the courage up to ask a couple of women out, but their response has been either, "No, we've got to chat more first", or, "Send me more pictures".

Up until last week I started thinking the female population was just married or attached women, bored and wanting to flirt. Anyway, last week two women have agreed to meet me today. I'm taking a nice lady to lunch, and tonight another lady wants just to hang out at her place - wants to cook dinner for us.

So things are looking up in the neverending soap opera that is my life.

I would never meet someone for the 1st time in private...they may be planning to make a skin suit out of you....
 
Many on dating sites are fake or married, so they will make excuses to never meet.

Oh, it was very nice. She's a very nice woman. Dinner was simple, but really good. Afterwards we watched "Hot Tub Time Machine". She's fun to hang out with, shares my twisted sense of humor.

She's also a really good kisser.

No, we had been chatting for weeks prior. We were comfortable that neither of us was an axe murderer prior to our meeting.

I did wonder why she had that deep pit dug in her basement and why she had that basket on a rope with bottle of lotion in it.

Yeah, I actually think there are some women like that on POF.

What's up with the gay bashing nonsense? Is that bigotry necessary to make your argument?

There was no gay bashing....I have a gay daughter that I talk about fondly here somewhat regularly, why ever would I gay bash?

I think your comprehension issue has more to do with you than it does with me.

The men who are not already with women are almost all Beta's, the ones who are not are either assholes or are not available because they are gay.

This does not even hint that there is anything wrong with being gay, that idea is all yours.

That's not gay bashing to note that the straight girl isn't going to get anywhere with a gay man

Congrats on getting back out there. Just keep in mind that if you are going to be seeing more than one for any extended period, you should make sure they know you are dating more than one. Even if you will ultimately be monogamous, it's just good to be out in the open that you have more than one in the consideration category.

good luck! i hope that your dates go well and that you find someone who is right for you.

dating after an extended break can be weird; at least it was for me. however, it eventually worked out. today is my dating anniversary with my wife.

It's like riding a bike. ..
 
Congrats on getting back in the saddle. Online dating is strange eh? Have a friend divorced at 38 recently go through similar.

I use to go out with friends and work-friends every weekend, clubbing, often after-hours. I met some cool, attractive women through all of that, but closest marriage match was maybe 30% in terms of compatibility. Girls out there just weren't nerdy enough for me.

One day after work was slowing down (and I felt I could afford to really have a social life), I checked out this new thing called "Yahoo Personals". It was a free service, still new. Well computers are nerdy, I'll give it a shot. I worked up a Bio, posted, and sifted through some girls. Found an interesting one and flagged it. She was apparently online, saw me checking out her post and started a chat. We got married a year and a half later.

I think Tinder is geared more to booty calls...not that there's anything wrong with that.
But Lurch wants him a girlfriend.
 
So now I'm on another date. I messaged her first this morning and we're meeting now. She's a few years older than me and she looks cute :)

I had af few dates on plenty of fish before I met Evan. I've met people that found the one through POF the advise they gave was cast a large net.
