Has anyone tried any dating services? Any recommendations?

I tried E-Harmony. 99% of the guys on there want someone who is in her 20's, blonde, DD's, and a duck bunny.

The one guy that I did start communications with, we agreed to meet, but he was a no-show.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

Match. Plenty of Fish. Our Time.. are a few.

I don't know OP's age. If older, Our Time.

The men not on those dating sites, also generally want ladies in their 20's. These men are 40 and up.

They are generally not looking for a partner/wife, but FWB.

I met my husband (not married but our lives are joined in everything as if we are married) on match.com

it was love at first sight for us both

we have been together almost 3 years and its been a wonderful 3 years.

We both have grown kids and have been married before, we were both ready for an honest and true relationship with no drama.

We both also have elderly parents and we are very supportive of our parents and what they need.

Just be very honest in your profile about your age, pictures and what you are looking for.

Best of luck.

I tried Match and Plenty of Fish.

I went on several dates and I had a really nice time on all of them and they claimed they

did too but nobody asked me out on a second date.

They all said I was attractive and nice but I guess that wasn't enough.

I was dissappointed at online dating but some people had good luck with it just not me.

If I were young again, and were interested in a handy man/husband, I'd spend every day and/or weekend in a large home improvement center. Just wander around, and you'll find lots of men (many single) who are interested in improving their homes and/or making cabinets, etc. Carpenters, builders, etc. If you can manage to find an improvement center that caters to builders and contractors, that would be the place! Just pretend that you are interested in starting a project of some kind. You will find many 'helpful' men there. Lots of good luck!

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I wander through the big home stores looking for that guy that comes over and re-landscapes your yard. To heck with romance!

Guys you see in Home Depot are not looking for women. At least not the guys in my family. If they are in HD, they are looking for home improvements, tools and just plain "stuff"..... JMO and I wish you luck IF you ever find a guy in HD......Wink
