glad you got your money back. i've got nothing like that to steal which is why i was concerned about the cost of dating. i own a farm free and clear and if they want some dirt they can have at it.

i think this is good advice. the part about seeing people you know when you're out with someone is pretty easy to do around here and i would really like to avoid that. my ex moved to town which in this county is where most of the restaurants are. running into her would be uncool. maybe...

My wife and I love to go out during happy hour time or to a nicer restaurant that has a great selection of appetizers. She loves to have several different (variety) small appetizer dishes (no main course) and a glass of whatever. This is an inexpensive way to have a nice meal, whether casual, romantic, or fancy. We started dating this way the first time I met her... and we still do. She taught me this strategy so it is 'female' tested. :laughing: Good luck to you.

Randy - I noticed that you are a farmer from your profile. Check out www.farmersonly.com which is a dating site for farmers only.
i checked this out. not as many hits as match.com. thanks for all the suggestions and advice everyone. i'm gonna see if i can date some women i already know to start and if necessary move on to the online dating thing. has anyone tried speed dating? do they have this for the more mature folks?

You're cheap, nothing wrong with that, I am too. 
plentyoffish is a free site. It used to be a good site but now seems overrun with sweaty bettys. OKCupid is my preferred free dating site. I tried eHarmony for three months... waste of money for me. I ended up with only a couple contacts that went all the way through open communication or whatever it was called. I'm a FB friend with one and she lives too far away so we never went out on a date. The other one was boring to me and not attractive. If you are around women in your daily travels I think meatspace is a better way to meet women.
My last three online dates had me wanting to just leave after 5 minutes. One of them I had conversed with for over a month before we could arrange a date. We got along well on the phone. Nice women but they looked different in person or as I say NO CHEMISTRY. You can't deny that in your face chemistry that happens when first meeting someone. The dating sites can also be a regional thing. My buddy lives about 20 miles from a large city and had lots of dates with eharmony where he met his wife. When I signed on to OKCupid a few years ago it was dead around here but now it has picked up. I usually agree to meet them at some chain restaurant like Applebees etc. I get them to meet me halfway if they live distant. I've had a couple of them that lived over 120 miles away. I offer to pay but if they offer to split I say how about you get the tip and I'll get the rest. Oh and if there's ever a chance she has worked as a waitress you had better tip good if you pick up the tip too.

Get a younger chick. The relationship/marriage might not last but you will have lot of fun while it does.
On serious note: I was matched to my current wife by a mutual friend who figured out we could be good for each other. I took her to Japanese restaurant on our first date (no music there), then I installed a dishwasher for her on our second date (that impressed her), she was great help while remodeling a basement to a play room for a coworker on our third date (that impressed me) and we ordered Chinese take home and ended up in bed together on the fourth date. We had 21 years wedding anniversary last week.
What I want say is that people who know both of you might have good judgment if you would fit together.
