Hang in there Travis,
I wasn't searching for anyone when I found "Her". She came into my life when I was divorced and angry at women in general. Her compassion turned me around and saved me from a life of solitaire and TV dinners.
It seems that the harder you look for something the harder it is to find. Try different circles of people, a new venue. Be sincere and most importantly, be yourself. There is somebody for everybody and we don't always know when we'll meet. I was married for twenty years the first time but didn't find my true "mate' until after I was forty. Give it some more time and you will find the right one. You'll know when she comes around. When you think her life is worth more that yours is a pretty good indicator. Be brave. If you find someone you are interested in, walk right up and introduce yourself.
You publicly demonstrated your compassion and empathy. I think you’re a super guy and some day soon a very nice gal will think the same.
