Bill, I guess a future partner can be found lots of places. I met Ray at a dance, he had a sister who was at school with my sister and he had worked with my father. We didn't know any of this till much later. Of course we were both young then as we have been married 38 years. My sister met her husband at a dance too, the same place I met Ray at but not the same time. Ray's sister dated a girlfriend's boyfriend's brother and married him although the original pair split up. Another brother married a young widow and added "their" child to the four she already had.

I know some people do have successul internet relationships that do find two compatible people and match them up, one of my neighbours down the road now lives in Minnesota for that reason. It does depend on what kind of person you are looking for as a companion, beauty and kindliness don't always go together for instance sometimes looking for a person with the same background and values pays off.

Maybe you should look in other places too. You could take up some hobby where you might meet some younger women. And men in an all male clubs don't often act as matchmakers though maybe you could ask about sisters, girl cousins etc.

There must be someone looking for a guy like you , well I hope so anyway. Good luck in your search.

Sue.
