Hey Guys,
A few quick things about me.
- 40 yrs old
- renting a house from/living with a friend after my divorce
- The woman I was married to was my only relationship (serious or casual) and the only woman I had sex with. I didn't meet her until I was about 30 yrs old.
In general, I'm a pretty shy person, but I do tend to be more outgoing and inquisitive if I'm doing something I enjoy. Obviously, I don't have a lot of experience with the opposite sex, and that's why I'm creating this thread.
I took a break from dating, but I'm trying to get back into and I really want some advice to help me be more successful.
Currently, I'm on OKC and Eharmony, but not really getting a lot of responses on either. In the past year, I've been on 3-4 dates with women. Most of them I wasn't super interested in or attracted to and they didn't lead to second dates. One did ask me out on a second date, but she had lots of 'challenges' in her life that I wasn't ready to deal with and also, frankly, just wasn't super attracted to her (didn't feel a lot of chemistry)
Definitely willing to fill in any details if you guys have questions. But I'm generally looking for 2 pieces of advice.
1. Where are some good places to meet women when you're in your 30's and 40's?
I've gone to a few Meetups (i.e. Meetup.com) in the past, but sometimes I feel awkward trying to ask a girl for her number while at a meetup.
2. Would anyone be willing to critique/give me suggestions on my dating profile/pictures. If so, I'll post them here.
