I'm ready for a serious relationship, but where are all the guys?

Does anyone have advice or tips besides "be patient" for me as I try to find "the one"? I'm 28, and ready to get started down a path towards marriage and kids, so I'm jumping into the dating pool. Asked out a guy at work, started online dating. So far all that has gotten me is one coffee date ...

I don't know either!

Unfortunately, they don't all appear at once and if they do, they're usually not the ones you'd want to date. I can understand the urgency but the most you can do is online date, go out more and meet meet meet!

Have a great day! x

I'm wondering where all the women are. I'm 29 and have only ever been in serious relationships. I've only become recently single again after a long relationship with a woman who was one of my closest friends before we started dating. Now, all the women my age are already in serious relationships or even married with kids. At least you got a coffee date. I've asked out 3 women since I became single and haven't even been able to get coffee.

My advice is to keep trying. Maybe meet someone through a friend. I think it's easier for women to be asked out than for men to successfully ask women out.

I would suggest taking inspired actions - going to places or events you know you will like and casually keeping an eye out for any men that seem nice, interesting, or attractive. You don't have to actually ask people out randomly but you can get conversations started here and there if someone seems interesting enough to talk to. Just something like "I like your shirt! The Beatles huh? Are they your favorite band?" or any sincere compliment/remark will do. If they take the conversation bait, awesome, but if they don't, then don't feel totally deflated. Talking to people does require some looking and feeling silly but you eventually find the ones who are worth putting yourself out there for. Don't get too hung up on the end result either - just have fun with it. Once you start looking at life as a race, it becomes harder and harder for you to really find what you're looking for. Inspired action and authenticity, on the other hand, will draw people to you like you're a magnet.

Online dating can be good! Try looking at books and articles about how to get the most from it and the quality dating sites, how to design your profile, etc. Good for you for being ready to jump back into the dating pool. Wishing you all the best!

As for me, I would like to advice you one thing. Be patient and try any relations that you want. When I was struggling from the brake-up, I started to date on different websites. My friend, recommended me to take a look at https://datingtop10.net/ where are a lot of different dating websites reviews and feedbacks. People are sharing their experience about each website. You can choose any for your taske and I am pretty sure that you will find your love there.

The old cliche, which is true in my mind, is that "you find them when you stop searching".

PS. I've just come out of a 4 year relationship. We broke up 5 months ago. Still healing alot. It was very serious and I was close to proposing. So I'll be doing my fair share of healing this year.

I'd like to go on dates in the future. But for now I guess I'm taking some time out on my own.

But yeah, I tried Tinder and kept deleting it haha.

This will take me some time to rebuild my life really.

Everything came crashing down and it's ground zero again.
