Just pick a person or 2 and ask them for coffee after the event/crisis is over. Keep things on a strictly friendship level at first, being "rushed" is Very off-putting! Carry business cards with your contact info, and you can use them to get theirs, also. I am sure there are choices around you, but you have to ease on up on them!

Congratulations! You are smiling in your photos. Check. But with photos from the chest up, it looks like you're not proud of what's below your chin.

What matters more than anything when it comes to your online dating profile? One word: Photos. Photos can drastically increase your chances of getting more communication and dates. Or not.

Your main photo should be a clear, recent, head-and-shoulder shot, showing you smiling and looking at the camera.

You also need a recent, full body shot, again taken outdoors and smiling. Other pictures should show you outdoors, doing activities you enjoy. No hats, sunglasses, alcohol or stupid poses. You must be in every picture. Caption and date each photo-giving the location and year- to make the photos more interesting and clear.

Your profile is an advertisement to help you meet the kind of woman you want to date. The best profiles are well written, upbeat and interesting, with a dash of humor. Your first paragraph should be short and upbeat, and say something positive about you.

Internet dating is a written, visual medium. Correct spelling and grammar are important because it shows you care about details. Write in short paragraphs. Nobody wants to read a wall of words.

Describe your best characteristics and strengths, activities you enjoy, and what you are looking for in a relationship. Talk a little about the type of woman you want to meet using personality traits. Describe activities you enjoy and would enjoy doing with a woman. Avoid anything negative. Nobody wants to date a negative person.

I have had more luck finding fit, like-minded, single men on Fitness Singles. Agnostic.com is mostly for discussion and community.

I have no suggestions and I mostly stay away from senior centers or community centers. I'm not into people who talk Trump and "fake news." Not into a bar scene or nonsense in general. I found an interesting woman recently at a food pantry that also sells used items and I went back later coz I thought she worked there. Not so. She was a customer just like I was and was there looking for bargains. If I knew this at the time I would have asked her out to lunch.

Stop looking, put it out there and enjoy your life , opportunities will present themselves when least expected. Most women will not respond to you if you seem needy . Cultivate friendships and don’t get caught up on finding someone ( special ) , that is why we break up with each other because we put people on a pedestal they don’t ask for or want. You do that and they end up looking down on you , or you bail because you have this idea that truly can’t be lived up to .
