Remember in high school/college how easy it was to find someone to date or "fall in love with". Why now is it so hard to meet someone? I just don't understand? Can someone help me out here.

Well given that you are not with any of those individuals perhaps you've discovered more about yourself and what you desire in a partner?

Remember its not a matter of "dating a lot of people" but finding some"one" special ... take your time you are worth it.

Because we idealize our partner, therefore he/she will only exist in our minds

Maybe because it was a play back then. Now it's serious.

Or maybe now everyone seems to want more than can really give. confused

Youth have energy and vitality whereas people become bitter, hopeless, jaded and expectant as they grow older - they call this wisdom. But they are wrong, the people of these Western times grow older and none the wiser.

Simples, less choice. dunno

The older we get, the less singles are around. Ok, at some stage you start meeting people on round 2. wink

Looking at guys between 35 to 45 - a lot simply don't want a relationship or had bad experiences and well, don't want a relationship. wine

It's not hard to find someone.

It's hard to trust someone so people hold back and don't make the first step in fear of getting hurt.

I am just starting on this venture of getting a second chance at love so I will remain positive that it will not be too hard to find someone.

Try for in your 60s and 70s!

Married men want a fling. Single men don't know what they want, except they have been in relationships and now feel free. And add to that - in that age group there are 10 woman for every single man!

What's a girl to do?

I'm not bitter or feeling jaded....I take all my mistakes and wrong decisions as stepping stones...I may not be wise, because I'm not old lol....but all my experiences have made me wiser...stop bashing the western world all the time :)

I agree with those that say our taste and expectations change over time, when we're young we look for physical attraction (I'm still young by the way laugh ) as we get older we realize that beauty is only skin deep and look for a stable relationship which in our day and time is going to be almost impossible because this day and age everyone is out what they want, what can I get out of this or that...only looking out for themselves
