You showed a good attitude in a tough time, and it was noticed and rewarded...good for you. 
I know that couldn't have been easy then.
Yes, the current economic situation is part of what is having a toll on my situation...or at least, it's part of delaying it. Not all, but a definite part of it.
Sad, but true. And patience is a virtue I'm getting used to practicing.

Thanks druidess6308!
I guess our current world wide economic state is not as gloomy as some have expressed. Only 3 response posts.
Even here in the US and my home town, I see the Walmart, Target, and the mall parking lots full of cars, they can't all be window shopping.

Hi rubendario
Well, I congratulate you on your take on things; sounds like you have a solid base, which in this day and age is precious.
I personally see some good things coming out of the recession as regards dating and general communication between people. I believe that it is forces us to go back to basics a little more, and stop focusing on the material and more on what is really important, i.e. kindness, caring, compassion, etc. Dates do not have to be showy, and I for one find someone trying to impress me with showy gestures to be a turn off.
If you really care about someone, and that other person KNOWS you care, the material side of a date is irrelevant. A great effort can be made in other respects, to show that person you think a great deal of them.
If the person you are meeting is not content with what you can provide, and does not understand financial constraints, then they are not worth the effort anyway.

petalbabe, thanks for the feedback!
Of course, you're completely and absolutely correct!
There are too many materialistic people on this planet and our current condition is a direct reflection of that. Until all the worlds riches and resources are all evened-out and greed is recognized and punished for the disease that it really is, we will continue to experience this tug of war. We have enough for everyone.

I have seen it worst or me in 1980, when we had that recession, I had a Brother Murdered, It took many years to get thru that one. As for now, i think all need to be wise on their spending, recession or not, So many appear, to be so foolish, with the money they do have , and then, HAVE TO HAVE a new car, just as to impress people! We must all live within our means, and stop worring about IMPRESSING the one next door.

i know mostly man are affected of this global crisis,especially to those people never experienced the thoughest life..if u cant move to another state and u dont have reason to move,i think u dont need to move if your job situation is alright now.
these days ladies are very understanding,but it depends how u intoduced yourself to her...if your job is still strong,stop worriying,i will suggest try to study or learn other things that may lead u to get a new job..

rubendario: I was scheduled to loose my job at the end of last year. I had to train people overseas to take over all my work. I trained people from Argentina, India, and Brazil. I was fortunate, by the end of Dec. to find another job within the same company and with more pay.
I know I was helped by management because I trained with a big friendly smile and I fully accepted the situation and even took time to get to know my trainees and their cultures, while my other coworkers did not. Globalization is a fact of life now, and the economy is more interwoven into the world markets than ever before.
I count my blessings and thank God as I have two daughters and it's their welfare I care about more than my own. I am even blessed with some extra income to go on vacation this year.
Now all this is not for bragging and bringing someone down. But I know there are allot of people out of work right now and just yesterday I heard on the news that more large companies are getting ready to lay off thousands of people within this month. I would imagine many people are affected by this in many ways and the ability to date is one of them. And this is a definite ripple effect world wide.
It's hard to go on a date these days without money. If you don't have a job, your not a good prospect for a women. For many men, it's different, they are used to being the provider most of their life anyway. Some women judge men solely on their employment status. What if he was employed for many years and just lost his job to no fault of his own like this economy?
Now, although I am employed, the economy still has some effect on other parts of my life. For example, I would love to move to a Southern State, but I can not due to the housing marketing's condition, my home is not worth what it was just last year.
So, I can't move, because my house is not worth selling, and I may not find another job where I decide to reside.

I am not a broke, jobless bum, so I'm not really affected (tho it would be nice to have the right woman to go 1/2 with on the taxes and bills).
The only change I notice, is that a bunch of dating services are trying harder and sending me a little more spam, in the vain hope they'll get my business... who knows, maybe the tough times are causing a few of them to be honest!

None of your answers apply to me. I am retired from two jobs and draw three retirement checks. I own a business and enjoy income from it even though I don't work in the business anymore.
The financial situation hasn't impacted my ability to date. I have basically no change in my dating life. I do understand how it does impact a lot of people. I do know many things are different today than a year or two ago. I haven't ever cared about money, but I do have some.
Your Thread asked has the economic times impacting my dating and search for "her". The simple answer is no.

Actualy, I have been working on another career for some time and I was about to start a business after the layoff, but it never happened, so now I just do it when I have extra time. So, I do have other skills just in case I need them. My current position is very secure and seems to be getting more secure as time passes.
Thanks for the comment!

I am sorry to read about Brother.
It's definitely not worth keeping up with the Jones now a days.

That's interesting from a Internet marketing point of view.

Should it really make a difference? Poor, rich, or in between, you can probably have as good a time, better in some cases, on very little money as you would spending a lot!

I don't think it should make a difference...It's called creativity...and it certainly doesn't always take money to have fun if you're with the right person....

i suppose you could look at it in a positive light if you connect with someone in these bad times and it lasts, future is bright when things pick up
easy to stay with someone when times are good its when things get tough that tests a relationship
