Find Love Blog

I have a lot of friends who are older singles and they’re great people. They’re successful, happy and outgoing. They have great careers, have lived interesting lives and always have lots to talk about. But for whatever reason, they’ve found themselves single at this time in their lives. It can be frustrating for anone to be alone and I will quite often recommend to my friends that they try out one of the great dating personals sites that are out there. They’ve worked for a lot of people, and there are many great stories of people finding happiness this way.

My friend Catherine is an older woman who is one of the top chefs in Vancouver. She’s intelligent, well-spoken and beautiful. A few years ago she found herself single after her partner of many years left her for someone else. It left her quite heartbroken and she was devastated for a long time. It was hard for her to reconcile with the fact that after such a big investment in time, she was once again alone. It made her somewhat bitter for a little while, but then, on a whim, she signed up for an online dating service and after meeting a few older singles she finally met a great guy that she’s been with for two years now. They’re happy and in love and none of this would have happened if she hadn’t taken that chance and put herself out there again. Certainly not an easy feat for anyone, but we all know that there can be no reward unless we take some risks.

There are a lot of quality dating services out there that cater to all different kinds of people and all sorts of interests. Whether you’re looking for a casual encounter or for that special someone, there’s sure to be a match for you. For my friends who are older singles, I’ll continue to encourage them to try out one of these services because, as corny as it may sound, I believe we all deserve to be happy. Don’t you?

Even though dating personals are making it easier than ever to find people with similar tastes and shared goals, positive relationships are still hard to come by and the dating scene can be discouraging. Given how hard it is to find someone with whom you’re compatible, it’s no wonder so many people feel stuck in bad relationships.

I think our culture makes getting out of bad situations particularly difficult. We place a lot of importance on relationships so letting go is doubly hard. I’m not an expert, but from what I read relationship addiction is becoming more and more of a problem these days. Peoples’ sense of significance seems to be directly related to the quality of their relationships that they’ll refuse to admit that things have gone down hill. Some people are just too terrified of being alone to consider a breakup.

The flip side of addiction is the wild spin when you cut yourself off. This lead me to another thing that I find really frustrating about the dating scene. A lot of people who go through bad breakups end up in what people call “rebound relationships.” I’ve never understood this concept. It’s the instance where no one seems to strive for a positive relationship, they just seem to use the idea as excuse to be as self-destructive and inconsiderate as the possibly can as though they took the phrase “misery loves company” a little too seriously.

It’s hard enough trying to build a positive relationship when both people involved are trying to make things work. When one person just doesn’t care because their have a preconception about what the dating pattern should look like or they’re just trying to use the other person as a distraction, then there is really nothing you can do. There is definitely such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Wouldn’t it be better if people were just, you know, honest and straightforward? Is that really too much to expect? I guess I’m being overly pessimistic and I should really stop myself. I’m sure there is such a thing as a positive relationship and people willing to build them. I guess all I want to say is that we’re all in this together and we could really make things easier on each other.

Well, I never thought it would happen, but this past weekend my best friend got married. He’s always been a bit of a loner. Not really by choice, but he’s the kind of guy that will take off for a weekend to go hiking in the mountains, or spend a morning running. There are few people that can keep up to his pace. At some point, I’m sure he must have had enough of this because he put his hat in the ring on one of the websites we took a look at here called Fitness Singles. Meeting a like-minded gal was a huge coup for my friend, Dan. His gal made the most beautiful, fit bride and the ceremony was wonderful. I was just glad they didn’t make us go for a run after it was all over.

We all let up a cheer as they couple had their first kiss as newlyweds. Both of them wore traditional wedding attire, the only difference being that they were both wearing running shoes. I had to laugh out loud when I noticed, but it seemed appropriate as they are both the kind of people that could take off for a run at a moment’s notice. I know that when they first started dating, they went running more than they went for coffee or dinner. They’d spend time at the gym in order to get to know each other. They’d have long talks with each other about their lives and their goals as they hiked through the mountains. It must have been wonderful for each of them to find a person that they could spend time with, a person who enjoyed the same things the other did. It’s not easy for anyone, but if you’re the kind of person who just can’t stop, it’s even more difficult to find fit singles these days.

I caught up with Dan after the wedding, as we all gathered to celebrate the newly married couple. I’d never seen him smile so much as I did that day. His grin went from ear to ear and it looked as though it would last his lifetime. He told me that he never believed that he would find someone that would marry him and I jokingly told him the same. It was good to laugh and to celebrate love and life. I shook Dan’s hand as I was leaving, his grip firm in mine and looked him in the eye. I could see that he was truly happy.

I’ve dated a lot of women. That’s maybe not something to brag about, but for better or worse, I just haven’t met someone that I feel like I want to make a lifetime commitment to yet. That’s fine with me because I have a lot of fun dating a variety of women, each different than the next and wonderful in their own way. I dated a sweet Jewish girl for a while, and it was one of the most fun experiences of my life. I also felt quite pleased that she had chosen me to date and not one of the Jewish singles that her mom was always trying to set her up with.

I met Ruth at a conference we had both attended for work. We had sat next to each other for the entire weekend. Neither one of us was very interested in the subject material being presented, so we ended up talking and laughing with each other the whole weekend, much to the annoyance of those around us. The conference ended on Sunday afternoon and I asked her if she would have dinner with me that evening. She told me her mother wouldn’t be too happy about it, but she consented, nonetheless. She asked if I could pick her up at 8 o’clock that evening, and I agreed.

I rang her doorbell at exactly 8. When the door opened, there stood my sweet Jewish girl and her mother. Ruth was smiling, but her mother’s eyes bore into me as though she were trying to set my hair on fire with her gaze. It was then I realized that this would be one of those strange dates that I would remember forever. I was very polite, introduced myself and was allowed entry to the house. For about half an hour her mother pelted me with questions, asking about my job, my health, my relationship with my mother and what I planned to do with her daughter that evening. The whole time Ruth just sat there smiling, obviously amused. All in all, it wasn’t that horrible an experience, and when her mother finally relented, we went out and had a wonderful evening.

I saw Ruth a few more times, but we both realized that there would be no future to our relationship. It was too bad because I had really enjoyed the company of this sweet Jewish girl, but our family backgrounds were too different, and we resigned ourselves to that fact with no regrets, or distress. It was just the way it was and sometimes you just have to let things be. Still, I asked her out a few more times, but she continued declining dates with me, and so I finally just let it go. I had a great time with her while it lasted and I even enjoyed the chats I had with her mother. As annoying as it all may sound, what I loved about it was the fact that this woman was merely trying to make sure her daughter would settle for nothing but the best. And what could possibly be wrong with that?
