I've never been in this situation (Single and looking) I met wy wife when I was 6 years old, started dating her when we were 16 and married her at 20. We've been married now for 45 years(I've been told te firs 46 are the worst.)

I will make one observation though. Wearing a wedding ring doesn't always mean that a man is married. Many widowed men still wear their wedding rings, and that doesn't mean that they are still bonded to their deceased wife.

Good luck with your quest.
