Mrrzy, the other thing I should mention, if you haven't headed out yet, is that it is very hard to get dates period when you get into your 40's, however great you may be -- I have no idea how old you are -- unless you have a very, very active extroverted social life. This is a sociological fact you have to put up with, and nothing personal. The easy opportunities provided by university or whatever dry up -- partly because all your friends now tend to be married, so the floating "hanging out with" population of potential partners of the other sex disappears, and there are complications about dating people at work. This is the major complaint of my unmarried acquaintances, male and female, beautiful, rich, and not quite so beautiful and rich!

yours, Peter T.
