I have long since given up on dating. I do not find that many men attractive to begin with. If they are ugly on the inside, I can't see the outside at all.

Have you tried a coffee shop meeting, walk around a park, or a walk around a mall?

A fella' from bikejournal found a girlfriend through cyclingsingles. He is very happy with her although she is not a cycling fanatic, like he is. She is interested in cycling and was involved in other sports prior to cycling. Her ultimate goal is becoming a tri-gal.

I was introduced to a fella' through a friend because he thought we'd be a good match. On paper, we should be but he has too many phobias, including a fairly wide range of conversational topics. We have similar Biblical beliefs but there are some very significant differences and he is inflexible on those points. He is retired already, which is fantastic for him; however, the annoying comments he makes about his position in life are less than fantastic. He says he will call then doesn't, which is very telling even in friendship. I would say we are still in the acquaintance stage so I don't see this going further than distant friends.

And the other stories I could tell of other men ................

I wish you all the luck on finding a mate to share life with. Keep us updated on your experiences.
