So I don't know where to begin. But where I am right now i'm happy with my job and what I have done in my past. I have survived a stroke, a vet, and I am currently a teacher. That being said I suck when dealing with women. I am not a stranger to kink or to relationships that are not considered normal. However, When I have tried dating now i have run into a brick wall. and I realize im in my 30's, and never been married, but I have my reasons. (mainly when I was in the military I saved money rather then get laid.) I am finding it harder and harder to find someone who I connect with. I find that where I am today geo wise, I could get laid no matter what. But at the same time I am not a jodi (aka home wrecker) and I still have my own code of conduct. I have been on a few dates and the outcome was never positive. What I am asking is, can you help a man in his mid 30's how to date in this dating times?
Depends which way you want to do it .
First of all age is just a number . Its how you look and feel that counts.
As the poster above has pointed out they could be a good start and perhaps other dating websites. I would be tempted to go for the subscription types as there will likely be more genuine people on there. Some of the free sites have plenty of timewasters and married people on there going off some of the feedback I have seen on other forums .
The old fashioned way of going to a late bar is still relevant today if you live in a large town or city . Local searches should help you find the hot spots . I wouldn't go alone unless you are very good at socialising and a very good conversation starter. I would take a wing man who can keep you company and keep you talking and help to keep your feet on the ground .
If you have been out of the dating scene for some time I would look at the various 30s and 40s and over style videos . This will help you with your image should it need tweaking . Also learn about body language and eye contact. Many women practise this art and are better than us guys at it . Knowing how to read it could help you get the foot in the door. All these can be found on Youtube. Remember you need to be better than the competition and not just one of the crowd.
The final tip is that its not a race and take your time and try to look your best at all times. You never know that checkout lady at the supermarket could be your Mrs . Fate is as strange as that sometimes .I met my Mrs by fate so I do know it happens .
Best of luck
