I guess I could avoid this by not having an Alsatian, but I am beginning to wonder what the chances are that I will never go on another date, or have sex again.
I've been single for two years, divorced for one. Two small-ish dcs. Full time demanding job. Tired, stressed and a bit grumpy. Nearly 40.
But I have lost weight, smartened up my image and generally look better than I did when married. Despite that, I swear it is as if I am invisible to the opposite sex. And I don't know any single men, nor, it would appear, do any of my friends. To be fair, I haven't made a point of asking them, but they aren't exactly falling over themselves to offer up single friends I might want to go on dates with.
I suspect you will all tell me to try internet dating. But when it's words on a screen I can't get over my innate pickiness - when I take a look on these sites, there's always a reason why I couldn't possibly begin to imagine going on a date with the person behind the profile. In real life I suspect most of my reasons for rejecting them wouldn't matter because I'd have met them and they would be perfectly lovely, but with dreadful spelling, or a passion for football, or whatever it is that puts me off them at the moment.
What to do? Where to go? I don't really want a serious long term relationship, but I certainly wouldn't mind some male attention.

Seriously, what are the chances I will die alone and be eaten by an Alsatian?
