How am I going to meet a man? :(

Ex left DS and I back in Feb. I dearly want to meet someone as I have accepted that he isn't coming back.
Problems...

I live in the countryside on a farm.
I am self employed and work from home.
I am approaching 40.
I want another child (lots of men in their 40s have been there/done that and don't want more)

My single friends live in London and go on dates all the time...not that they have found proper boyfriends though....
I really don't want to move to London, and besides there are women coming out of the woodwork there and the men can choose a girl who does not already have a child....

I'd love to meet people "organically" but it just doesn't happen, and less so as we all get older/married off.

My only recourse is Tinder, as I hated OLD as the feelings of rejection got a bit much. However...its hardly the first point of call for decent guys wanting a life partner.....

I don't know what to do :(

Sorry I meant the debate was finished not wrong. Whoops.

Dirty - this would need a thread of its own on some other forum, but there is increasing evidence that pretty much everything is genetic- they have even found that political persuasion is-( children having same beliefs as parents) and that's taking into account nurture, via proper research.
Have a good google and you will find out a lot.
