I am a 49 year old single guy, who found himself divorced after 23 years of marriage. I wasn't exactly sure how to go about meeting women when it got to the point I felt like I was ready. I'm not the most outgoing guy in the world, so I thought I would give several dating websites a try.
Eharmony is by far the most organized and most selective. It has a wide range of personality types and offers a quick out if there are some you just really aren't interested in.
I personally think this website offers an excellent outlet to meet new people, especially if it's been a while since you've dated and really don't know how to proceed. The website is open 24/7, so it's there to search candidates and receive responses without me having to sit in front of the computer all day.
I'm still a bit apprehensive about the whole process, but I think that comes from my inexperience rather than any problem with the website. I'm currently getting ready to call one of my "matches" for the first time... I'll keep you updated to let you know how it goes...
