So, here's the thing.....eventually I would like to remarry, but I don't like to date. Not a fan of the dating process. I don't like sitting down to dinner with someone I don't know well or answering a bunch of questions from some sort of mental checklist. Makes me feel like I'm in a pageant and need to give some sort of stock beauty queen answers....ugh. This is why I normally only date people I already know. :)

Does that even make sense to anyone?
I think when we were younger we were more active and had a larger circle of friends. Then we get careers, homes and kids and that circle gets smaller and smaller because we go out less and less. To me, it only makes sense to increase our friend circle, otherwise you'll run out of candidates pretty soon. I'm not talking about our friends on Facebook or CC, but our friends at our church, at work, or somewhere in our city. I understand that because of the last days good candidates are hard to find. We work more. but I think an even bigger problem is the electronic age itself. Instead of making friends the old-fashioned way, the majority of our friends are online. We might know them, but they are hundreds to thousands of miles away. The electronic age has made us lazy and now we no longer have a decent circle of friends from our neighborhoods.
