    Dating advice is extremely personal. You’ll get better advice if you tell us:

    age, sex, location

    why did you stop dating?

    what is your previous dating experience?

    what are you looking for (hookups, marriage, something orthogonal or in between)?

    Why are you asking for advice - ie, what expectations do you have for why dating will not be easy and straightforward?

    what does a typical day/week look like for you? What is your job and your hobbies? Do you stay active and eat a healthy diet? Do you have a solid group of friends and various networks for finding new friends? How much of your time and money is available for whatever you feel like, versus already allocated to something?

      I’ve kind of been a loner since i moved out of my dads house, after my first marriage ended i was left with nothing but my ego and a desire to continue living and a car… it wasn’t easy but i got back on my feet… from homeless but working to craigslist shared apartments… now im just on the moment of i want something more but i don’t want to lock myself into a mortgage on a condo or some bs, i wish i could find a woman who has a job, lives relatively nearby and knows what she wants…. Granted that’s asking a lot nowadays from anyone… i guess i just want to get out of my 30s with a stable love life with someone I’m sharing a home with that isn’t a psycho like my first wife and where I don’t have kids I’m in a really good position and it’s the person I’m with wants them. I would be down for that too. But I can’t do the online thing anymore or the dating apps. Too much uncertainty and all the girls overseas want is a green card and a sugar dad in my experience and I’m not falling into that trap again.
