I just settled in a new city and my son thinks it's time I began to date again. I'd like to know where the good men are, the ones who are kind and considerate, who have good jobs and have, or have had, families of their own in the past. I don't want married men; I don't want abusive men. I don't want to go to bars because I'm afraid all I'll meet are guys who hang out in bars, and I already have one alcoholic ex-husband! I have a good job, make good money, and am a darned interesting and intelligent person. Where should I go to meet "my kind" of guy?
throw a holiday party at your house/apartment for your close friends, and tell them to bring their friends. during the party, start talking to some of these friends' friends. Youll never know who you might meet!!
also go to the library. lots of intelligent people there.
does your son do a sport? talk to his team mates' parents, theres probably bound to be some single parents.
and last but not least, COWORKERS, and even your clients if you work in a business situation.
what about neighbors? keep a whatchful eye for any single ones.
good luck!!!
and if all else fails theres always those dating websites, although i dont recomend them, but again you never know who you might find [ MAK's advice column | Ask MAK A Question ]

Haha, just walk around, maybe make conversation such as, "Have you ever tried this recipie before? I'm wondering if it tastes good," or just try to make casual conversation with them.
If you see a guy at a supermarket, it's probably because he has no one to cook for him, so he's probably single, unless he's married and his wife sent him out. But otherwise, he's probably just cooking for himself, which is a plus, because he knows how to cook!

If you love books, then go to a bookstore and kind of hang around,get a drink, browse books, and talk to some interesting guys you see there. Same goes with cooking, movies, knitting, anything!
Then of course you could meet complete assholes there too. You just need to be open to meeting new people, and don't try too hard to find someone. It'll happen.
clarayow answered Sunday December 31 2006, 9:02 am: It is very difficult to answer your question, honestly. You asked "where" should you go to meet your kind of guy, and I'm like..wat?? Are you asking whether you should go to new york or whether you should freqent cafes, antique shops, etc?
Whatever the case, no one can tell you where to meet "your kind" of guy. Of cos, everyone loves a kind husband and hates a violent one. In every place and country, there will be a good (or maybe unequal?) mix of good and bad guys, and it all really depends much on luck/fate whether you can meet the right guy. I'd say don't push it, just go on doing your daily stuff and if you meet a nice guy, grab him. Get to know him more then. Socialising and widening your circle of friends is key.
