Well, I wouldn't say I've given up on dating, but I CERTAINLY have gotten fed up of late! I'm too old and too interested in marriage to totally throw in the towel. If I were still in my early 20's I'd probably be willing to put my hopes aside and forget about it.kmm said:Ufonium2 - Angelina is a pretty name!
Grand_Duchess Elizaveta - I understand your frustration in husband - or lack thereof- department. Ignore my advice on this one if you're not looking for it, but in case you are, here are two suggestions that helped me and others I've known...
1) the husband material seems to come along when you've gotten so annoyed with the dating thing you have absolutely no interest in it anymore and have said to heck with it, and are just happy to be doing your own thing (or better yet God's thing, but I wasn't yet a Christian when I met my husband - he can be credited with introducing me to Orthodoxy, and we've explored it together as he grew up as an agnostic/atheist as well).
2) volunteer for something - it doesn't necessarily have to be a charitable organization either. Anything that involves aspects of culture, sports, the outdoors, etc. - whatever is appealing to you. That's how I met my guy, who was directing some community theatre (i volunteered in the props dept.). Not only did I meet my husband, but others will benefit from your time and talents too. Church activities are obviously good too, but of course many parish communities are too small to provide many opportunities for either activities or potential husbands.

I'll have to think about the volunteering thing. I live in a small community and I'm not sure of what kinds of opportunities I have. Thanks for the advice, KMM! I'm glad you've joined this community!
