Now What?

Well, I think I'm more or less over my last relationship from hell, and I'm ready to venture out into the world again, but for the first time in my life, I'm really at a loss. I can't meet people through work, although I am back at work part time, now. YEA! But my work is from home, doing some free lance writing stuff. Meeting someone at a bar leaves me cold, and at 54, I'm too old for the bar scene, anyhow. Ditto, the online thing. It seems like any decent guy in my age group is already taken or gets snapped up in seconds of becoming available.

So what's a girl to do? I'm not looking for a knight in shining armor, but a guy who could hold up his end of a conversation would be nice. No ax murderers need apply.

Since this is such a inventive and witty group, I'm wondering if someone has any ideas for me, or should I resign myself to having Rikki Tikki Tabby be the "man" in my life?
