I've been happily married for a long time and I married my high school sweetheart, so I don't know much about dating. What advice would you give to a friend in her late 40s and looking to date? Where would you suggest she start? She doesn't dance or want to go to a bar and mentioned possibly responding to craigslist ads. What advice would you give on where to meet someone new? No it's not me, but I agreed to go and be at another table at the Starbucks or wherever to have her back.  |

If she wants to do online dating, I would definitely suggest she go through an actual dating site and not Craigslist. The reputation for Craigslist online dating (where I live) is it's just for "hookups". Not to say there aren't people looking just for the hookups on dating specific websites, but if you are paying for an actual online dating site, you're likely to find people looking for more than a one night stand. I hope she finds what she's looking for!

Just say NO to Craigslist! Lol!! Sometimes you meet a great perks. In the weirdest of places,'like the grocery store or a book store. Do you have friends you can set her up with to help her get her feet wet? Someone you trust? I'd avoid work too, too many things to jeopardize if it goes south.  |

Definitely NO craigslist. Triple Murder/Suicide This happened recently in MI. If she doesn't want to do bars, then try online dating: match.com, eharmony.com, okcupid.com, etc. Since she's in her 40s, maybe ourtime.com? Is she active in her church? Maybe a singles group through that? |

He will never change for you. Love him as-is or find someone else.
You marry the entire family. If there's discord in the future in-law symphony then play a new instrument. They won't suddenly love you once you get to the aisle.
If he's not ambitious now assume he will stay this way.
40 or not...no glove no love.
Did that cover it?

My friend has been trying OK Cupid with some success - not finding "the one" but nice people to date. You answer a ton (you can do as little or as much as yo;u want) of their questions and then they show you who you are compatible with based on your answers. The more questions you answer, the closer you could find the match. |

DH and I met on eharmony, and I agree to use a dating site rather than craigslist. I hope she finds a great person!
