Question
I have been divorced for 4 years.  My boyfriend was killed 2 years ago.  And my last relationship he treated me like I was a nobody.  I do go to church, and I have my own business I run.  Do you have any suggestions on how to find a nice young man?  I'm 34 years old and brought up on good old fashioned values.  Your input is appreciated.

Answer
Church is the best place to find someone with the same values as yours.  Gently give hints to your friends at church that you're looking.  Check out area denominational events and participate in ones you like and/or you think would attract the kind of man you're looking for.  Single men often don't think to go to church - it's often women who bring men to church, so you may have to let people know you're looking so that they "hook you up" with a family member or friend.

Another way is a dating service or online service which allow you to search locally.  This site doesn't make links clickable, so you may be able to have this emailed to you and then the links may become clickable, otherwise you'll have to copy and paste then in your browser.:

Expertise

I've been answering questions online for over a decade & have received good ratings. I've also helped people in many other situations - in person and in other ways online. Looking for a lifelong, loving relationship? I`ve been with the same partner for 30+ years and it's not just a coincidence. I've worked at it and the first part was to find the right man for me. I hope I can help you do the same.

Experience

My own marriage has worked out great, though it has taken work, I've learned a lot and continue to learn. I realize, though, that everyone is different and so is each relationship, so I enjoy observing others. I've also read a lot about the subject and know many couples - some who have made poor partner decisions and others who've maintained a lifelong relationship of love.

Education/Credentials
I am educated as a teacher and primarily work with young people, many who are already attracted to the opposite sex at a young age, but their families often are poor role-models for having a life-long relationship.
