Many well-intentioned people have said to me over the years, "When the time is right, you’ll find the right guy. There’s someone out there for everyone." Of course all of these do-gooders are married. What do they know? They aren’t living the nightmare of being over thirty and re-entering the dating world.

When I found myself suddenly single, many years had passed since I had been on a real date. Although I had been married, in no way did our relationship involve "dating." The progression of our relationship was typical. Our courtship lasted for about a year, but dealing with a typical man, "dating" stopped after the first month, when he became sure that I was going to stick around. (Canceling my adventure to Australia, moving into his beach pad and the utterance of that fatal "L" word, must have been all he needed to turn the love-o-meter down and settle into complacency.)
