Under the right circumstances, such as when you're facing opening the case of your Macbook Pro or some other laptop, there's nothing steamier than a guy chatting you up over the display of Phillips screwdrivers. Seriously, talking about tools seems to bring out the best in men. I'll add your idea to my next post coming up tomorrow. I'll also discuss (thanks for reminding me) the part attitude plays in attracting men. Keep those really creative comments coming!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715223968136858921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876489727977929042.post-65948356783260299022012-08-19T01:06:44.420-04:002012-08-19T01:06:44.420-04:00I am NOT looking but it seems that the men in Home...I am NOT looking but it seems that the men in Home Depot love a damsel in distress. I am a handywoman and the "older" men there LOVE to help me out. They fight over helping me. They notice when I have been working hard (really) and even noticed and complimented me when I changed my hair color. Now THAT could be a man you'd want. Not one you had to say "hey, do you notice anything different?" Again, I think sometimes you have to "NOT" be looking to "BE" looking.

She's great looking and has a super personality. I can't imagine her finding anyone as wonderful as Rick, but I have a feeling...when she's ready..she's going to have droves of men wanting to share tee time with her. Two good ideas, Eileen. I'll add them to my next post in case some readers don't get to the comments,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715223968136858921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876489727977929042.post-58450123802673933202012-08-15T20:00:42.155-04:002012-08-15T20:00:42.155-04:00My husband and I were a fix up.

She played--and was always being asked out by the guys. And there's always those computer group meetings--if you you're looking for a techie guy.Eileen B.http://www.authornews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876489727977929042.post-81411492162402921782012-08-15T00:18:42.501-04:002012-08-15T00:18:42.501-04:00My husband once sent me to auto mechanics class be...My husband once sent me to auto mechanics class because he wanted me to be able to fix the car. Sorry, I hated it. So I agree w/ Nancy. If you take a class it should be on a subject that interests you. Or COULD interest you. <br /><br />Are there travel clubs for singles?

Not a pretty picture. <br /><br />Stepping out of your comfort zone is a different matter and can make for interesting adventures. A friend of mine met her future husband at scuba diving classes (they honeymooned in Antigua). This was an entirely new activity for her--at fifty!--and she discovered simultaneously that she loved it and him. Happy ending on two counts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715223968136858921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876489727977929042.post-87460236070588185442012-08-14T22:07:10.745-04:002012-08-14T22:07:10.745-04:00This is very clever and funny, and also full of re...This is very clever and funny, and also full of really good advice. If I were looking, which I'm definitely not, I'd try some of these. Re: taking classes on particular topics, I'd suggest only signing up for workshops/activities you have at least some interest in. No real point in meeting somebody who is a huge home beer making fan if you can't stand beer or the idea of home brewing bores you to tears. It would be a waste of everybody's time, not to mention misleading.nancy baggetthttp://www.kitchenlane.comnoreply@blogger.com
