BTW - not all women think of taken men as a buffet - but the stereotype exists for a reason.

That rings very true, IMHO. And it doesn't matter if you're taken or not. I met my SO within a month of moving back to the east coast, when I was busy settling in and totally not looking for a relationship. She met me when she was moving down the coast, was busy setting in, and totally not looking for a relationship.
I know it always sounds trite, but you have to be in a state of not looking in order to find somebody beyond a fling.
