Quoted for truth.
I separated after a long period of marriage (24 years) and had no desire, interest, urge for the sweeter forms of contact. Lived in my parents attic and regrouped financially and mentally. After a year or so I started to feel ready, and did the online dating thing. Met an uber-frau in another city who I would never have had a chance to hook up with in the pre-internet world. Couldn't be happier about life right now. I mention this so that you know there are positive online hookup stories. You could be quite surprised at what good may come of it, if you allow yourself to accept online dating as something more than a knock or a black mark in your personal book of life. Actually, there are more and more people hooking up that way, especially folks who have a professional life and want to try something other than the school/bar/personal interest club methods for meeting sympatico mates. I am blue collar in my work history, and my lady is very much the educated professional - we would only have interacted through such an agency as an online site.
You are beginning to stir to life. No pressure, no worries. Eventually you will have some lady all over your well-maintained self and you both will be very happy. The time you are spending right now in your inner landscape adjustment will be deemed very worthwhile.
