You look quite pretty in your avatar pic, so I can't imagine that you are not getting 'hit on' also, unless you are just frequenting the wrong kind of places...
On another note, after almost five years of celebacy I'll bet you have a lot of penned-up frustration to work out with the next guy who is lucky enough... ;)
LOL no frustration in that department........just the frustration of having no one around to talk to , to snuggle on the couch watching a good movie, no one to take out to dinner and just be adults. I think we all know what that is like

Yes, I know the feeling. I have been widowed since Feb.'07 and in about the last 6 to 8 months have been trying to make a concious effort to date again. But I just get turned down or not even flirted with, that I know of. Maybe I just can't tell. I never have been very good at that kind of thing. It's frustrating as hell.
Jewel and Dave, There is no trick to this. You don't have to flirt nor know how to read signals. What it takes is going out in the world to places where prospective friends and dates are (groups, meetings, discussions, volunteer organizations) and when you find someone to your liking, or potentially so, invite him or her to something like a coffee, a movie, a picnic. From that you will get a better idea whether there are any possibilities here for any sort of relationship. Be prepared to hear No Thankyou with good grace and continue doing this. Eventually it pays off.
What? You're beautiful, so all you need is a confident attitude with which you can send out vibes. I also live in a rural community, and I understand there is very limited choices and opportunities. But register for some online sites such as myspace.com or tagged.com. That opens up possibilities from other locales. Don't give up; put yourself out there. Best of Luck!

Yes, I do realize the reality of this. I haven't been single for over 20 years and not quite sure of what to do with myself. What you have said is very helpful and encouraging. I think I am going through the stage of getting to know myself again.
Your situation reminds me of the late Sam Kinniston. Come on, everyone remembers him right....the loud mouth, screaming comic. I remember a joke he told once that wasn't very politically correct but it was about the starving people in Ethiopia and he screamed, "MOVE TO THE FOOD." If you are living in a rural community and there are no men around to talk to, visit, date....my advice would be "MOVE TO THE MEN."
