writes: My relationship with my youngest child's father has been on the rocks for some years and I kept trying. Xmas I made it clear I was not happy and now what to move on. I have not allowed him to use me sexually for months.(does not take me out, does not talk about future, never met his family etc etc).I am so disappointed as I really thought he was the one. I have two kids for a previous relationship and had my last just before I turned 40. I do not want any more children.I met a great guy at my previous work place and mutual attraction developed and I could not stop thinking about him. It made me realise the sort of man I really need in my life now. I could not progress in that friendship as he was living with someone.I currently work as cabin crew for a major airline and I meet men all the time but I am not with them long enough to get to know them. I have made the decision to join a professional matching agency that is going to cost me hundreds of pounds. I have already been to a number of their socials but do not meet the right kind of people there.I am really nervous as I am very independent with my own properties, car, houses etc. I am not looking for someone for their money but more for companionship and friendship and I would like to be someones wife and be able to call someone my husband.I was wondering if you could give me some words of advice and encouragement. I really was attracted to the guy I worked with but I feel if he really wanted to find out more about me, he would have done so by now.thank you for your time.

Never settle.
When you go out on the dates:
- don't talk "I want to get married-talk" right of the bat.
- don't talk about the ex's in ad nauseum, they really don't want to know, they want to know you.
- don't get drunk.
- don't have sex on the first date, you can go to the pub and pick up a guy if that is what you want.
- take you time to get to know the guy. If you aren't sure after the first 3-4 dates, he isn't the one.
- don't be afraid if you have to meet more then 1 guy to find a good match.
(I think you are smart by not trying to pursue the guy at work, I think you got it right, that if he was interested, he would have made an effort - remember that when you go out of dates - if he doesn't make an effort to talk to you after a date... assume he isn't interested.)
Be prepared to kiss a few frogs.
