Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
One 'problem' the OP may run into trying to find the right women is this:
Many women don't seem to know how to flirt or indicate that they are receptive to a man's continued interest and advances. Is this a casulty of some extreme form of Feminism? While in theory women can be the assertive one and ask men out, the reality is that 99% of the time it is still the man's job to make the first formal request even if it's just "Let's meet for a glass of wine and talk". A guy needs some encouragement, right?
I have noticed this repeatedly. Men show an interest in a woman. They ask about her work, they show an interest in her interests, they even listen to her talk on and on about her pets. But, the woman, other than answering the question, never responds with anything showing interest in the man. Of course, she may not be interested for a variety of reasons. But, IMHO, it is happening all to often to a lot of good men. ( GULP! Let the war between the sexes continue!)
Let's assume that a group of six to eight friends have met for happy hour. As the group chats with each other Joe takes an interest in Sandra.
Man: What is it about that Rascalian display at the art museum you enjoy?
Woman: Rascalian has has a nice way of using colors.
Man ( little later): Have you biked the new trail that opened up last week?
Woman: Yes, I went with friends.
Man (a little later): How many grandchildren do you have.
Woman: three.
Man ( a little later): This is great soup weather. Do you have a favorite recipe for soup?
Woman: Yes, I got it from my grandma.
Notice, that she never tries to engage the man as in:
"Yes, I got the recipe from my grandma. It's delicious and easy to make. Would you like a copy? What kind of soups do you make?
If she is not interested, she is doing a great job of indicating that, but, IMHO, this also happens to women who later complain to their girl friends - "Great guys like Joe never ask me out".
Or, maybe, I am just an insensitive Jughead
