Hey I'm a 48 year old male from North Manchester, IN and I'm going through my 3rd divorce. Considering my wife is 16 years younger than me I shouldn't be surprised but I wasn't really expecting to have to go through the dating thing all over again. Where's a good place to start? I don't want to pay for a dating service and this is a small town so I'm kind of at a loss as to what my next step should be or if I should just throw in the towel and spend out my days gaming and watching TV, lol. Anyways thanks in advance for any advice and I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Jason

Many people younger than you have had more than 3 serious relationships fail, so I shouldn't worry to much because it's your third divorce, it's not so unusual. Dating sites are a good place to start looking for a girlfriend if you live in a small town.

Welcome to Mingle2 and good luck in your search.

add several dating sites to your agenda, extend your distance so you can increase the numbers of potentials, realize the average person is the US is also married three times and don't take others advise too seriously here...

After a certain amount of divorces
you will run out of money.

To add to what niceeguy stated, I once met a guy who told me he was in the middle of his 4th divorce. I replied that after the second one, some might say to themselves, "Maybe I'm just not cut out for this marriage thing." Maybe not all of us are, for any and various reasons.

Yeah, forty-eight and three misses. I'd say you have some issues to deal with before you even think about pulling the trigger for the fourth time.

One of my brothers is on his third marriage. I kind of wanted to be the weird guy who didn't "hold my peace" during the second ceremony, but I didn't have any time to get to know the gal before it was all done. The third one looks fairly good, and my brother actually DID learn SOME lessons before diving back in. In fact, they lived together for over a decade, before finally marrying. Still not perfect, of course.

My only suggestions:

* realize there's more than two choices available to you. It's not just "re-re-remarry, or sit at home and fade away."

* don't even THINK about marriage, or even commitment, until you know why you want to have a mate-like entity in your life to begin with. Could be you've been marrying over and over, when what you actually wanted was something else. Some people marry to replace mom. Some to follow a perceived social format, and thereby gain peer approval. Some, just to avoid dating (I know I absolutely HATE dating).

Hey Jason, if you're going through your 3rd divorce, wait and see if you have money left before you think of diving in again. Maybe try skydiving instead.

Good luck

I suggest you try this ??
Warning !..You may have Slight Symptoms of Drowsiness & Insomnia

Humm no one can really answer that but you.... Only difference between your marriages and those that have had 4-5 relationships within the same time is you tend to put a ring on it...

My only advice is take time to find yourself and enjoy life a bit and learn to enjoy time alone... Sometimes that makes things much more clear of what you want with another.. be picky don't jump in so fast with the ring.... if you choose to get married again and it feels right then do it.... only we can live our own lives...

Yes, Jason certainly throw in the towel and concentrate on the T.V., Clearly you suck at marriage so why do it again?

Dude, what the fk are you talkin about

Op... I would do some soul searching first ...
I have found it interesting ... being alone with myself ...
especially as out going as I am ... I say stay on a friendly basis
with the women that may come in your life now... don't rush it ... if you have to have that female company ... chill for awhile ...
but your the one of course ...needs to decide what you want now ...
Hey prince... long time know see...

True

I wouldn't dive back in right away. Jason, according to you, "I'm going through a divorce". It sounds like you are still married, so why not wait til the divorce is final? Take your time to date, do things alone or with friends. You don't have to stay home and watch tv.

I don't know why after 3 marriages your back on the hunt. Brother, it's time to do some real soul searching.

If you like your freedoms and just need companionship, then date respectfully. If your going to court again, be a open book. Respectfully!

If you want a mate for life, then find that girl that's your best friend, knows everything about you, all your secrets and desires. A girl your going to love no matter what life brings. Be her hero, her lover, her best friend and her soulmate.

Don't piss away your time and your life on "what if?" And "I wish". Love is a two way street. It's not to be taken for granted. You want to play games with the emotions of ladies, then you should seek professional advice from a psychiatrist.

nobody is perfect, we all have flaws.

48... and your biggest goal in life is gaming and watching TV..ummm..
Makes you kind of wonder why you've been divorced 3 times....lol..

Nobody likes a quitter..
Been there myself...I'm a poor man now but 4 kids got raised up better because of it. An optimistic outlook is a good start.
