Dude, sorry about your situation. You have been seperated long enough. Get back up on that horse, go out with multiple girls, don't tie yourself down right away. Have some fun, girls will almost go on any type of date you want especially if it is different. Watch two and 1/2 Men determine if you are Charlie or Alan. Then go from there, sounds like you might be on the Alan side, not bad just a starting point.

Best places to meet women, grocery stores and gas stations.
I have met all of my wives at these locations, looking for the next!!!! Game is all about confidence, you have it, you got it!!!

My favorite pick up line at a gas station, ma'am(women hate being called ma'am by men their own age) can I clean your windows for a dollar? She should chuckle a little, just start cleaning them. Then when you are done, just be honest and say hey keep the dollar I just wanted to get to know you!!!(with a nice smile). ! My name is Joe, assuming WULaw is not your real name and shake her hand like a man, no girly shakes. If you don't get a handshake back and 8/10 conversations, then we need to talk.

The key thing here is it does not matter what she looks like just do it, do it the next ten times your at the gas station, even if you are not serious, it will give you the confidence you need for the girl you really want to go out with. Practice makes perfect, plus it is kinda fun. Being 30, just be sure she is not a teenager, they tend to call the cops pretty quickly!!!!
Be careful of the married ones, they will talk to you for hours at the gas station.

I hope you at least got a laugh out of it and yes the world will end one day but it is not today!!!

Having great game is all about knowing who you are. There are people that are great bs artists and sure they got game, but it is hardly sincere.

The advice on here is great. Take time to really get to know yourself and what you like to do. You will meet the women you should meet doing things that make you happy. It took me about 10 years out of school to feel good about myself. I can talk to just about anybody now, and if they aren't interested in talking to me, I don't take it personally. It has become so easy to read people anymore. Unfortunately I don't have that much advice for being divorced. Married for 17 years now and very happy.
 
Another way I can suggest to meet people is to get involved in local theater. I know, I know ... you're thinking about the "theater dorks" from high school, the misfits that gravitated toward theater because it gave them an indentity. But some of the best friends I have in the world are people I met when I started volunteering at our local theater. And they're not all dorks!

You don't even have to be an "on-stage" type of person. Every production needs people who can wield a hammer, even if not very well, to build sets, and they need people who can paint, help find props, etc. Being on the running crew, which means you are involved in changing the sets during actual performances, is a lot of fun, as are working the light board and the sound board. And the best makeup person I ever worked with was a straight man -- a friend of mine dated him for several months.

Plus it's gratifying to be part of a successful production. Just watching the performance and thinking, "I helped do this," is great.

Plus, as a member of the crew, you get to go to all the parties!
 
Sorry for your divorce. I got divorced in December (final in January) after 25 years and mine too drug out for 8 months.

But, I got to where I could not stand living with the woman, so I moved out, have a live-in GF, and I am very happy now! I've come to realize that I didn't really ever love her and now can't figure out first why I married her and second, why did I stay married so long. What a sap I was looking back. I miss my 17 year old son and the dog, but not all the other unpleasantries.

I like being free now, but paying that spousal support was like feeding hay to dead horse!

I found out that I'm transferring to Austin this summer so everything is looking up!

Good luck, things change for the better.
 
You can also officially schedule your mid-life crisis and go back to school. Enroll in grad school and improve your mind, or just learn something new. Or you could take some photography classes at community college, or fun Texas Union informal classes in country dancing, yoga, small business topics, or any number of other pursuits. I always like learning something new. Learn about Buddism, or music history, or western art.
 
Wulaw,
Finishing up a divorce myself. I too won't offer advice other than to say: hang in there, it will get better.
 
Wulaw,

Very sorry to hear you went through the "big D". I've been married a little over 6 years and while we're doing alright, I'm under no illusions that it could never happen to us, too.

I'm both serious and tongue-in-cheek when I say to listen to and enjoy some good country tunes. Not sure about any of the new stuff, but a lot of the circa 1985-2000 material is great. Two of the lighter songs that come to mind...
* George Strait - All My Ex's Live In Texas
* Joe Diffie - Pickup Man

And obviously, there are plenty of heavier songs as well. No music genre tells sad stories quite like country. And I say that as someone who never liked country music until I was in college and "had to" listen to it when I shared a room with some fellow fraternity pledges. The two guys that I roomed with left the stereo on (with the volume turned down real low) all night long, tuned to a country station. I remember lying in bed the first night, trying to go to sleep and thinking "oh no, not country music"; but then when I started listening to it a little closer (it may have been a song by Reba), I realized that she not only sang "real purdy" but that there was a sad truth to her story, and that's the night I turned the corner on country. Of course, I don't know hardly any of the new country artists these days, but some tried-and-true George Strait, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, Patty Loveless and Martina McBride (among many others) should have some tunes that can help.

Best,
BOB
 
The country suggestion is funny, b/c that's basically all I listen to, but the song I listen to now a lot is by Destiny's Child (survivor). It's funny that I have non-country fans suggesting that, while I as a country fan have gone to something, well, far away from country.

Real positive and uplifting breakup song, I like it.
 
Man, I wish you the best. Have no idea what I would have done after my divorce had I not been late 30s with good looks, most of my curly blond hair, a flat belly, lots of money, incredible ******** and a sexual appetite that could quench any three women at any given time. It's been very easy, and I'm having the time of my life.

But doesn't sound like that's your bag, so good luck.
