POLL: Widower woes

Friday, December 12, 2008 - 12:00 AM

A reader writes... Q: I am a widower and a parent of two wonderful children who lost my wife almost four years ago. I have been trying to get out socially and date, but it seems harder now than it ever was before. I was fortunate to find true love before and I believe that I can find it again, but many women hear of my situation and run the other way. Some are so insecure they can't handle the fact that I was married before. They feel like they are being compared to a ghost. Others want to be the only woman in my life. I think it is a little unreasonable for them to expect me to never mention my late wife in conversation.
POLL: This guy's problem seems to be...
 
28% (307) ... he's not *really* ready to date yet.
 
71% (767) ... he hasn't dated the right women.
1074 people have voted in this poll. (This poll is not active.)
