Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should be looking for my Mr. Right? The guys I meet at bars just arent the people I should be taking home to mom and dad.

What exactly do you mean by "looking"? Do you mean "where can I go and have the right man approach me"? Nice men are around you all the time, at the coffee shop, bookstore, etc. Try taking some initiative instead of waiting. Yes you will be rejected sometimes. Or you can wait...

I agree that bars are not the best place to meet people. If I were you, I'd try a dating service, or online dating. I have met the nicest, most decent men in dating services. The kind of man who joins a dating service, is typically someone who wants and is ready for a relationship. Of course, there are also JERKS in dating services, and when doing online dating you have to be careful about safety (always meet in a public place, never go somewhere w/someone until you get to know him better, etc.)

In contract, the kinds of men I've met in bars were just there to have a good time w/their friends. They weren't necessarily wanting to meet someone for a relationship.

It might be helpful to actually DEFINE what you would call your Mr. Right.

Religious? Athletic? Businessman? Artsy? Sporty? Studious? Happy as a bartender, or going to school for something different?

Are you looking for a long-term commitment leading to marriage? If so, what's important to you in forming a lasting relationship, and what's husbnad material?

Morals, character, maturity, common interests, looks-body? Smoker? Drinker? Ex-wife and kids? Financially mature?

Define your Mr. Right, and pursue the interests and activities you enjoy, were you might meet like-minded men.

Typically, woman say they want-- "good looking, nice, good sense of humor" - but that can describe any guy for about the first 30 days! Aren't they all, until ya get to know them?

My motto: no man is considered "nice" until he proves it beyond the superficial, no man is trusted with my heart, body or emotions until he earns it-- which takes a good 60-90 days of dating to discover if he's worth it. Patient and true men deserve me.

Good luck.
