Welcome Michael, it's tough meeting people period. There is a dating site here or the usual online dating sites. I don't have a license at the moment so I'm not active but on your profile list you don't drink. That's what I had. Best of luck

I was on Match and never met a crazy. I did date a nice woman from there but it just didn't work.

Hi Michael, welcome! It is very hard getting back into the dating world, especiallyt now with some things still not open due to covid. I suggest joining a gym or yoga classes to meet someone. Do you have any hobbies? Join a club that involves something you are passionate about. Then you will meet like minded people. I have been on the dating sites. Personally, I find them frustrating, ego smashing, time consuming..... I did eventually meet someone, but it took 16 months. There are so many scammers and fake profiles that you need to be wise to also, if you decide to take that route.
Best of luck to you, especially with working on your relationships with your sons. I had to do the same with my daughter. Inch by inch we are getting better, by the grace of God.

Hi Kathy,
Sorry for the delayed response work has been very busy which is a good thing. Being a Chef in a hospital is challenging. I totally agree with you especially with these apps. They do list sober dating apps in my Google play store but I believe it is all a hoax. I have been interested in yoga and mediation cause I have heard that helps...Appreciate the advice. Have a nice holiday
