As some of you know, I started the Find Tish a Boyfriend blog back in 2005. I have recently brought it out of retirement and will be posting there on a regular basis again.
I have been single for a number of years, with a few scattered relationships here and there. I have learned a lot - mainly that I am very capable of living alone and taking care of myself, but that I’m much happier with someone special in my life.
I miss having someone special.

I know you do sweetie. We will find you a Mr. Wonderful of your very own. Just be patient…he’s probably got his own Find Mr. Wonderful A Girlfriend blog…lol I’m romantic like that.

He is out there. Just have a little patience and the next thing you know he will be knocking on your door with chocolate and flowers!
Make a nice day!

He’ll be there for you some day. It took Lori over 20 years until she found me. All she had to do was stalked me for a few months until i staked her out. Then i was hooked. So don’t get discouraged too much.
We still talk about you and your MySpace blog as the reason we met. Remember?

Ah, I found myself in that position - in Knoxville - exactly 10 years ago! I was emerging from a first marriage, knew I wanted to start over and find a woman who could put up with my eccentricities. I also knew that as a university professor, I was NOT going to find my ideal Ms. Right in one of Knoxville’s bars or a “juke joint” on Old Maryville Pike. I took a chance and went online . . . found “Christian Connection” (which I think at the time was associated with Match(dot)com) and put up a profile. Mind you, I didn’t want to find some “perfect little Baptist housewife” or supporter of “Promise Keepers” in the process. My background - despite a Southern Baptist childhood - is liberal Episcopalian. So naturally I was looking for an equally liberal, intelligent woman. And I found her. So you might check that route.
I’m sure it’s tough in Knoxville, though. How do you weed out the “wife-beater”-wearing rednecks and the “women should stay home barefoot and pregnant” loonies? Hmmmm, bookstores? The art museum? Weigels? (Just kidding!) Krystal? (Just kidding again, but I do miss them occasionally!)
I guess it all depends on how overtly flirty you are in public. Do you find it easy to chat up interesting looking strangers?

I fully understand, Tish. I think all of us are capable of living alone, but few of us are meant to remain that way. Everyone needs love.
