I was divorced and was on the "I'm going to be single for at least 5 years before I do this again" plan. I had a "wish list" of qualities I was looking for in a guy. He had all those qualities, was older, settled in his career, and had never been married. I lasted a whole year and a half as a single gal. We have a great son, and been going strong for nearly 34 years and counting!
