Dear Breakup Girl,
I had been going out with a recently divorced lady with three kids under the
age of 12. Long story short, kids love me, she said she did, but never really
gave me the attention, and recently told me adios. I am broken totally. I had
hoped for the future. I'm 43, work 2 AM - 9:30 AM Monday-Friday. My prospects
are nil. I feel totally lost. I just don't know how to get going again. I am
not a bar guy, and am not real aggressive in "hitting on" women. I
like myself, think I'm a great catch. I like having a partner; 'tis what helps
make life more fun. Give me a road map, if you can. Just some advice that I
can really use.
-- Peter
Dear Peter,
Okay, here's some. Start a social group in your
community called "People with Weird Schedules and The People Who Love
Them." Breakup Girl is quite serious. There have to be people out there in
the same predicament who are dying to attend an event like an "'E.R.'
Pancake Breakfast." Advertise in the paper, at the grocery store, on the
Web. And keep at it: I just read something about a social group for tall people
in NYC whose first meeting had about six people -- now they have to rent
convention halls. Good luck!
Love,
Breakup Girl
