The Single Dad Dating Problem - Mapped out on Facebook

April 8, 2010

Ok people, I am having some serious problems with my current situation. Recently Divorced I mapped out on a spreadsheet using Facebook (yes I know I am a geek).

This was the process, I fired up Open Office took my exactly even 300 friends, and went though all of them. A full 292 of them are in a relationship, Married or otherwise unavailable. Below is a screen shot of the spreadsheet.

So my problem is after 5 years of being married, it completely changes and chance of recovery. When you are married you tend to hang out with other couples (at the expense of your single friends). What makes this worse is your married friends tend to hang out with THEIR married friends, leaving you with an open pool of about 8 people, which out of the 8, only 4 are of the the opposite sex, 3 of them are located over 200 miles away, and the last one doesn’t like you like that.

So there you are… and what makes matters worse, in this case social media doesn’t work because your social network is actually working against you in this case.

Enjoy the new reality.
