And I see why people become... what's the word I'm looking for... saturated? Burned out? Numbed by the sheer numbers of people, and trying to make connections with them... Yes, the new contacts have dried up to a nothing. I'm not sure anyone is even reading. Am I giving TMI?
I heard a story on This American Life around Valentine's day (VD) that was EXTREMELY pessimistic about the chances for ANYONE to find someone as a love interest / life-partner. Physicists (fellow Mensan's) applied the same mathematical formulas used to find planets in far away solar systems to their love lives. I applied the same technique to myself, and came up with 5-50 possible matches out of 3.5 million. When I mentioned it to others who could help double-check my math, they told me I was being WAAAY to picky. I guess they're right. We'll see. I still prefer to meet people in person - although I don't really like the 'bar scene'.

Try not to be too discouraged, M. It seems to me that the trick to getting what you want is not to want it. Existential? Perhaps.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm sticking with it for now, but I'm at the 'two week wall' - like the proverbial 'wall' runners hit where their energy is gone... about 2/3's of a way into a marathon...
