Coffey Talk, with Relationship Expert Lissa Coffey

“Hi, I am 48 years young and recently divorced after 18 years. I have no idea where to find nice fellows. I go to the gym and there are lots of pretty shaped girls there. Men do not talk to me. I am shy and a little over weight. They can't get past that. I am also trying the web too. I have been dumped because of no photo. I am always looking in places such as grocery stores. I am also looking for a job. I have only worked part-time and am a Mom. But my teenager went with my Ex. I am the weekend parent. I am a very nice person.”
Dear Recently Divorced,
First of all, smile! Then get your photo taken and post it online with your profile. Have you seen some of the men up on the web? Many of them could be described as shy and a little overweight. What's great about meeting people online is that you can e-mail back and forth and break the ice that way. You have time to think about what you want to say, and how you want to present yourself. You'll be happily surprised at the responses you get. The other thing you can do is to join some social groups. “Parents without Partners” is one, and you'll meet some women friends to hang out with there, too. Take a class, go walking around the neighborhood. And keep smiling! When you smile you're much more approachable. And listen. You don't have to say much, just ask a few questions and get your new friends talking. Soon you'll relax and your shyness will fade away
Love,
Lissa
