B-Rant- submitted by tinafromphilly on 02/19/2007Single In The Burbs -- Argh!!Help!! Divorced (happily), a couple beautiful young kids, and I'm going to dating mixers on Saturday night at the mall! There must be a better way to meet people in the suburbs. I'm outside Philly, the kids love it, we're settled. But the bar scene, it's likeĀ a midwestern actuarial convention. Lots of great realtors too. I went to a singles group at the senior center -- for young people. I was the youngest by 15 years. What do people do? We've been out here for 5 years. All my friends here are still married or couples. I've been on blind dates. I wish I were blind on most of them. I'd move back to the city, but my kids are so happy, the schools are great, seems selfish. Also their dad is still in the area. Guess I gotta suck it up. That's what people are telling me. Has to be a better solution. ...read more rants hey, what's wrong with - submitted by geezer on 02/19/2007
