How can he be with someone else already?

27. Ouch! Man, that sucks.

You have my sympathies. It's perfectly okay to take some time off. I can only tell you that my personal experience on OK Cupid ended well. I was on/off/on/off for two years there until last September when I met the right girl. I'm 47 and she's a 19 year old acrobat. Ha ha, just kidding. We're both in our 40s. But we only found each other right when she'd given up on finding the right person--I was literally the last shot she was gonna give OKC. Of all the free sites it's the best (tho some people swear by Plenty of Fish. I don't cause the name also can be read "Plenty Offish". But it seems less fun to me.

It's okay to be selective and to ignore people way too old for you. It's also a GREAT idea to block out and ignore anyone who you used to be involved with. It's not a race to see who lands someone first. It's your chance to mingle and see who all might be out there. And be forgiving toward yourself. A lot of people are really hard on themselves when they don't get success on a dating site.
