Discussion: I am a 50-plus-year-old divorcee and have been trying to meet a man through dating sites for several years without success! Why only in movies does everything work wonderfully?

The adults among us usually met their spouses face to face. The initial click generated is of immense importance, but dating has largely moved online in the modern era (for various reasons). It will help if you internalize that failure is not the opposite of success but part of success. If you persevere and give the impression that you are emotionally available, "the knight on the white horse" will eventually appear, perhaps similar to what you saw in the movies.
