I don't understand your question.  Are you trying to hire a lawyer or date one?\n\nLike doctors, most lawyers need to specialize in a certain area of practice.  Law is very complex, so there are very few general practitioners that can competently handle the entire range of matters that you might encounter.

First, stop looking for potential husbands.  Nothing is scarier then desperation, especially that desperation to settle down.  Good relationships need to grow organically.  If it leads to marriage, great, but if you only want marriage, then you're going to have trouble finding anyone who is going to march to your drum and yours only.\n\nFirst, where do you hang out?  Do you go out?  If not, start.  Find a book club or knitting club or bowling club or something.  You can't meet anyone sitting on your couch. \n\nYou might want to try looking at your church (do they have a singles group?) but don't limit yourself.\n\nYou can always try online dating.  Its a mixed bag though, you never know if you're going to meet someone brilliant or someone legally insane.  \n\nAsk people you work with if they know any single guys that might gel with you.  The best way to meet anyone is through mutual friends.

It may sound crazy and desperate but try www.match.com.  After many failed relationships I tried it and I met my fiance on there. You can read profiles and find out so much about guys before you even meet them.

It's known that when someone is looking for a relationship, they will never find it. Maybe that is why I am still single...Hmmmm....

The best advice I've heard is to be introduced to someone that friends or family know, in your area.  A safe place to look?  Your school, a dance, a football game, any sports activities.  Even grocery shopping can be a place to meet someone!  Usually, love will find you, you don't have to go out looking for it! You may have heard this, but it really works.  Happiness to you!!

You sound really nice.  Why don't you go and try to meet people in person?  Try a dating service... Internet personals can be a little scary , although I know a few couples that met on match.com and are now married!  There are some places out there that will meet you, and try to set you up with someone, in person.  It's a more personal introduction then just typing away...\n\nI'm sure you will find the right lady.  I just don't think it's here... no one knows anything about you... But what we do know is that you seem loving and in need of a relationship where you can share yourself with someone else. \n\nYou will find what you are looking for, just start looking in the right places.\n\nGood Luck.

Everyone has their preferences, your not alone. But at some point we've all turned away from them, I'm sure you will as well. I would suggest trying on-line services, andI hope you meet a fine woman.

looking for a relationship online is not a good thing. i know that there are people out there that is has worked for, but finding someone over the internet that is honest and does not have some kind of agenda is very rare.  and it is very hard to get to know someone over the internet.  and you also do not have to do the club scene to find someone. there is a person out there for everyone.  just do things that you enjoy doing.  if you enjoy the movies or concerts or whatever, just do them. interact with people of the opposite sex that enjoys doing the same things that you do.  you don't have to fall madly in love with someone, form a friendship first. some of the greatest relationships started out as friends.  and it will be easier to approach people if you are shy if you approach them with the idea that you want to be friends and not wanting a relationship.

yeah. When I was living in NYC I couldn't meet ANYONE and used MATCH.com. No long term relationships came out of it but I went on lots of fun dates :) That was 5 years ago though. Recently I have had friends meet people...one had a successful relationship. Other friends have had success with e-harmony, and yahoo personals too...hey it's free to look, right?

Unfortunately your best option then is probably the internet.  It is can be a wonderful place to find someone but you have to fight your way through all the idiots out there to find the few people that are real.  Beyond that, try and get out more often if possible.  Just going to events around town or taking a class on some hobby that interests you will help in your search.
