I'm a single 30 year old girl living in Sydney and can't seem to meet the right man! They all promise the world and deliver nothing...
Any suggestions?

well I was a bit older single and with kids, so going out was not an option. Not easily unless their father had them. Nor was inviting men over to my house when we all know stalkers exist and our luck is they would be the one we contact.

SO I join an online dating site and I set myself a few rules first before I even met these guys.

I wrote who I was, what I expected my life style to be and what I expected to find would suit me and my life. This I refused to compromise on as if I did I would find out that any relationship was doomed to fail. When looking at their profile I needed them to match if not mirror mine.
Eg dont look for a guy who likes to go out clubbing, if you have no interest in it at all, other wise you will find it will be a big issue in the future. But someone who loves chatting over coffee means we can have long conversations.

When meeting for the first time I would do so in a public place, where I didnt go to often eg a different shopping centre and met at a coffee place.
I also would have a friend ring if I was concerned and wanted a way out of the coffee date.

I found I got many friends this way as we had little in common but I also found my husband and we literally been close from day one, as his and my ideals have been nearly identical.
