Hello all you fabulous ladies. I come to you all seeking guidance and advice. Back in February my husband and I decided to split. I've gotten over the initial heartache through the help of this community because it helped me see that even though I had my faults, he really wasn't that great of a husband either. Those rose-colored glasses have been chucked into the garbage bin.

I luckily had a friend who had just bought a house that was in need of a roommate. It was kind of perfect timing, so I moved in with her. The divorce isn't stalling any of my long term plans, so I'm still working my way to financial independence and home ownership. However, I am now an hour away from the closest city. The outer reaches of the suburbs are a bit closer, but even then it's a 40 minute drive. Don't get me wrong, I am actually liking living in the country. It's peaceful and my roommate and I are both on the same wavelength in that we want to be those crazy ladies that everyone thinks are witches.

My question is this: for any of you who similarly live outside of major metropolitan areas, how do you meet guys and date? I'm hesitant to dip my toes in the local dating pool because, and I hate to stereotype, people in rural areas tend to be a little backwards. And I'm also not too enthusiastic about commuting just for dating. Is it still possible to find men worth a damn out in the middle of the sticks or is it a lost cause?
