Please give me some advice. Also, any suggestions as to where to meet eligible men would be appreciated. The rules have changed. The reason the man doesn't call you is that he may be preoccupied with other things including himself. Dating is an old word.

Meeting people in Baton Rouge is tough because of the ingroup-outgroup syndrome where outsiders not from here such as myself are subconsciously reminded of that and there are few cultural attractions such as art galleries. For example, one of the major chemical companies whose name I will not reveal routinely hires chemical and engineering graduates from Ivy-League schools and other prestigious universities. When they arrive, they are in a state of shock about the lifestyle and lack of awareness of other considerations such as educational obtainment, diversity, arts, and environmental sensitivity. You can try church. The research on meeting in chat rooms is replete with cases of lonely people masquerading as someone whom they are not.
