Q:

I have been divorced for about seven years. This was my third marriage, but one thing was different; I didn't feel "alone" after he left. Most of my life I have been a "Care Giver." This is the first time I have concentrated on my needs and what I want out of life. My question is: most of my family and friends keep trying to set me up with men.

It's not that I want to spend the rest of my life alone, but I am very picky about who I would want to spend the rest of my life with. Am I wrong for being so picky this late in life? For workng so much?
