Hi all mentors
I am a 57 year old woman, divorced and living a full and interesting life except for the lack of a close loving relationship. I realize I am far from alone in this situation and there are many people with far worse problems. However I would love to hear from other women and men who may be facing the same issue or have previously been there. I have many friends, mostly female, and close relationships with my adult kids.
I have made mistakes and bad judgements and been hurt by a few dishonest and insensitive men. I have tried Internet dating sites, a professional introduction agency , and the oft recommended ''join a bush walking club''! Any ideas really welcome, mentors !

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
