Married OTers...If you were suddenly single, how would you re-enter the "game"?

For the moment, ignore HOW you got to that position (obviously, ones response to divorce would be different from ones response to the death of a spouse). Just imagine that however you became single, you have adjusted and are ready to get back in the game...how would you?

Friends fix you up?
Bar scene?
Online dating (match.com, blackpeoplemeet.com, etc.)?
Other?

Not that I plan to/intend to, but I've been out for so long (married over 22 years) I can't even fathom getting back in.

I would go to hospitals a lot and try to find a single doctor. Marry for love the first time, money the second time.

i would stay the frick out of bars. Of course I am 40. If you were divorced in your 20's it's ok i guess.

not married, but if I were single, it'd be the bar scene. I'm only a year removed from college, so I can still hit up Tigerland, Bogie's, The Bulldog, and Radio Bar at will.

I would just enjoy being away from a woman for a while, if I had been with the same one for 22 years. Let whatever happens happen. You'll occasionally get some hook ups through some friends of friends, but I would try to keep them as just hookups and nothing serious. I would stay away from the online stuff. Too many nut jobs with std's galore.

I would just travel the world. No need to rush back in to the "game".

I would offer hot college girls $1,000 to frick me for a night.

It would be a drama-free period of life.

It's a question born of observation.

When I was dating and met my now wife, there were a lot more social interaction opportunities where you actually interacted. Sure, there were "fix ups" or "blind dates" with friends of friends (or, hell, even daughters of friends of parents), perhaps co-workers, bar-pickups, etc., but as was pointed out, the game has changed so much.
