Married men are off limits

- ELLIE TESHER Read Ellie Monday to Saturday. ellie@thestar.ca @ellieadvic­e

My dating life has been nonexisten­t for many years due to not meeting men to whom I’d like to give my time. But recently, I’m attracting married men. Why? I don’t know. They just want to sleep with me and return to their wives. What am I doing wrong ? What do I need to change to stop attracting these idiots and attract men whom I’d like to have in my life?

Fed Up

Stop sleeping with married men. If you’re dating online, be clear in your profile: no married men. If, when you meet in person, you suspect the man is married, say so, and leave.

Stop being flattered when they still want you. You’re just a diversion — that’s no compliment.

For a more positive approach, think about what kind of men you’d like to attract. Go places where you might meet available men (and also meet women who know available men).

What places? Start with your own interests — for example, through a meetup.com group, a volunteer organizati­on or a sport activity.
