Woman Seeking Man in New York - No More Long-Distance Relationships

I'm Jessica, 38 years old. It's slowly becoming time for me to think about starting a family. SHE is seeking HIM in New York.
I've lived in Brooklyn for 20 years now. At 18, I set out for New York to begin an apprenticeship as a seamstress. Today I run a successful little atelier in the city. I've made a real name for myself here.
After ten years of a long-distance relationship, I am truly fed up. I was with Tom for ten years. He lives in Philadelphia, and neither of us wanted to give up our home. He works as a carpenter in his parents' family business. A dilemma, really, and yet not. Love apparently didn't win. I broke up three months ago. The only thing I know for sure now is that I want a New Yorker. So I'm going on the hunt: "Woman seeking man in New York".

The World Wide Web will definitely bring him to me! My friend is sure that my project "Woman seeking man in New York" will work 100%. Because, in her words: "Which man wouldn't jump at the chance to be with you?!"
Woman seeking man in New York, crowned with success
I know exactly what I want for my project "Woman seeking man in New York". I've always been determined, and in the end Tom just stopped taking me seriously. He was so sure I'd be back on his doorstep within two weeks. I also don't want a Capricorn man anymore. For me, a Pisces woman, a Cancer man would be ideal. But I don't want to narrow down my plan "Woman seeking man in New York" publicly.
What he should be like:
- a New Yorker
- tall
- muscular
- athletic
- clever
- and settled
After I signed up on a dating site and happily tossed the first few messages in the trash, eight men between the ages of 35 and 47 actually came into consideration. I met them one after another, and three made the shortlist.

Who would have thought it! Woman seeking man in New York
In the end, it was Andrew who stayed. Andrew is an engineer, 40 years old, has no kids, and got divorced three years ago. Like me, he wants to start a family, and he lives in Queens. He wants to build a house now and is looking for a woman who shares the same interests and goals. It clicked right away. After a few dates, we were sure I could check off my project "Woman seeking man in New York" as a success.
I'm very happy and we're already looking at plots of land. We see each other at least four times a week and it's wonderful. Tom never got in touch again!
