I'm a writer who's been living in LA for three years now. I am very happy with my professional life, which is consumed by writing, but I haven't developed any kind of social life. When I was with my wife we had many friends, but now I have very few, and haven't had a single date in over five years. I would like to know if it really is possible to meet women through online dating. Could you give me some advice as to how to go about doing this? I would like to have sex, romance, or even marriage in my life again.

I recently incurred some unexpected bills and thus have significantly increased my credit card debt, is it a good idea to withdraw from my 401(k) to pay them off?
