Dear Tony,

I am a 36 year old, single mom of two who, like many others in my predicament, would like to be married someday. I am open to dating but don't do it often because the men I meet, although otherwise decent, are "liars." Maybe not BIG lies like being married or having a girlfriend, but little things like blowing off dates, or not calling when they say they will. To some, these things may sound trivial, but I feel that a man should stand by his word. I find myself breaking off attachments before they can really develop. My last relationship barely lasted two weeks. The way I figure if he's messing up already, why stick around? But how will I ever find love if I'm so quick to move on? Do you think I could stand to be more patient? Or should I keep passing them up until I find a man who keeps his word?
