Still haven't gotten a match yet.

I'm in a weird spot. It's been several months, and I still don't have a match. Every time I check in, I'm told that there aren't any Littles available (which is interesting considering that I've heard it's usually the other way around, with statistically low male Bigs that volunteer).

I've done everything I can think of, from checking in often, to expanding my distance (the limit is 45 minutes away), to opening up my preference list and schedule.

I understand that I'm in a location where the demogaphic are primarily older folks, and maybe the kids here don't need mentors, but realistically 45 minutes to me is a long drive that should come up with at least one potential.

I don't know, I guess part of me is just a little depressed. This is the one thing I've always wanted to do. I've have opportunities to attend all kinds of events, and I've chosen not to go because my hope was that I'd be able to go with a little of my own by the time they come around, but it's just not happening.

I just wish that there was a way that I could reach out to parents and try to appeal to them as a possible mentor for their child.
