I'm going through one of my spells where I don't think it is going to happen for me again. Next week I will probably have an up attitude about it again. Keep the faith!!

I am new to this and trying to find my way again as a single. Lots of "matches " but nothing more. Boy, alot has changed in the dating world!
I am looking at this new dating scene for myself not as a way to find a new partner but auditions and interviews..takes alot of the pressure off.

Best place to audition is right here on the forums. Just be yourself and post often. Get to know those who come here each evening and enjoy the company.

Welcome.

Yes the dating world sure has changed. I don't like it. Just weeding through it. Like you I can enjoy myself now and have a life. And I think that can compliment the next person I'm with. Been single 4 years.

I am a little disappointed that the contacts that I have had seem to be scammers..I had hoped to avoid those types but I guess they are everywhere.
Why do people have to be so demented? And what purpose does it serve?

Snowed in in Ontario! You weren't kidding about dateing after 50 being tough. I feel stuck.I am interested in a gentleman but have no idea how to approch him.We met through friends and I don't want to make a big deal by asking them about his situation any ideas?

Carolann, be your self.
Try for friends first & see where you both want to go.
After a few months, if he is still being vague, just be upfront & ask him what he is looking for.
I think, many people at our age are gun shy, been burnt a few times & just are very careful about what they do.
Get to know eachother & go from there.
Tell him that.

Yes, they seem to be everywhere. I am not sure what they get out of it, but you really have to be careful. The friends I have met here are a lot more fun than any dates I have had recently!

Thanks sage, good to see you!My problem is lack patience when it comes to dating.I am always in a hurry ,meet,date,find out how they feel.But I will take your advice and see how it goes.

"Haste makes waste"

so they say.

Anything REALLY good takes time to make.

I have to agree with that statement.

At the age of 57, never been married or
had children, yes its scary to post a
profile on here or on any dating sites.
I realize if i dont take chances
I'll never know if hes out there or not.
I've talked to a few men, nothing serious.
