I don't feel that as each year passes by,,that I have a BETTER chance at finding,,BUT,,I do as each year passes by,,feel that one who is really for me to find,,,will find me,,and IF,,I live only to DIE TRYING TO FIND,,,so be it,,,For alone and w/o another heart to hear beating beside mine as I sleep,,is a punishment unfit for living long...

Hummmm was not looking when I found the one I just did. And if it happens it does not last, my age has nothing to do with whether I will date again or not.. SHshhshsh as long as I can still see I will keep on looking... ![]() I think I'd get bored long before I felt too old to date A big Amen to that one......... hell if they screw up, the way I look at it I will start looking again.... ![]() |

I've given up on dating ... I've had relationships and I like my life as a single. I'd rather just have friends to hang out with.

I’m not closing the door on meeting someone. I just wouldn't be spending any more of my life looking for him.

Lately for me it has gotten to the point of define relationship. I mean they are not sexual or anything but I am becoming like the designated sober person. I am supposed to help to keep this nurse who dropped me off me off at my house to not get too wasted. Last night this female resident told me I was a nice lady so I told her that she was a nice gentleman. Sometimes it is hard me to switch from talking to the crazies and back to talking to the sane ones again. But you know to me a date is a date. Who am I to get so picky. It is not like I am married or anything like that.

It was a wonderful date. Her seven year old son liked me and her six old daughter asked her mother if they could take me home to see her guinea pig. Wow. That was nice. She said she would like a male image in her son's life because he is turning into a pansy and she is like this tomboy type person. She was like dating one of the guys. She wants her son to be more back to nature and not worry so much about money. After the Turkey Trot festival parade we went swimming and the water like really cold I thought. Her son was still shivering after she dropped me off at home. The swim really made a difference in the two kids' behavior and became less aggressive to each other. I really had fun at a parade. It was so deliciously unselfish of me. Who knew I could enjoy such a time with children no less. Hmm. Quite an experience. I might have to try dating again some time.

I think it is polite to respond to comments that people have made on threads that I’ve started so my response is as follow…I don’t know if this is a random rambling - similar to the ones that I tend to make on here - or another dig. If it is a dig, job done. I’ve taken the bait Mr Trout.
If my use of unfamiliar vernacular or (in some people's eyes), my assumed b@rstardisation of the English language causes offense...frankly my dears, I don’t really give a damn. However I am offering an apology if your comment(s) were genuine - I'm premens and overly sensitive today. |

I would stop now,, to be honest. My life doesnt depend on it one way or the other.

I would stop now,, to be honest. My life doesnt depend on it one way or the other. I envy you in that case. Although my life doesn't depend on it, it has been taking up a lot of my time over the years. One of the reasons why I posted this thread was because of an increasing feeling that I have been having lately. I feel like I've been so focussed on the 'hunt' (and my terminology probably isn't helping my mindset ![]() |

right, I get ya I think I look for 'friends' now, the 'dating' isnt really a goal of mine anymore,,,although Im not opposed to it if it should dvelop from a friendship As I have stated in an earlier post. I have a mental cut off age whereby dating won't be a goal of mine either. Like yourself, I also wouldn't be opposed to a long term relationship that develops as the result of friendship. |

Maybe it's the head burning thing that you've got going on boon but I would have never have guessed that you're 61 ![]() Can I ask you a question? Is finding love no longer an option because of a lack of success at finding a long term partner? Or are/were you worn out with the effort? |

If we're really looking at the age question, then, in retrospect, I think I'd have been better off to give up when I was 6.
At some point, I realized that there's a sort of cost/benefit analysis going on here. And I realized that I was spending way too much time looking for someone, despite the fact I was completely unable to find anyone (a.) compatible, (b.) local, and/or (c.) someone I was attracted to, on whatever level. I mean, I'm not out hunting for the Yeti or a unicorn or Martian elves. And I certainly don't spend a lot of time lamenting that fact. As it seems compatible/local/attractive women show up slightly less often than the Yeti, etc., it just doesn't make much sense to continue the search.... |

I have also been unable to find anyone that is (a.) compatible, (b.) local, and (c.) someone I am attracted to, on whatever level. For the next few days at least, I am hormonally driven to examine whether I set an end date or keep on going - never expect to totally sound rationale in the thought processing of a hormonal woman ![]() |

However I am offering an apology if your comment(s) were genuine - I'm premens and overly sensitive today. My comments were genuine. "Gone With The Wind", Rhett Butler. I love it. I really love your analogy, in regards, to the topic. Great bridging. When you think about it "Bastardization" of the English language is quite common where I live. I would even say that we murder it here. ![]() (b) Local. Damn, I already outlining. ![]() ![]() ![]() (c) Attracted to. Yeah, that is definitely a biggie. I found that we had a lot in common and was surprised. I mean when 'they' do most of the talking 'you' really find out. There is really no guessing to it. I just really wonder if the 'date' was more of a smoke screen and if she really liked me. But I really think that she did because she opened up to me where she is usually guarded to me because of the supervisor/worker relationship. I would really like to be a fly on the wall when it comes to those nurses meetings. We have no aides meetings. Another thing she mentioned was that she needed a good baby sitter. I am wondering if she was grooming me for that. ![]() Yeah, give me a small subject topic and I could write an encyclopedia on it. ![]() |

I would never give up dating as long as there is someone to date.
