Online Dating For Seniors

Apple, the trouble with weeding them out is that it never ended! It was like fighting crabgrass...pull up a clump and another one sprouted. You'd think that in a city this size, there'd be more to choose from. Might be because the good old dudes are either taken or dead already.
 

Georgia, yeah, a good friend who has a lot going for herself (attractive, financially secure, sane :), fun) said she tried it and got tired of when after a reasonable time guys would say they were too busy to meet for coffee. Then they would drift away. She said “if they’re that busy then they shouldn’t be on a dating site.” I agreed.
 
Any of you who have ventured into the dating world as mature adults meet any of those wishing to get married after one date? Yeah, I met that type as well. I swear the man was ready to go out to select a china pattern after one stinking date! Let me add that I had my thoughts explicitly clear on remarriage: NO!!! Marriage is great for those who want it but after eating my own wedding cake twice I daresay I feel that three times is a charm. It just isn't for me. At this point in my life, I think it would be a huge challenge for me to even cohabit with a man. I like my space. I like my independence.

Jujube: Mr. Delusional was the CEO and founding member of delusion. He considered himself to be an expert and authority on every subject matter under the sun, thought he was handsome extraordinaire. While I am no Einstein there are a couple of things that I do have knowledge on and when I looked at him cockeyed when he was going on about the history of one topic he then became even more delusional. I am certainly not going into modeling tomorrow but I don't feel that I am so hideous that I scare small children and pregnant ladies when I go out into the light day, but this guy was not even average yet he really and truly saw himself as Brad Pitt even with his beer belly, comb over and less than desirable dental hygiene. It would have helped had he posted CURRENT pictures of himself on his profile instead of pictures from 10-15 years prior. It wasn't that I am so into vanity that I cannot accept others based solely on looks, but it was the fact that he lied! That was when I was very new to online dating. Suffice to say, I learned greatly from that experience. PS: He called for a second date. LOL
 

Don't be bitter, reconsider. The real Prince Charming could be just a keystroke away...

Not sure if that was meant for me but I am certainly not bitter. In fact, I found online dating to be rather comical. On the other hand, I have far too many other things in life to do than to weed through countless potential others to date. It is a fact that we do tend to get stuck in our ways the older we get and I am there as far as marriage and/or living with someone. Dating, sure, but certainly not marriage! Too, I would rather meet someone the old-fashioned way as in real life. The problem with online dating is that we can be anyone we choose to be and unless we spend a lot of time together then we will never know the other. And do we ever really know someone even after years and years together? On some level we might know the nuances of another but there could also be things that are deep within the other we will never know and perhaps we shouldn't know. So, bitter I am so not. I did put caution into play, however, and after awhile I just refrained altogether from online dating. While it works for many others, it just doesn't work for me.

Oh, yes. One guy asked me to marry him on the third date. I told him I wasn't interested in being the seventh (yes, seventh) Mrs. ________. He was a nice guy but I think he just couldn't survive unmarried for some reason. We wouldn't have had a third date, but it took that long for me to hear about the additional five Mrs. ______'s that I didn't know about.

I met one for breakfast one day. He had said he was a widower and I asked how long his wife had been gone. "It'll be three weeks next Thursday". NEXT!
 
Com'on! There is a nice old guy that would appreciate your cooking, cleaning and washing the sheets, and he might enjoy a little action between those nicely laundered sheets...
 
Yup, especially when it comes to the thinking of an old boy who will adore you providing you conform to the rules of his generation. Go find him now and make some geezer happy...
