Don’t be needy and depressed. No one is attracted to that…man or woman. Don’t talk about your kids…unless someone knows you they don’t care. Don’t drink too much….that’s a killer. Make them feel important….Don’t grill them….just be lighthearted. I got remarried at 79, it can happen!
A friend of mine recently told me that his 95 year old great aunt recently married the love of her life, and they honeymooned with a world cruise. She is a lecturer, and he's a retired pastry chef. With that being said, she's scaled back her lecturing schedule -- not because of her age -- but to spend more time with him ... and sample pastries, I presume.
You 60year olds are hilarious and this posting was right on! Keep it up. Comment: 1st date should not be a job interview OR a tell all. Please keep some mystery. In my mid-70's are there are wonderful men out there who are not looking for a 'purse or a nurse'. I am subscribing.
A couple of years ago I found myself in a romantic situation. My chest started pounding so hard I thought I'd have a heart attack if I kept going! I think he was relieved when I said STOP I can't breathe!
Dating after sixty is tricky. It seems like the pool of available men is really small. Also, I find that it's harder to tell how old people are. I can't tell if a man is in his forties or his sixties. Then there are the younger men that seem to be attracted to older women. It's tempting but hard to want to start something that will likely be a short term thing. I've been trying for years, but I'm not giving up.
I know how it feels to be lonely without our love ones, we've all lost our love ones in death one way or the other, either a spouse, child, family members, or a true friend that meant the world to us, such is life I understand how you feel but life must move on because death is inevitable no matter how hard we try! And we'll all have to face it someday, and every of our love ones we’ve lost will wanna see us happy anywhere they’re. I lost my oldest daughter Annabel on February 24th 2020 during the lockdown on a car accident, and she just turned 22 on her last birthday before she got knocked down by a moving vehicle 🚗 and so unluckily for me that horrible day the driver was drunk. That was the worst and most lamentable day of my life as a single Dad raising two kid's, my 17 years old son Clark and my 4 legged 🐶 families are my everything and the reason I still keep strong, and keep going! My late wife also passed away 3 years ago from a shocking disease, I felt deeply devastated with grief, and I was so heartbroken 💔 God and time are indeed the best healers. I'd love to talk to you more if you don't mind! So it would be nice to get a reply from you when you got time okay. 🌹🌹
I agree with you. There doesn't seem to be many men, that are available. We also all carry life's baggage with us, and both parties have to be careful how we deal with that aspect of a friendship.
I am taking a break from looking for a boyfriend/relationship. My new goal is I am looking for travel partners or small groups of people who enjoy travel. If I found a travel partner, it doesn't have to be in the form of a relationship, it can be just friends. Most of my travel is with these tour companies and that gets old.
Getting honest with yourself is so important! We also totally agree that it's tough online. We're hoping to start an in person "speed dating" event for us women over 50 at some point... maybe not so "speedy" though... It'd be more like "spud" dating haha 🥔
church has been where i've met two men. when i was 88, i became friends with a widower, age 94. we never went on a date, but we sat together at lunch after church, bible study, concerts, etc. he was very hard of hearing, so when he told me he loved me after bible study, i just kissed his cheek. he is now deceased, but it's a sweet memory. at a new church, a man asked if i'd like to go for "breakfast" after church. he immediately deluged me w attention, though he's 10 years younger. this did not turn out well, as most of our "dates" were evenings in a bar, and he became verbally abusive. i'm now 94, not looking, but still smiling and wearing makeup---
That’s a problem when you start dating when you’re older as they pass away, men usually before the women and really I don’t want have to take care of a man, I’ve been a caregiver my whole life that just does not in the least interest me and frankly even though I am fairly well myself I want to take and do self-care And not worry about everybody else
I’m the same as Mary. I like my independence. Ironically, I’m married to a really exceptionally kind man, but we keep separate households. Works for both of us.
Suzanne Derringer Yes, that’s true. Mind you, I’d rather live in a caravan than live with a man just to save money. I’m too set in my ways, and so is he.
This is more and more common. My aunt and uncle have been married for over 50 years, and have kept separate households in different states for the last 20. It works incredibly well for both of them, and they see each other when they feel that need. Not for everyone, but I think it's something some people should consider.
Thanks for your great advice Hello Mrs Margaret 🙏I'm not afraid of losing anything I would love Ol Blue 👀 eyes👨🦳👰♂️ whenever or where ever thank you Jesus Christ there is no who's the boss the only thing that Matters is Love &Respect great advice, Thanks so doggone much Beverly, 💘💝💖💗💞💕❤❤❤
@@charlestremblay256 Hi Charles, I am not an expert but I will say I dated several men(once and done dates) met 2 wonderful guys ... close friends with one and in a relationship with another(a little over a year now) The adage that we have to kiss a lot of frogs(frogesses?) is not untrue. I was blessed to meet several nice gentlemen and quite a few "crazy ones"... so my best advice would be to take a deep breath and keep the faith.

Cute "bookstore" story. I've had that happen to me a few times at various places only because I am outgoing and can make casual conversation; you just have to be thick skinned. I find the "quality" of men out there has really gone down hill.

Oh Margaret!! That story in the bookstore! I used to think that when I asked a man to dance-- I just asked for a dance-- not to get married!!

There are a lot of good men out there. I am dating a man 6 years my junior. Hes very mature and caring. We love each other to death.

I love your passion for life
What about my fear of losing my independence and freedom....I run the other way...
Me too.
mary hodgins so just stay by yourself. Problem solved.
Hi dear
You can't still have your independence and freedom?
lol - try a part time partner!
"The lady in her 90s who's had several relationships from her 70s "but they died". OMG !!!!!
#4 is awesome! Date several men so you don't get needy and expect the guy to text or call every day.
That's wonderful, where are you from ?
Hello dear
Wonderful smile you got , how are you doing
Can we chat to know more about ourself
Hi
Excellent advice. Thanks so much.
Hope you’ve found love, peace and happiness again?
There is no dating only shared interests!
Sure
I like that idea!
Great ad vice it's awesome ☺️
Foodie calls most woman eat and drink like their going to the electric chair on the first date and guys head for the hills .

@@dollladie seems interesting
@@verenatravelssolo2527 How are you doing ?
I'm not into power at all. I'd rather be loveable and laid than loveable and empowered!
not mutually exclusive
Exactly , 60 year old men do not want a femnazi still pushing their agenda into the grave . Learn to give a man peace or leave them alone.
I've had that too, and I wasn't flirting. So it does give you pause.
Great advice!!!!
Move to a country where we are valued?

Hello
Hello how are you doing my love babe
Hello Gloria
Nice to meet you here , how are you doing
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Hello how are you doing my love babe
Hello Susan , nice to meet you here
How are you doing
Hi
Where are you supposed to meet men in real life ?
Places that you love to go! :-)
Every place you go to
Of course, out come the trolls.
The guy who showed her his wedding ring must be really conceited
Or...gets hit on a lot and assumed this was just another one. I think we've all encountered that...I usually said I already have a boyfriend. It's OK.
Hello Paula , nice to meet you here
How are you doing , if you don’t mind can we chat
Hi
Hi
Would probably never date again...and certainly wouldn't marry again !...freedom..with my animals..yahoo..
🙄🙄🙄
Never get in a relationship with someone for sloppy seconds, ever, that's just bad advice...
Really
How are you doing and how is the weather over there ?
