I did go over and read the post. It was good. Thanks to your info on online dating, I won’t be going back there anytime soon. Was thinking about it but now it’s a definite no.

Agreed, the economy does have an impact on dating. Personally, I’d rather mix up my own cocktails at home with friends anyway, because a.) I don’t have to drive so I can drink whatever I want, b.) I don’t have to spend money driving around and looking for parking spots, c.) after I’ve been drinking and I have forgotten how close to midnight it is I don’t have to worry about the carriage turning back into a pumpkin on me and having to foot it home while missing a slipper and wondering what happened to those damned mice. It gets really old running around in your rags in the rain.

Hope you’re not single for the next ten…unless you want to be. :D

This is to Jimmy,
I just had to laugh at his comment about the Cougar thing getting way out of hand. LOL! Now he knows how women have felt for centuries because as we age we’ve been competing against those 20-something-year-olds.
Ah, yes, there is a little justice in this world after all! :D

David,

I’m so glad I found you! (grin)

I’m becoming (as hard as it is for a middle-aged free lance journalist who likes her solitude) an advocate for making an effort to meet potential dates in more natural environment. I think part of what online dating nurtures is way too many choices, twinned with the illusion that you will find perfection — without having answered your own questions and done your own personal work.

I did some reflecting on this in a recent post on my blog:

Now I’m hoping to meet the man who dials down my sense of irony. It’s kind of toxic.

Glad you are doing so well!

hey! – 40 somethings are the new 30 somethings – I am so fit now and in my sexual prime – wow I’m Hot! ;0) And my kid is 10 so I’m not looking for babies either. Maybe you should add 10 years to the age you are looking for. I met my husband in an internet chat room about 9 years ago – not a partner search or an Adult one – just like a standard chat room. I saw it as the equivalant of a Blind date like you would have from a lonely hearts add but I rarely tell people because onlining meeting still has a sordid stigma – that’s wrong.

You don’t sound unhappy to me. In fact you seem like a pretty balanced guy, so I think you should just carry on as you are – sounds like life is pretty cool and the 50 somethings that I know seem to be having a ball – I heard STD’s were ramping up a treat in that age group!!!!!!! Take care ;0)

This is my first big weekend on my own. I went from being married for fifteen years to being in a long term relationship with the man I thought was The One to now…*gulp*…being on my own for the first time EVER. (I married young…)
And I guess that the point behind my rambling comment is that at first I thought ‘oh crap! I could be alone forever because of this…’ and now…I’ve moved on to thinking alone is better than lonely with the wrong man.
I appreciate the relaity check and the change in my perception of the situation. Life really is more about what you make of it, how you view it and face it.

My divorce was in November also, two years ago. I hope that doesn’t make me an Old Maid!

Seriously, though, you seem to have tons of advice for us (at least sort-of) newbies, and I thank you for it.

Hey, That’s a 10 Euro bill. Sorry, I wish I had something more relevant to add. I’ll go away now :-)
