Re: Over 50s Dating
I once met a guy who put an ad in the paper, years ago, he was nice, a lorry driver, kept me in toilet rolls for months!I'm too set in my ways too for a "relationship" can't be bothered to leave notes for people to say where I'm going, that sort of thing, but it would be nice for outings, theatre and seaside etc. feels a bit daft to go on your own!

Re: Over 50s Dating
I have never tried online dating but some time ago I did the one where you record a message, and the newspaper publish a special phone number, prospective dates pay to listen to the message, then either leave a message themselves or they can write to a POBox. Or neither!I got over 100 replies back then, and I dated a number of them ... some interesting tales to tell, but not here as I wouldn't want to frighten the horses.
But it isn't just feeling daft going somewhere on my own, it's just - if it's great there's no-one to enthuse with. If it's horrible there's no one to bitch about it with. If it's funny there is no-one to laugh about it with.
No-one to share things with, basically.

It is a very difficult thing, very painful. A best friend can be as hard to find as one ages, as an SO.

Re: Over 50s Dating
I'm happy to go places on my own - holidays, cinema, days out, etc - I usually end up chatting to someone even at the bus stop.The one thing I can't do on my own is go dancing - I need a partner for that although there are some places I do go on my own if I know there will be ladies (or men) who I can have a dance with (I can dance the man's steps as well as the lady's).

My late uncle danced beautifully. He met his 3rd wife going sequence dancing, and had a few more happy years in his golden age!

I realize its better for a site to keep having new members joining all the time, but if the dating possibilities can't find anyone on their area, these members may begin bothering people here with out & out suggestiveness or we'll be going through what we all just went through. Am I making sense?

Re: Over 50s Dating
I think I should put the record straight...My Wife Mavis of 53 years is terminally ill and I'm not interested in anyone else so those off you who took my "Friendly Banter" the wrong way should back off...I have a few friends on here who "Get me" so I'll stick with themLuv

PS you should start the Singles Site
